Customer Guides

A side mirror is a necessary piece of equipment on any car because it allows the driver to see behind the car and the sides of the car. This is especially important in preventing accidents while changing lanes. Side mirrors must be present, complete and functional to pass a car inspection. However, when it becomes damaged, driving not only becomes harder, it also becomes very dangerous. You could even have trouble with the cops. So it is important to maintain the good condition of the side mirrors. Here are some practices that you can do even at the comfort of your own home.

 

Test the switches.

 

 

The switches that operate the side mirrors are important indicators of damage or unresponsiveness with them. It quickly tells you that there's a problem with the adjustment or heating. Once in a while, try to work the switches and "play" with them. This takes away any inhibitions against the side mirrors not working in the middle of driving, at least.

 

 

Test the wiring

 

 

By testing the wiring using a test wire for voltage, you ensure that the side mirrors are getting enough power for it to operate properly. To do this, you must detach the side mirrors and locate the wires. There are several wires for heating and adjustments, so you have to be very thorough. Don't forget to put the car in the "on" position so that you could get readings.

 

 

Replace the fuse.

 

 

From time to time, the fuse needs to be changed because it gets damaged from the continuous use. Locate the right fuse in the fuse box with the help of the owner's manual. Be wary if the mirrors have heaters in them because they might need additional or a different kind of fuse.

 

 

Drive with caution.

 

 

Finally, and most importantly, drive with caution. There are a lot of times that the damage done on side mirrors are caused by minor accidents. If the mirrors get knocked over, there's no chance for it to be put back together. However, minor damage in the body could be repaired. If there are no substantial damage with the wires and the glass itself, then just glue the missing pieces of the body together.

 

A Few Tips in Cleaning and Maintaining Your Toyota Tacoma Mirror

Your Toyota Tacoma mirror can literally be your lifesaver. Unlike before, driving carefully is no longer enough to ensure your safety on American roadways. From time to time, you'll encounter blind-spot lurkers and drivers who failed to detect your presence and just suddenly merge into your line. Hence, it always pays to take good care of your "lifesavers" as they will give you the kind of surveillance you need for defensive driving. To maintain the functionality of your Toyota's mirrors, here are some tips to keep in mind:

  • Use only the right type of commercial cleaners on your car mirrors.

Auto mirrors can be cleaned using just white vinegar, water, and newspaper or clean cloth. Many drivers, however, trust commercial cleaners more. If you are one of them, make sure to stay away from ammonia-based cleaners. While ammonia is an ideal glass cleaner for your home, it can be harmful to many automotive surfaces and to your health as well. Ammonia causes vinyl, rubber, leather, and plastic to dry out, so if your mirror housing is made from one of these materials, you'd better get a new cleaner and just reserve your ammonia-based cleaner for home use. It is also a good idea if your cleaner has a non-smear solution as it will make sure that the mirrors are free of smears and dirt marks.

  • Make cleaning your car mirrors the final step in your thorough car wash.

It's best if cleaning your Tacoma's windows and mirrors would be the last step in your car wash. This will eliminate any overspray that the mirrors may have caught while you're cleaning and giving your body panels a neat and finished look.

  • Clean your car and your mirrors on a warm day but never in direct sunlight.

It is also a good idea to clean your Toyota Tacoma, including its mirrors, on a warm day, under a shade. If the cleaner you're using contains harsh chemicals and the sun's heat causes the cleaner to evaporate quickly, there's a chance that you'll inhale the fumes, and these may pose health risk. Even if you are using non-toxic cleaners, evaporation of such fluid before your towel hits the mirror glass can cause spotty residue.

With properly working mirrors in place, you'll always be informed of the road condition around your Toyota Tacoma. They also help you spot those drivers who make poor judgment and wrong decisions on the road, thus giving you time to change your course of driving to avoid any road mishap. But despite their importance on driving safety, most drivers only pay attention to their side mirrors when they break. Fortunately, you don't need to replace the entire mirror assembly just because the glass is broken. Also, replacing a broken mirror glass is easy and can be done without the help of a pro. With just a few basic tools and a little bit of time, your broken Toyota Tacoma mirror glass can be replaced without you being charged for an expensive repair. Here are some tips to help you pull off the DIY replacement easily:

Tip #1: Purchase a mirror glass that's pre-cut to the specs of your car's mirror housing.

One of the easiest ways to cut down the time needed for the replacement process is to get a mirror glass that's already shaped and cut to the exact specifications of the mirror base or housing. In most online sites, such mirror glass is labeled as vehicle specific. You may need to provide the online site with specific details about your ride, so it can find the product tailored to the exact specifications of your model's mirror housing.

Tip #2: Make sure the mounting surface is clean.

After ridding the mirror base of broken pieces of glass, sure enough, there will be some adhesive left on the mounting surface. Make sure to scrape all of them, and clean the mounting surface with alcohol wipes or a clean cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol. Allow the area to dry before proceeding with the installation. Doing so will make the adhesive stick well unto the mounting surface.

Tip #3: Back up the adhesive strips at the back of the glass with rubber sealant.

