My passenger side mirror housing is cracked. Does anyone know if I can just replace the housing with a new one? If so, where can i find it? The dealer only sells the complete unit. This is a 2005 SE Thanks

I opened my garage door opener and attached and external push button switch connected via a lead. i placed the switch into one of the unused slots. it looks clean and cost me only 5 bucks.

I know that Toyota recommends two different lithium grease for the yoke and the spiders. I was just wondering if the synthetic based lubes are better for this. Has anyone tried it? Thanks Joe

I have an 05 and rust spots are beginning to appear on the chasis and some of the nuts and bolts etc. Just wondering if other people are experiencing similar rusting... What the best way to prevent this? Is it covered under warranty? Thanks Joe
