How to Replace the Outside Mirror on a Toyota Avalon

The Toyota Avalon is a full-size luxury car produced in the United States since 1994. The outside mirrors on the Avalon are fairly easy to remove from the vehicle, and most of the work deals with exposing the cables and electrical connectors for the mirrors. In order to do that you need to remove a number of panels from the interior of the vehicle. The procedure is the same for both of the outside mirrors.

Instructions

1

Detach the two clips and three claws from the armrest with a screwdriver, and remove the armrest from the vehicle. Detach the clip and five claws from the upper armrest panel, leaving the master switch for the power window still attached.

2

Disconnect the electrical connector and the three retaining screws for the power window master switch with a socket wrench, and remove the master switch for the power window from the upper armrest panel. Detach the seven claws from the lower armrest panel, and remove the lower armrest panel with the door lock switch still attached.

3

Detach the electrical connector for door lock switch, and detach the two claws on the door lock switch with a screwdriver. Remove the door lock switch from the lower armrest panel.

4

Place a clip remover in front of the door handle between the door trim and the mounting plate for the door handle. Hold the clip remover in place and turn the handle to remove it from the door panel. Detach the clip and claw from the garnish, and remove the garnish from the door panel.

5

Remove the three retaining screws and eight clips from the door panel with a screwdriver. Pull the door panel upward, and detach the door handle from the door with a screwdriver. Push the door handle forward, then away from the door to release the claw on the door handle. Remove the door handle from the door with the cables still attached.

6

Disconnect both cables from the inside handle and remove the service hole cover from the front door. Detach the electrical connector from the outer mirror, unfasten the three retaining nuts from the outer mirror with a screwdriver and remove the mirror from the vehicle.

7

Install the new mirror, and secure the retaining nuts with a screwdriver. Attach the electrical connector to the mirror and replace the service hole cover on the front door. Connect the cables to the inside door handle.

8

Mount the inside door handle to the door, and replace the door panel. Attach the garnish for the door handle, and fasten the door handle to the door. Install the door lock switch to the lower armrest panel, and install the lower armrest panel to the vehicle. Install the master switch to the upper armrest panel, and install the upper armrest panel to the vehicle.
