side mirror motors...

[tAn_CamRy]

last summer, some bastards stole my driver side mirrors...so i went out and stole one to put back on my car.
recently, some bastards stole my mirror again on the passenger side. but this time, i think they broke off a piece of the motor cuz somethings missing and i cant get the mirror to stay. anybody hav any ideas what i can do?? right now its duck taped up. i considered gluing but i'm afraid to try it cuz if i mess up, i wont be able to take it off. anyone know of a place where i can purchase a motor other than a dealership. for that matter, does anyone know if dealerships even sell just the motor?

by the way, my car is a 98 le. i've noticed the design of the back of the mirrors change every year...

try ebay? shouldnt be much more than $50.
someone stealing your mirror doesn't justify you stealing someone else's... oh well im not your parent.

I don't know about changing every year, but at least for the 4th gen, (97-01) USA manufactured Camrys have a different linkage from the back of the mirror to the motor than the Japan manufactured Camrys. Other than that, they should fit okay.
