Replacement Mirror Insert Glass for SR5 Power Mirror
Does anyone know how to find one of these? The PO put what looks like a random size mirror (likely from a salvage yard) onto the SR5 Power Mirror assembly. Ebay and Amazon are full of Manual ones, but not power. Power mirrors work fine, so would really like to keep them but need a Drivers Side Mirror glass that actually fits.
Any ideas? I've searched schematics and cannot even find the mirror part number (only housing part numbers).
Thanks.

I have some internal wear on both of my mirrors, and would be willing to buy either a left or right if you found the mirror assembly at an achievable price.

The second link - if you click on the specs below - shows 1988-1995.
How do I know if any of these links or part numbers will fit a 1987 SR5?

It's hard to tell by the description. Is this the actual glass mirror part for Drivers side that I should be looking for:

And if so, is this a feasible replacement one for $40:

MIRROR SUB-ASSY, OUTER REAR VIEW, LH
If so, is this the correct part number:https://parts.lakelandtoyota.com/p/T...796189136.html

I can't improve on your research; the part number looks correct to me.
But since Toyota no longer stocks the part, you might try to place the order and then be disappointed (doesn't hurt to try). In that case, consider
https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dl...-lh-8796189136
I've ordered from them (I had to replace 5th gear in my Suzuki, and while most of the parts came from Saudi Arabia (!!) the rest came from Megazip.) It takes about 2 weeks to get to the US, but other than that the ordering was fine.

OEM Auto ended up not having this (and it took them 2-weeks to let me know). Trying Megazip now.

Update: Megazip cancelled my order after 2-days saying the part was now discontinued in Japan too.
So I’m back to square one.
After reading other threads, I called 10 local mirror/glass shops and 1 said they could cut one for me. I took the mirror with me, but the owner warned me that cutting a standard mirror would make the drivers mirror look very different from the passenger mirror and literally wanted me to sign a waiver as it is somewhat illegal to cut a standard mirror for an automotive application. I may check with a few more places, but really want to find an OEM replacement somehow.
Ebay has a used full D/P set for $160, which is much more than I want to spend considering I only need the Drivers glass and don’t want to deal with reselling the rest.
Any ideas?

This guy's selling the passenger side replacement glass, maybe he has the drivers one also, have you asked him? Maybe he can help you in other way:

Extinct!? They're still alive, they're just hard to find, in fact, I have a pair ready to install. I'm going to take a photo with the manual and power mirror together to check the size difference. I'm going to upload that photo.

That would be great - thanks for the help. If a Manual one is slightly larger, maybe someone could cut it down to fit.

The photo's not conclusive, it looks like the power one (top)'s smaller than the manual, but I can't tell for sure, maybe the angle's not the same in both mirrors, beside that we don't have decent light in the garage at the moment. If you can wait I can take more photos during daytime next weekend, even better, I can draw a 'pattern'(?) on paper around the power one glass to see if it fits in the manual one, that way we'll know exactly if you can buy the manual glass to cut and replace yours. Give a couple of days.

Just wish someone made replacement glass glass for the Power mirrors, which I know are much rarer than Manual and maybe there isn’t enough demand for them.

The glass/mirror guy said cutting it may mess it up - surely not right? If cutting it is fine, I can take my drivers insert (what glass sits in) to junkyard and find one slightly larger to cut.

I think the demand for replacement power mirrors is really low in the overall big picture of companies that make aftermarket parts, considering the rarity of them from the factory. Also, most people want to fix these trucks "on the cheap", which often means broken power mirrors get replaced with the cheap ebay manual mirrors. This sucks for the people who want to do a factory restoration with all of the factory options. Maybe the increased interest of these trucks as classic vehicles instead of the weekend beater truck may change that. Or at least I can hope!

This is my power mirror with the paper template of the glass:
This is my manual mirror:
and this is the paper template of the power mirror glass compared with the manual mirror glass:
Again, the photos're not conclusive. The manual mirror has some black 'border' that hold the glass in its place, probably the glass's even bigger. I'd try the replacement for the manual mirror's if it's not expensive, I think you can reshape it with a sanding machine, you don't have to cut. Let me know how you solve it.
I hope this can help.
