Manual Mirrors 85 GT?
« on: Sep 27, 2021, 06:00:22 am »
I just picked up my first Celica and overall its in subpar condition. (exterior isn't too bad but interior is nearly gutted from the front seats back.)
I noticed that the wires to the electric mirrors aren't wired up but im wondering if Celicas came with Manual adjusting mirrors as these electric ones have to be adjusted constantly. I have two spares but all 4 are electric. Kinda prefer the analog mirrors from older cars. The doors are also manual roll-up, not electric.

Manual mirrors were more common on cars outside of the US; all US cars had power mirrors as standard.

Ah, wonder how hard those would be to find. either that or just do the hard work and redo most of the wiring harness to the mirrors myself. the parts bin that came with it seems to have multiple plugs from other celicas it seems so i should have plenty to work with. thanks for the info  :laugh:

They can be found on Yahoo Auctions Japan actually! But they aren't the cheapest option, and I haven't seen them for a while.
