Where can I obtain a backing plate with glass mirror? My 2001 Toyota Camry: passenger side (non-heated) glass mirror popped out (unknown cause) & lost. Do not need a complete side mirror unit - just the glass.

Hello,

Those mirrors can be purchased from several online vendors.
Places like Amazon sells just the mirror as well as the complete assembly.

Inspect the mirror housing on your vehicle and make sure that the plastic retainers are in good shape. As if they are broken the new mirror will not be secured.
If those clips are broken, you will have to replace the mirror assembly.

Here is a helpful video:

I have attached the mirror replacement procedure below.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
