Noob to my new Supra - Mirrors

Staceman · 11-29-2006, 08:23 PM

High folks. Got a question regarding Power Mirrors. My glass portion of the door mirrors are junk. Pass side is cracked, Driver side has water stains on the inside. Has anyone removed/replaced the mirror portion on their car? I'm looking into removing some from a parts car, but I dont want the entire assembly, just the actual mirror. Oh yeah, I picked me up an 88 Turbo, Auto, Targa. Runs like a champ. I had to replace the big air tube to the turbo 'cause it was massively cracked, other than that, I've shimmed the waste-gate, and I've been lurking here. Great Forum, thanks all!

carefull running the car with a shimmed wastegate as ive heard it can lean you out. as for the mirrors, why not just replace the whole assembly?

My Supra has been re-painted body color red, and the finish is top-notch. I want to keep the same bodies.

Running lean?, my boost guage barely touches 8 PSI, is that a problem? Let me know, Thanks!

I think by replacing the whole assembly he means the inside of the mirror, motor and all. Not the plastic covering thats painted.

Hmm. That's doable. Thanks!

You can buy just the glass (plastic0. A auto glass shop can do it too.
