Pragmatic and clear instructions...my mirror popped in EXACTLY as he described

Thank you for making this. I got it done in under 10 minutes with a replacement off Amazon. I'd also note that if someone does not have the dielectric silicon grease they can also use a few drop of dishwashing liquid. Worked well for me, and an old trick from my plumbing days. Thanks again.

My new mirror had popped out so I found this video to learn how to re-install it. Perfect instructions, especially the tip to use silicone to make snapping it in easier. Thanks!

Perfect video to help with doing this, the angle and the simplicity of the instructions made replacing mine extremely easy, thanks!

[Fuji-BBMaster]

Thanks for sharing! With your great directions it made it really easy to change!

The older rx models are really great gems, they're truly ahead of their time. It's such a shame that the front dash leather cracking is a universal problem for them :(

many thanks. was struggling with my 2003 lexus rx300. your method of tilting for the initial insert was a great demonstration.

Thanks for the video. It's EXACTLY what I'm dealing with. Tried today and couldn't get the metal guide clips off the old one and couldn't snap the bottom tabs in on the bottom of the new one. I hope the mirror will stay on for a day of driving just being held on by the top clips! Will try again tomorrow after giving the metal clips another try and getting the grease.

well done mate, needed this video, couldn't work out which angle to put it back in from. Cheers

[daredevily]

Thank you for the video! I am going to be doing this job tomorrow.

[KrACMonkeys]

This video was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks.

Outstanding!!! I have a couple of tips to add to this outstanding YouTube after just now completing the job on both sides thanks to this YouTube: 1.) Before you start, center the mirror with the controls Left/right in the mirror housing, 2.) With the mirror controls, tilt the mirror as far "Up" as it will go, 3.) Since the both mirror assembly/housings are "break away", holding the mirror assembly with the door closed, swing it forward (don't be afraid you will not break it) with confidence and it will unlock and swing forward giving much better access and ability to see up under the mirror glass when you are first getting started, 4.) Spray silicone spray with the little red tube from the spray can up under the back of the mirror towards the two bottom clips to make it easier for them to "unclip" when you pry with your screw driver. 5.) Just cut the single connector off the old mirror that has the connector snap fit to the old mirror as you will not be using it and it is way easier than trying to disconnect it. DON"T cut either of the single (identical) wires that are next to each other for mirror heating.

Thanks for the video on sideview mirror! i have a 2008 RX400h where the driver's side mirror won't tilt up or down using the button.

On 2006 Toyota Avalon you have to first put on hook-like connectors on the bottom of the mirror and push it in lightly until it clicks and then the top ones will also click without any major pressure. the video is very helpful but on my Avalon 06 that you have to do it as I described on top

Thank you, sir, for your guidance because with help, I was able to the right mirror on my 2007 Lexus Rx350 😊

Top man legend! Thanks for saving the day.

Came across this video becaue someone hit and run and fortunately on the driver side glass cracked on my 08 lexus rx350. Seemed easy enough for someone with no experience working on cars to complete. Got the mirror however it looks like the metal from the heating wires were not clipped on but sautered together. Was that the case for anyone else?

Overall great video tho!

Any idea where I can buy 2010 lexus rx350 driver side mirror replacement clips? I bought a mirror on eBay but it doesn't come with the clips. I wish I could use the ones from the old mirror, but some jerk stole the mirror and clips.

[MichaelHoang-RetirementPlanner]

I need to replace my 09 Lexus RX350 side mirror. Can you show how to do it ? Thank you in advance.

[aadil]

Great video. Im almost there. What does the silicon grease do? Any tips to get those bottom two clips to lock in without breaking glass?
