REAR VIEW MIRROR FELL DOWN?!? PICS !! **Help Please**
So my rearview mirror just suddenly fell down the other day. as per the pics it looks like the piece was just epoxyed into place and the heat must have broke the seal. I picked up the new pieces from Lexus and the guy had no clue just exactly what pieces I need. you can see the new piece next to the one that was epoxyed and those two lil circlular ***** & the spring. I have no idea how this goes together, does any one have a clue? does it need to be epoxyed?? any help and input would be AWESOME as I am driving around with a swinging rearview

happened to me two years ago. good thing i had some shoe-goo or it might have been amazing goop. anyway, apply it liberaly and let it cure. it'll never come off again unless you really really really really try.

Mine broke a few weeks ago. It was the white piece with the bearing [2] in it that broke. I bought new ones (comes in a pack of two) and fixed most of the problem. The metal housing [1] was broken. The little tab was "worn down". So I replaced that as well. Now my rear view mirror acts like, well, a rear view mirror.

i just had this problem where i lose one of those bearings. I just went to the junkyard and broke a mirror of an old LS400 and took the bearing from that mirror because they're the exact same. the hardest part is to get it in the housing. get 2 pilers and guide it the hardware in. I hope this picture helps lolllll
