Hi,
I have a 1997 Camry.The passenger side rearview mirror housing broke. I got one from Pick-A-Part. Can I get the instructions to replace the housing?

Thanks in advance
Kaarthi

Hi Kaarthi,
I have a 2001 Camry too and the housing on the passenger side mirrror is chipped as well. The housing is gray in color and the mirror is powered and heated. It has been very difficult for me to find just the housing. The dealer says I have to buy the whole mirror and that costs about $240. That is a lot of money for something so trivial.
You mentioned that you got the housing from Pick-A-Part. Were you able to find the color and housing only? That is amazing>>>>

Hi,
I noticed that you mention you got the housing from Pick-A-Part. I am surprised you were able to purchase only the housing. Did you get the color you required?
I have a 2001 Camry and the housing is chipped. I was not able to find anyone who would sell me only the housing. The mirror is intact and working.
If you need instructions to install the mirror, you may look at the following websites -
