Hi. I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years' experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1aauto.com. The right parts installed correctly. That's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we'll be showing you how to replace a mirror on this '98 Toyota Camry, same as any '97 to '01, and the only tools you'll need is a flat blade screwdriver and a 10-millimeter wrench or socket and ratchet.
Okay. We're going taking a rag and a screwdriver, and we're going to work them in from the top here. The rag is just to protect the paint, and you kind of work it down and then you pry against the door until the trim plate comes right off. Okay. Then once you get to that point, you have to remove this lower nut first. It's 10-millimeter, and this is on the car with the upgraded stereo, too, so you may not have this little tweeter here. You pull that off, out of the way, and then you remove this 10-millimeter nut and this 10-millimeter nut. Okay, so I've removed that nut. This one is loose. Here's the connector for the mirror. Just pull it off. Okay. I'm going to hold on to the mirror out here. Remove this last nut. Okay, and this usually takes a little bit of shaking. Okay, and then, you get your mirror off.
Okay. Now, most after-market mirrors come in black and, depending on the condition of your car, you might be okay with putting a black one on there, but what you can do now is if you look in the Yellow Pages for an automotive shop with a paint shop, you can drive the car over there, and they'll find your paint color, your paint code. They'll mix you up some paint, and they'll put in actually into an air charge spray can so you can do the repaint yourself on the mirror, and they'll match it pretty well. It may not be a perfect match, but it'll be a good match.
Okay. Obviously, you need to put the mirror back on. It's a reverse of the procedure. Make sure this gasket's all on here good. Okay. Kind of do this. Actually, I ... yes, that one's okay. Okay, on this car, I want to put that top one on. I'm going to tighten it. You want them to be firm but not too tight because your mirror is plastic. Then, on this car, with the little tweeter, I'm going to put that up in there. I'm going to put the lower nut on. Throw that on. I'll throw this on, and then I'll tighten them up. Okay. I'm just going to tighten up the bolts on the nuts here.
Okay. We'll take our trim panel. Okay. There's a tooth here that goes down into this hole, so kind of put it on here. Excuse me. I'm actually going to try and fix this. This should be underneath the panel. On this car, it had been allowed to pop out. See if I can get it on here the way I want it. Okay. Then I can see back in. I can see the little pin that goes into there, and it's back on. Correct.
There you go.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the power mirror on this Toyota Camry. This one's a 1998 but the procedure is pretty much the same for '97 to 2001 Toyota Camrys.
You'll need a new power mirror from 1AAuto.com, a 10 millimeter socket with a ratchet and extension, flat blade and Philips screwdrivers and a small pick tool.
Using a small pick, remove the plastic trim that should be inside the bezel here covering this Phillips head screw, as well as this and this plug in the door panel. Our arm rest is a little stretched out here. Normally, you'll have to take a flat-blade screwdriver, place it underneath, pop up the trim panel, pull it back, move the switch housing from the door, and disconnect the electrical connectors. You'll also want to release the top of this black cover behind the mirror with a flat blade screwdriver, pull out, lift up to release the lock tabs on the bottom. Remove with Phillips head screws from the door panel, three on the arm rest, one on the handle bezel, one here closest to the dash and two underneath with a number two Phillips screwdriver.
Using a flat-blade screwdriver, reach between the bottom of the door handle and the bezel, pop it out, do the same thing on the top just above the lock, open the handle, pull the bezel out. Pop out the bottom of the door panel, lift up and remove the panel from the door.
Peel back the weather shielding on the inside of the door skin. Remove the connector for the mirror, remove the rubber cover on the front, lower mirror nut. Remove all three screws with a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet. Don't remove the last nut entirely until you're ready to remove the mirror from the door. Remove the rest of the last nut, remove the mirror and the wire harness from the door.
Here we have the old mirror which we removed from our vehicle and our new part from 1A Auto. As you can see, these mirrors are identical while this new one does need to be painted to match your vehicle, or you can buy a pair both in the same black and use them so they match.
We have the same three mounting bolts on the side here. It comes with a new insulating form, keep down noise, vibration and seal the weather outside of the car. You'll notice that while our harness is fixed on the OEM mirror, our new mirror comes detachable at the back. Should you ever need to remove this mirror again, there's no reason to remove your entire door panel to do so. You can move the small, black cover here, unbolt it, and disconnect directly from the mirror in the inside of the door. Remove it without having to take the interior part.
If your old mirror has a broken housing, it's falling off, the motor has gone bad or the glass is shattered, this new part from 1A Auto which includes glass already installed in the housing is going to go in. Direct fit just like your original equipment and fix you up right.
Reinstall your new mirror into the holes in the door. Our mirror comes with three new 10 millimeter nuts, we install those. Just hand tight for now. Then the rest of the way with a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet. Reinstall the rubber boot on the bottom bolt closest to the vehicle. This protects it from damaging the paint when we open and close the door. On the new harness that comes with your mirror, we'll install the smaller of the 2 3-pin connectors into the mirror. Reconnect the larger of the two connectors to the female connector in the door. Stick your weather shielding back in place.
After installing your mirror and hooking up the electrical connections, turn your key on and check all four directions to make sure that the motor operates properly.
Reinstall your door panel. Hook this channel into the top of the door, line up the plastic clips into their appropriate holes. Make sure that your door lock and window switch wires are pulled through the panel so they don't get locked behind it. Pop the panel back into place and reinstall your hardware. Reinstall the two Phillips head screws at the bottom, three in the armrest. The screw at the top-end side edge of the panel and its plastic cover.
Reconnect the electrical connectors on your lock and window switch. Slide the front tab onto the panel and snap the back and sides into place. Open the handle, slide the hook on the back of the bezel into the square hole. Snap the rear tabs into place, reinstall your Phillips head screw. Snap the crew cover into place, and now we have a nice, new handle and bezel assembly in our door. Reinstall the back of the mirror cover, hooking this tab into the square slot, snapping this one into the plastic retainer there. Reinstall the plastic cover for your armrest grip.
