Is the 4Runner mirror mount (part that attaches to the door) close enough in dimensions to the Highlander to do a complete swap? The electronics would be a puzzle in itself, but possible as long as the mechanical pieces can fit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know, but where there's a will, there's a way! We've talked about this before, not sure what thread, and I stand by what I suggested then. Look at the jap. version of the 4runner the Hilux Surf. I know that my old corolla had a option for power folding mirrors in Japan but never in North America. Maybe the same for the 4runner.
EDIT: Check out this thread
JDM Tyte Yo!. I know its a 3rd gen but if they had the option, then I'm sure we did.
EDIT 2: Here's whats I was thinking

I love how big my mirrors are vs most other SUVs.

I wouldn't say complete useless. I try and get a car wash roughly once a week and one of the "rules" is to fold in you mirrors so I would definately make use of it.
Also I agree with the LOVE for our mirrors, my 4runner is in the shop (getting an exhaust installed) so I was driving my dad's 2001 Protege. Holy **** I don't know what they were thinking when they came up with these mirrors but ill tell yah one thing, they're just for looks...I couldn't see anything thru them.
