98 Avalon Power Mirror mechanism

[phillyv]

Some Jerk stole my side view mirrors and in the process...broke the power mechanism that moves the passenger side mirror around. Can I buy just that piece without having to replace the entire housing? Is there an after-market solution? Please help.

I own a 1998 avalon, and why I have not touched the mirror, I am pretty sure you can just replace that piece without replacing the housing. Now, they dont sell that particular piece online, but if you go the dealership, they would be able to order it for you and get it replaced without disrupting the whole housing. Thats the great thing I find out about modding toyota, everything is pieced together, so if u bust something, u dont have to replace the whole damn car.

I hope you are right about the mirror part.
I needed a little clamp for the tailpipe on the 4Runner because it rusted away. I went to the dealer and was advised that the only way to get the clamp was to buy the whole tailpipe assembly. I made my own with strap steel.
