Stolen Mirror!?

[Jeffwouldgo]

We got our mirror glass stolen ($260!) from our driveway at 11pm. Im curious, has anyone else had anything stolen without the alarm going off? I’m curious in what else might be targeted.

Side mirror ?

 

[Jeffwouldgo]

Yeah the mirror glass, popped it out and unplugged the cables.

The only common theft thing that will set off factory alarm is opening a door. No motion or proximity sensor. I did add a glass break sensor but beyond that there isn’t much you can do to prevent this. Not that it’s common...

That is a narrow group of thieves to steal that

 

[Madtiger]

Wow that is petty theft taken to next level....

Never heard of that before.

I've seen a lot of this in Orange County on my Toyota iM/Corrola fleet vehicles.

A used mirror can't be worth much, but meth is cheap.

My weed dealer won’t take stolen mirrors

On one of our work vans someone stole one tail lightbulb out of a Ford Econoline...left the plastic lens laying on the the ground
in our parking lot.

Nothing surprises me anymore.

Crazy but typical when I lived in SoCal. Also, watch out for stolen spare tires and, much worse, catalytic converters. They just crawl under with a battery powered sawzall and they're done in 15 seconds.

Just the glass for it is $399. Luckily I found a deal for $261 on the one part. I believe the whole mirror is $1200

well, consider that lucky, developing country here, so much effort just to get them mirrors. costing $2,000 wif cameras here, maybe thats why!

HA, and they got it twice, now i park my 7series outside, weird huh?

Not sure if it help, I replaced the mirrors on my 08 with some AUS tow mirrors so I have a couple silver ones from an 08 if you want them

If it wasn't in your driveway I might've thought someone hit it and knocked it out. I see that a lot on the city streets around here... even with mirrors which will flip forward when a passing car's mirror hits it the glass will sometimes pop out from the impact.

We replaced the glass already but thank you for the offer!

Do you have a part # for just the glass (2008)? I see 87961 LH but wanted to be sure. Also, what is the liquid in the mirror membrane? To help defrost? All over the side of my truck now........

Mirror glass for a 2008 Landcruiser is 87961-60B90. Toyota numbers are always at least ten digits, for the record.

My guess on the fluid is it’s for the LCD based tinting feature.. and I seem to remember you do not want that stuff on car paint. Could be wrong about this part though.

Thanks. Just washed door.