If the replacement mirror glass you've purchased already comes with adhesive strips on the back, don't rely solely on those strips in keeping the mirror glass in place. To be sure that the glass won't fall no matter how bumpy or speedy the ride gets, reinforce this tape with clear silicone adhesive or a thick bead of rubber sealant. Just make sure not to place them on the spots where the adhesive strips will come in contact with the mounting surface. It would also be wise if you'll hold the newly installed Toyota Tacoma mirror glass in place using a masking tape until the sealant cures.

Are there different features when selecting a power side mirror for a truck?

A lot of power side mirror features are available in the market today. Heat or heated mirrors are designed with a built-in heating system, which can defrost or defog the glass. Dimming or auto dimming is also another option which automatically dims the mirror when light is flashed onto it. Signal light power side mirrors feature built-in turn signal lights on its housing or on the glass itself. Electric folding mirrors can be controlled via an electrical switch, to fold the mirror inwards towards the door. Another feature is the built-in memory chip which allows the driver to program his or her preference on the mirror's position.

 

Do mirror manufacturers use different types of glass on their mirrors?

Manufacturers use different types of glass when designing mirrors for specific functions. These different types of glass help the driver improve his or her field of vision while driving. Flat or plain glass is a flat mirror glass commonly used for all types of vehicles. Tinted glass is glass permanently tinted with shades of brown, gray, or even blue. This type of glass helps reduce glare from strong sources of light. Convex glass is usually curved and is used on most passenger side mirrors, to widen the driver's field of vision. The statement, "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear", can be seen labeled on all convex mirrors.

 

What are the different types of side mirrors available for a Toyota Tacoma?

There are several types of side mirrors available for a Toyota Tacoma: the power, towing, telescopic, and manual type. A manual side mirror's glass needs to be adjusted by hand, while a power side mirror's glass can be electrically adjusted via a button on the truck's dashboard. Modern pickup trucks are designed with power side mirrors to eliminate the need to manually adjust it by hand. Towing mirrors allow the driver to see further behind the truck, since they are extended further out. Telescopic mirrors are adjustable and it allows the driver to see further behind the truck.

Power and manual folding feature

Power mirrors are considered a basic-tier feature for most modern cars. It lets you fold or unfold your mirror assembly without hopping out and manually pushing or pulling the component.

Power-folding mirrors feature a wiring system that’s connected to a control pad mounted inside the door panels. Manual-folding mirrors, on the other hand, are easy-to-install parts that don’t have electrical wiring.

Heated and non-heated mirrors

Heated mirrors keep your mirror a hundred-percent clear during winter. The glass is heated by a thin heat pad stuck on its back. Heat pads feature loops of elements that are capable of induction heating.

Both power and manual folding mirrors can come with heating function. You may also ask a mechanic to convert your non-heated mirrors to heated mirrors, but it would be a lot easier and cheaper to buy a replacement instead.

Other mirror features to take note of

Now that you know the different types of Toyota Tacoma mirrors, here are a few extra features that you may find useful.

Built-in signal lights

Since trucks are relatively longer than cars, it is good to have additional signal lights. Side mirrors with signal lights offer additional warning for other drivers on the road, especially when your truck aligns with their blind spot.

Mirrors with puddle lights

The Toyota Tacoma stands tall and hopping out could be difficult at times—not to mention that jumping onto a puddle only makes things even worse. Good thing there are puddle lights which illuminate the ground for puddles and mud.

Memory feature

The memory feature in side mirrors allow multiple vehicle users to access different angle preferences at a press of a button. It features a system that saves the mirror angle and stores that data for future use.

If you share your truck with a family member whose height is far from yours, the memory function allows you to automatically adjust the glass according to your preferred positioning without a sweat.

Blind spot corner glass or feature

The blind spot corner glass is a tiny piece of mirror mounted on the top corner of your truck’s mirror. It features a convex surface that provides a wider reflection of the rear.

Finding the right fit for your Toyota Tacoma

Product fitting varies depending on which generation your Toyota Tacoma belongs to. To get the most accurate result, indicate your truck’s year, make, and model. You could further narrow down your search by utilizing the “Shop By” menu and selecting from the listed categories.

How much is a Toyota Tacoma mirror?

Toyota Tacoma OE replacement mirrors are typically priced anywhere between $110 and $900. Parts are sold either individually or in sets of two. Take note that it is still advisable to let a certified mechanic install a replacement part to ensure proper fitting.

Indications that you need your mirror replaced

Mirror damage is easily noticeable and therefore must be addressed immediately. Here are a few symptoms of a failing side mirror.

Broken glass

The most obvious indicator is a broken mirror glass. Cracks on the glass surface can distort the reflection which could lead to distance miscalculations.

Stiff mirror adjustment or assembly folding

Drivers must always have the ability to control and adjust the angle of their truck mirrors. Incorrect mirror positioning could result to blind spots that can cause lane-changing accidents. This risk applies to both power and manual folding mirrors. Make sure to have your mirrors checked as soon as you experience difficulty adjusting them.

Heated mirrors that won’t heat up

Heated mirrors that won’t warm up are likely to have fried electrical wiring or faulty heat pads. It’s best to let a certified professional check it to avoid further problems.
