2002 sc430 would anyone know where i could purchase the round windshield button that the rear view would attach to?. mine is shot and my spring inside the rearview is shot also, PIA driving around with my mirror swinging around inside my car.

i ordered the spring for the rearview. i sent a message to someone on ebay who is parting out an 02 about the windshield button , havent heard back yet

So you are looking for the part that attaches to your windshield?

This may seem like overkill, but maybe you should consider a complete assembly https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tan-Interio...4AAOSwVNxaDhdR

yes i looked at all the mirrors on ebay they all have the spring but none seem to have the windshield button with it. i ordered a spring online hopefully i can get away with just a new spring

Could you take a picture of the windshield button? I am not sure i understand what you are talking about?

I think the mirror attaches to the car and not to the windshield directly.

If I am wrong, then maybe this will help you

DshngDaryl

HA HA! I just realized, if you had the button to take a picture of, you wouldn't be asking for our help. Sorry about that

DshngDaryl

Any of these look like they may work?

holy sh-t the 2nd (middle one) is it..thank you so very much, what did you type to find it?

7Train

order placed, price of part 4.58, shipping 5.25 lol..that has been happening alot lately to me where the shipping is more than the part..thanks again

DshngDaryl

That's great you could find the part. I would never guess it would be round and not triangle like most.

I ended up searching for "Lexus Rear View Mirror mount"

7Train

really? when i look at Ebay at the sc430 rear view mirrors the mirrors themselves have the same setup as mine in the rear, with the spring with the four prongs. unless that fits into a triangular button then something is amiss somewhere. a quick search of 2002 sc430 rear view mirror on ebay shows the rear of the mirrors and the identical set up as mine..hmmm now you have me thinking.

DshngDaryl

No, you are probably right. I am far from a mirror expert.

I just remember when I had my windshield changed on my Non Lexus, they were traditionally triangle.

If you think it is round and the listing says Lexus, I would trust yourself and the listing, more than I trust me.

it is definitely round and the one in your thread is definitely it. if you still have that sc430 in your pic then just take a look through the windshield you will see what i am talking about..and you are right. since i am dealing with this issue now i an scratching my head as to why the designed it this way. it is probably a lot simpler if they just did it where it slides of and on instead of twist then pull off. the spring gets bent and the round button gets chewed up
