what years 4runners?

FYI,
These parts can be sourced from the 4runner the only differance is the plug housing which can easily be changed without splicing the wires. The wires/pins are the same the plug is differnt.

Reassemble the housing using the 5 screws you removed. Reattach the 3 wires into the adjuster and insert the mirror onto the metal mirror assembly. Attach using the screw through the bottom of the mirror housing. I would say this is a two banana job. It takes more patience than mechanical skill and just a few basic hand tools.

I just completed this repair this morning so I can’t comment yet on the durability of the repair, but I am sure it is better now than is was before I started. I’ll update the post some time in the future with how it holds up to the rough and rocky Arizona terrain.

So how is it holding up?
