2007 Camry Side Mirror

ferris209 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-17-2007, 05:22 PM

When I bought the car, the first thing I noticed was that it did not have fold away side mirrors like Mazda's, Ford's, Pontiac's, & several other types of cars. Despite this, I took the gamble with the fixed mirrors. Alas, after six month of ownership, my dear wife decided that she would see what a cement pillar would do to the passenger side mirror has she backed from a spot in her garage at work. Now, the passenger side mirror is no more but a broken mess of plastic that I now have to replace. Anyone know the best place to pick any up (I stress ANY because I foresee a future of replacing mirrors on this Camry). Now don't get me wrong, I love the Camry, but for the sake of all that is Holy, could they please put fold away mirrors on it! Anyhow, my car is a silver XLE so I'll have to get the mirror painted and it is power and heated, making this search all the more difficult. I know the fold away mirrors on my Ford Crown Victoria at work have been bent every direction without an ounce of breakage, they are worth their weight in gold to me.

Not Toyota's fault, all on the driver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it is US Built, my parts list says 87910-06200-B0 for RH, Titanium, heated.

$188.59 List - $130.59 + shipping from autopartspeople.com

Maybe cheaper with a higher quantity than one at a time!!!!!!!!!!

Be that as it may, you cannot deny that the fold away mirrors are better. Thanks for the info!

Better for bumper cars or on bush vehicles.

I had then on a car (wider than the puny Camry) for 6 years, never folded them and never hit anything to make them involuntarily fold.

A band aid for carelessness.

I apologize, I was unaware that there were perfect drivers in this world who never makes mistakes. Thanks for the info though.
