Thanks! It wasn't exactly the same on my new (to me) 2002 Saturn SL1, but it was close enough to be really helpful! Probably saved me at least a hundred dollars!
Thanks Keef C -------------your a first class person ---------thanks for educating me on how to remove and install a drivers side rear view mirror -------my car is a 2002 Pontiac Gran Prix GT --------------it was almost identical-----------Thanks again ----Cheers
Thanks. Your video really made it easy. Replaced both the driver's side and passenger's side on my son's car. Boy, are kids hard on their cars. I had two different manufactures. Depo and Polyway. The Depo was a better product and fit better.
My driver side mirror got smashed by a bus passing by in my dear city, Philly. Thanks for the video, I almost spent too much money for the dealer to replace. The video really helped out, thanks!
Hi Keith! Thank you for your video! I would have never thought to replace the mirror myself if I had not seen your video and how easy it is. I'm a girl, and these things can look really intimidating. ;) Thank you, and take care.
You're a lifesaver. I spent more time looking for my socket wrench than I did replacing the mirror, and this would have cost me upwards of $200 at the dealership. Thanks so much!
Thanks man, tried to park my car in a real tight spot and it didn't turn out so great haha, was able to fix it before my dad found out :) Don't worry I'll tell him one day!
Exactly what I was looking for. These non-folding mirrors are awful. Do you have any clue if the new (2012?) scion tC mirrors would fit on a 2008 model?
Nice vid, but the one step I was looking for was to how to remove the mirror itself from the housing. I'm guessing yours was missing and is why you are replacing the whole thing. If not, please let me know how you did it.
Hey saidas108 - yeah, I pretty much destroyed my entire housing and shattered the mirror inside as well. So in my case replacing the whole thing was necessary. I'm not sure if just the mirror/glass can be removed/replaced from the housing - sorry.
Derflaggenhooven - where did you order your mirror from? They must have a choice of mirrors that match the factory paint right? Or do they need to be painted to match?
Thanks Keef, My Daughter just bought a 05 Scoin and the passenger side mirror was broke, they said they fixed it and all they did was glue it and tape it. It Looks horrible. I asked them to replace it and they said it would cost over $400. I bought one on ebay for $40 and fixed it myself. Thanks for the great video.
Thx Peter! Glad you're avoiding the stealership nonsense. Everybody's gotta make a living, but the labor cost to replace something as simple as the side mirror is insane. Good luck with the install!
Wow! This video is fantastic. Just broken off my mirror, it's dangling by the wires. After an initial half hour of cursing, I feel I can do this myself. Thank you so much for this GREAT quality and informative video. Where did you get the mirror? Please give me some ideas of where to buy this item. Thanks again.
Does anyone here know if the 2007 Scion TC mirror looks pretty much like the 2005 in this video? I know I have 2 wires inside the case (one for the signal, one for the mirror glass). So, I was just wondering if replacing it myself would be as easy as it looks in this video. I feel temped to try. Dealership labor is $119. Thanks!
@EMILITO06 - The replacement has the turn signal as well. When you connect the electrical wire harness between the door and mirror, you're effectively connecting the power to adjust the mirror, as well as to enable the turn signal.
My. drivers mirror light stopped working i didn't know you had to buy the complete mirror assembly if your blinker stops working..I bought the light by itself cost me 40dollars...WhichI couldn't figure out how to open the dam thing ...I bought a complete mirror assembly on Ebay for 50 dollars and super easy to install..Thanks for the video
+Keef C My trunk is stuck. The hatch is broken in the back and I can't open it. People say their is an emergency button or you can stick a flat head in some part in the middle enclosing in the back. But doesn't work. You have any suggestions? Thnx
Hi Nathan - sorry for the delayed response. Hope you got everything worked out. I haven't much experience with the potential emergency button or the hatch mechanics.
Hi there, did you get your mirror from Amazon? I was wondering if it's a perfect fit, and if you had to paint it. I have to replace the driver side mirror on my 2007 Scion TC, but don't know if I should go OEM or not. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this! A pigeon committed suicide at 85 mph, exploding both himself and my mirror! Almost a $500 fix at the dealership! I'm about to pick up my exact match mirror at the local wrecking place for $50 and install myself with your auspicious help. :)
wileyfoxmulder oof - that's insane! sorry for your mirror and that unfortunate pigeon! but glad you're going to save your wallet from an equal degree of impact by replacing it yourself. ☺️ Good luck and happy, safe driving!
You are a god send. Not only did you show a how to but also your video is connected to a amazon purches which made it easy to track down which mirror to put on my TC. Thank you!
Thanks, This is a very good video. Very good tips and instruction. I don't see how I could make a mistake.
Thank you. Very helpful. I am installing a mirror in mother-in-laws 2005 tonight. Great Guide.
Thanks! It wasn't exactly the same on my new (to me) 2002 Saturn SL1, but it was close enough to be really helpful! Probably saved me at least a hundred dollars!
Awesome instructions 👍🏾👍🏾. I just used this to change my broken mirror on a 2009 Scion TC. Thank you!!
Hey you're welcome - thanks for commenting! 👍🏾

Thanx. I just got my mirror fix cuz of this.
Thanks. Your video really made it easy. Replaced both the driver's side and passenger's side on my son's car. Boy, are kids hard on their cars. I had two different manufactures. Depo and Polyway. The Depo was a better product and fit better.
Thx Joel - glad it helped! And yeah, the guys are rough on the *outsides* of their cars; the gals get the award for the inside. :D
Joel Thomas hi j

Hi Keith! Thank you for your video! I would have never thought to replace the mirror myself if I had not seen your video and how easy it is. I'm a girl, and these things can look really intimidating. ;) Thank you, and take care.
It amazing how much the dealers try to gouge you. New one 83.

