Replacing a Side View Mirror on a Lexus IS250

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The IS250 has a weak side view mirror that is very easy to break. Purchasing an original mirror can be quite costly. We are trying out an aftermarket mirror we purchased from Amazon for $88. I hope it works.

    Thanks, this helped me a lot as it was difficult to find a video of the whole assembly replacement. I have an 08 is250, and these instructions transferred over exactly the same even though they are 2 year’s apart. If anyone on here is wondering if this will work for 08 is250, I can happily say (yes it does), only took me 30 minutes. Thanks again! Ps, if you finish and notice your automatic window for drivers side door is not automatically going down. Close all windows, shut the door and hold UP on the driver side door window control for 10 seconds, then let go and it should work.

    Thank you SO MUCH!!! I was replacing the mirror for a family friend and of course looked on KZread to see if anyone had made a video and yours was the only one for that specific model and year! You saved me hours, I'm sure, of trying to figure it out. I know making videos and editing is very time consuming and I appreciate you taking time to do so. Very grateful. Thanks again.

    This video will never win a prize for videography but shows exactly what needs to be done. Thank you. Tip: When putting the nuts back onto the mirror studs, tape the nuts to the socket. They will start to thread easily and once on the stud, remove the socket. The tape either comes with the socket or you can use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove it from the nut. Tip: The door panel is quite heavy and for the IS 250C, there are many connections. You really don't want the panel supported by the wiring harness. The panel only needs to move back about 5 or 6 inches. So make an "S" shaped gizmo out of a piece of 1/8 rod and hang the panel on the door. Use a rag on the door to avoid scratches.

    Thanks for the video Did it today ended up going mechanic for that rest due to not having magnetic tool. Get prying tools plastic and thin to avoid damage and scratching Get 10mm magnetic socket tool because you want to catch the nuts without letting them fall and not having to open up too much to do this Defo buy the door clips mine came off one broke and one got stuck BEFORE YOU START KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING OPEN THE WINDOWS FULLY DOWN AND DISCONNECT THE CAR BATTERY BECAUSE MY Fuses OR Something ELSE MESSED UP AND NOW MY RADIO AND MIRROR Switches ARE NOT WORKING Don't worry you don't need anyone there with you to catch the mirror it won't fall off if the screws are off cos it sits at an angle but get help putting the door frame back on and make sure your lock is unlocked fully when connecting door wires on Be gentle taking that door panel off from bottom right at start For someone inexperienced an hour should be ok putting the door panel on is tricky

    Thanks for this. How has the side mirror held up for ya? My wife has a 2009 IS250 and the side mirror keeps wobbling. When I took the mirror apart there's this spring that you need to compress back onto the shaft. I was able to compress the spring back in but it keeps popping back out after awhile. This has to be one of the dumbest designs I've seen for a car part. The spring can easily come off, even if you just bump into the side mirror it'll come off.
