[Hiking] I haven’t changed the assembly, but it’s still done well–Corolla’s right ear mirror healing note

One day, LP came home and said to me, “how much is the Carola rearview mirror shell?”
At that time, I justI must have been hurt again. At first I thought it was a white shell on the surface. I didn’t care about the price of a treasure in time.
It’s just the weekend time, it doesn’t matter from a distance, if it’s a close look.
As shown in the figure:

The housing + rearview mirror turn signal + black frame are all injured.

Almost to change the rhythm of the assembly ah, in addition to the lenses, heating and inside the electric adjustment is OK, to 4S must be the replacement of the assembly, the price does not ask, no 600 should not come down.

On a treasure, the total price is 360, but the original factory is not willing to do much. And decided to find accessories and prepare them to replace the broken parts.

The light bulb and shell are easy to replace, but the black frame inside seems troublesome. Bought accessories, lamp normal 35 yuan, I did not choose, I choose 56 of the Japanese imports, it is said to install basically no gap, in the back I installed and compared, it is true that the gap is much smaller than the left.
Frame I also choose the Japanese imported parts (after receiving the marks of disassembly, second-hand, but should be the original factory), plus the shell of this set (3 pieces) is 260 yuan.
Although there is the idea of 360 to buy the assembly, finally gave up, the shell is not the original factory, but the lens inside the adjustment assembly is the original would be better.

Because time is tight and there is not much research, I watched the replacement video on the Internet and began to do it. Because of this for the first time, the replacement needs to remove the interior door panel, which is already a big project for me.

This floating window horn also has to be removed.

Remove the screws from the door panel.

Remove the decorative panel of the handle and there are two screws inside. (there are many specific ways to find videos on the Internet.)

Without a special sleeve tool, it was not very convenient to use this construction, but it was reluctantly removed in the end.

I feel a lot more relaxed after I take it down. See the screw, remove the electric direction regulator inside, it is not difficult, very simple, there is no particularly complicated place.

At first I thought that the thread needed to be broken before it could be pulled out.

As a result, there is no need to break the line.

Take it out smoothly.

This belongs to made in japan. The price of 56 is not cheap, it is not easy to say whether it is original, anyway, there is nothing wrong with the quality, workmanship and so on.

The OMDJ was removed.

Install a new frame.

It is much easier to restore than to disassemble.

The lights are also installed.

The rearview lens is stuck, and remember to connect the lens heater connector before you snap in-there is no need to separate the positive and negative poles.

The frame showed some signs of wear and tear, and the seller also explained the dismantling parts.

This plastic film looks a little shabby. The black glue still has to be glued, and soundproof is not ideal.

First try to see if the function is normal, test results: all pass.

After loading it, it’s a perfect match. Material cost 260 yuan, looked carefully, there is no gap, compared with the driver’s side of the original factory comparison found that the gap on this side of the driver’s seat is obvious. I think there is no gap in the Japanese-made Corolla. The Corolla I saw in Vietnam before does feel a little different. It seems that there is a gap in technology between the joint venture and the original imported in addition to the price difference.
The rearview mirror mechanism looks complex, its own replacement is actually very simple, Toyota’s design is really convenient to replace, but if to 4S must be to replace the assembly, do not have the patience to do so.

Damaged old parts.
Conclusion: Carola’s right ear rearview mirror treats the injury, and she feels full when it is done.