Thanks...saved me a bunch of money...never knew I could do this myself--54 yr old non-mechanically oriented woman.Thanks so much!
You're a lifesaver. I spent more time looking for my socket wrench than I did replacing the mirror, and this would have cost me upwards of $200 at the dealership. Thanks so much!
Glad to hear it! Use that 200 to buy something killer for the car! Thx for the comment!
Excellent video. You helped me replace a mirror quickly and painlessly.
Thank You!
Thx Scott - glad it helped!
Hey just wanted to say thanks. I was going to pay someone else to do this but found your video and did it myself in 10 minutes!
excellent - nice work! yeah, save that cash to spend on something fun!
Thank you so much for you video it saved me time and plus I was going to take the whole door panel off
Tatted Queen thanks - glad it helped! And that you found it before door removal chaos! 😅
Thanks man, tried to park my car in a real tight spot and it didn't turn out so great haha, was able to fix it before my dad found out :) Don't worry I'll tell him one day!
hahah - nice. Yeah, give it a few months and then break the news. Lol
This is a lot easier than I thought. Thanks
Exactly what I was looking for. These non-folding mirrors are awful. Do you have any clue if the new (2012?) scion tC mirrors would fit on a 2008 model?
great video ! absolutely fantastic. It clearly demonstrates all the steps. Fantastic job ! Thank you very much ...
Thx Azfar - glad it was helpful!

Excellent vid! Where did you order your mirror?? How much did you pay?
OMG! Thx you! Someone nicked my mirror and I wanted to install it myself! Will do! Thx for helping a girl out!

Keef C Thanks anyway! :)
My pleasure! Good luck with the replacement!
Did you find a way on how to install the mirror. I didn't have to replace the whole thing. Just the mirror. Thanks in advance
Very well done video. Easily installed, thanks!
Thanks, Charles!
thanks
Wow! Thanks so much for this video! Ordered my mirror online, now I'll try to install it. Will save me lots of money for sure!
My pleasure - thx for the comment! It should be no sweat for ya - good luck!
Good job

What is the mirror size??
Derflaggenhooven - where did you order your mirror from? They must have a choice of mirrors that match the factory paint right? Or do they need to be painted to match?
This is great! Thanks for taking the time to document this!!
Great video, I'm actually about to change my mirror. This really helped.
Should've watched this video first. I tried to pull of that triangular cover with my bare hands and cut up my finger lol. Thanks for the video.

so i guess it's the same for the right side right?
My right side mirror is loose. Now i know how to access the screws. Thanks!
Thanks so much, Keith! You saved me $150 over the dealership prices...I owe you dinner. :)
Wow! This video is fantastic. Just broken off my mirror, it's dangling by the wires. After an initial half hour of cursing, I feel I can do this myself.

please send msg me the link as well! would it be the same step if it's on the passenger side? also, my car is 07. will the mirror be a similar model?
knocking this out today, thanks for the video!!
aaron krautkramer absolutely! Good luck with it, and thx for the comment!
Keef C was a breeze thanks again
You made this so much easier and I thank you for that!
Thanks ! That was very easy..... saved the $150 installation by dealer and time to drive there and b ack.... great video
Thx Mark! Glad you got to avoid the stealership costs to install something so simple. :D
@EMILITO06 - The replacement has the turn signal as well. When you connect the electrical wire harness between the door and mirror, you're effectively connecting the power to adjust the mirror, as well as to enable the turn signal.
lol - thanks. And you're in good company - I was on my way out of the garage when i forgot how physics worked. :D
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback! Glad the vid's proving useful! :)
My. drivers mirror light stopped working i didn't know you had to buy the complete mirror assembly if your blinker stops working..I bought the light by itself cost me 40dollars...WhichI couldn't figure out how to open the dam thing ...I bought a complete mirror assembly on Ebay for 50 dollars and super easy to install..Thanks for the video
Roger Hernandez fantastic - thanks for the comment!
Does anybody know how to change the rear view light mirror u know how they are yellow i want them white..
What is the mirror size?
I actually don't have the car anymore, but it was for a 2005 Scion tC
Thanks for all the comments, guys - much appreciated! And jojoboyj, yep, just repeat the steps for the passenger-side mirror as well.
Would you expect this to be the proper installation of a 2010 TC also?
Hey Corey - I'd suspect it's probably very similar. The part no. might change but I'd think the overall design would be consistent.
No problem - glad the video helped!

Thank you. Extremely helpful.
Great video, thanks brother!!!
Could you tell me how to just replace the lens of the signal light on the mirror its busted would I still have to take the whole mirror off?
Sorry Christie, I'm not sure of the answer to that. It may be less trouble to replace the full mirror housing. Wish I could be more help.
great video!
this was perfect. just replaced my side mirror myself, today. thank you thank you!!
Awesome, Chewie Mon! Glad the video was helpful! 🙂👍🏼
thanks, keith, you da man!
Ps look for mirror on amazon. About 65 delivered.
You are a god send. Not only did you show a how to but also your video is connected to a amazon purches which made it easy to track down which mirror to put on my TC. Thank you!
