Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how to video helps you out and the next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, I'm going to show how to replace a side view mirror on this 2008 Toyota Tacoma. It's not a hard task. The tools you'll need are a small flat-blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and a 10mm socket with a ratchet.
To take the door apart, you start here. Use a small screwdriver, reach in, pull that out. There's a Phillips screw in there. Same thing here. Small Phillips on that door, a Phillips screw in there. This clip right here, push the center in and then the clip comes out and then this panel here. Just put your hands in behind and it pops off. Fast forward as I remove those two Phillips screws. You'll also want to come up under here, lift it up with your fingernails a little bit with a small screwdriver again, carefully pull that out and forward. On the side here, there's a little tab. You push the tab in and you pull. Now, there's kind of a locking collar. Gently kind of work out the screwdriver in there and pull that locking collar back and the locking collar comes off. Then that disconnects. Pull this collar all the way back until it clicks. Put that there. Then just use your fingers, work them in behind the door panel, pull firmly and there's a series of clips. Right around this edge. Once the clips are off the door panel comes right off.
Okay, right here is where the mirror connects in. You should press this tab at the top, disconnect and then there's three 10mm nuts right up here to remove. Use the 10mm socket with a ratchet and extension to remove those three bolts. Okay and I'll speed it up as I remove those bolts. Your mirror from 1AAuto. See, it's all the same. It's going to mount in there like the original, put the harness through. Remove the shipping protectors first, put the harness through and put it in place. Put the nuts right into the socket and just put them on. Speed up here again as I start the other two nuts on and tighten them up and you want to tighten these up nice and firm, don't over tighten though.
Okay, we're going to replace your door panel, pretty easy task. Make sure the harness comes through, put it up and on to the window sill, kind of look back here and peek in and see your pins, make sure they're going in correctly. Let's put that in here. We will push this back through so the lock is sticking up and put it in, push it to lock it. Speed this up as I put the two screws back in. The black one goes in behind the door panel and then the silver or natural colored one goes in behind the door pull. Put the trap doors back in place. Again, make sure that this locking collar is pulled all the way back and let's see here, put it this way. You put the back in first.
