How to Replace a 2005-2010 Toyota Avalon Side View Mirror

by Louella Hernandez on Mar 26 2025
Are you replacing your Toyota Avalon side view mirror? Here's a quick and easy walk-through for replacing your side view mirror on a 2005-2010 Toyota Avalon. In this replacement, there's no need to remove the door panel or deal with complicated wirings. But before we dive in, here’s a cool piece of trivia: according to MotorWeek, the 2005-2010 Avalon was the first Toyota designed entirely in the U.S. From engineering to assembly, it was built with American roads and drivers in mind.  Now let’s get that mirror installed and your Avalon looking sharp again. Tools Needed: 10mm socket wrench Socket extension (recommended) Step-by-Step Instructions: 1. Open the front door to access the mirror and interior trim area fully. 2. Carefully pop off the triangular plastic trim piece/interior mirror cover at the door panel's upper corner. 3. Behind the cover, locate the mirror’s electrical connector. 4. Using a socket wrench, completely remove the three 10mm nuts securing the mirror. Hold the mirror with one hand to prevent it from falling. 5. Disconnect the mirror plug, press the release tab on the connector and gently unplug it from the harness. 6. With the nuts and plug removed, carefully pull the old mirror straight off the door. 7. Check the new mirror for weather stripping and remove it from the old mirror if needed. Most mirrors come with the weather stripping pre-installed. If yours doesn’t, gently peel off the rubber seal from the old mirror so you can reuse it. 8. Install the weather stripping on the new mirror. Press the seal firmly onto the new mirror frame so it fits flush and snug. 9. Align the new mirror with the door. Line up the mounting bolts and guide pin with the holes on the door and hold the mirror in place. 10. Reconnect the mirror wiring plug. Plug the connector back into the harness until it clicks securely. 11. Hand-tighten the three 10mm mirror nuts. Thread the nuts onto the bolts by hand to avoid stripping the threads. 12. Use the socket wrench to tighten the nuts. Evenly tighten all three nuts. Do not over-tighten to avoid damaging the studs. 13. Check that the mirror sits flush. Make sure the mirror is aligned properly with no gaps or obstructions. 14. Reinstall the interior mirror cover. Snap the triangular trim piece back into place on the inside of the door. 15. Test the mirror functionality. Turn on the car and use the mirror adjustment controls to verify that everything works correctly. 16. You’re all done! The new mirror is installed and fully functional—clean install, no fuss. Here's the complete video installation guide on the side view mirror installation of a 2005-2010 Toyota Avalon.    DISCLAIMER: While ReveMoto tries to make the information in this blog as accurate as possible, we make no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or applicability of the content.

How to Remove a 2014-2019 Toyota Corolla Fender

by Rolando Balmaceda on Mar 06 2025
Replacing the passenger-side fender on your 2014-2019 Toyota Corolla may look difficult, but it’s easier than it seems! Even if you’ve never worked on a car before, this guide will walk you through the step-by-step removal and installation process. If you can open a jar of pickles, you’ve got the strength to do this job! The Toyota Corolla, the reliable sibling of the legendary Toyota Camry, is known for its longevity. To keep it looking as great as it runs, maintaining its body panels is essential. Whether your fender is damaged or you're just upgrading, this guide will help you remove and replace the fender with ease. Tools Needed To successfully remove your Corolla’s fender, you’ll need: 10mm socket wrench with an extension Flathead screwdriver Panel clip removal tool (or an additional flathead screwdriver) Yellow painter’s tape (optional, for protecting adjacent panels) TOYOTA COROLLA FENDERS Shop 2014-2019 Toyota Corolla Painted Fender Browse Toyota Corolla Painted Fenders Most people don’t have a panel clip removal tool, but a flathead screwdriver works just fine. The painter’s tape is optional, but it helps prevent scratches when removing and installing the fender. Step-by-Step Guide to Removing the Fender Start by applying painter’s tape to the A-pillar, hood, bumper, and door to protect adjacent panels from scratches. Turn the front passenger-side wheel to the left to create more space for accessing the fender liner pins and screws. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the plastic push pin underneath the fender near the rocker panel, followed by four additional plastic push pins around the fender liner. Locate the small push pin where the fender and bumper meet and remove it with a flathead screwdriver. Remove the larger push pin by twisting it counterclockwise before pulling it out. Use a 10mm socket wrench to remove the two bolts securing the fender liner and splash shield underneath the fender/front bumper. Open the hood and remove the three 10mm bolts securing the top of the fender. Remove the bolt securing the headlight to the fender and then pop the headlight off the fender. Pull the corner of the bumper outward until it snaps off from the fender. Slightly push the bumper away to access and remove the hidden bolt below the bracket using a 10mm socket wrench. Locate and remove the three bolts securing the fender bracket with a 10mm socket wrench. Remove the cover between the fender and door by pushing it upward with force. Use a socket wrench to remove two bolts: one located under the removed cover and another just below it inside the door opening. Remove two additional bolts underneath the fender where it meets the door. Pull out the plastic piece behind the fender. Use a 10mm socket wrench to remove the bolt hidden behind the plastic piece. Additional Step: Hidden Bolt Behind the Fender Liner Your fender still isn't moving because there is a bolt hidden behind the fender liner. Behind the fender liner, there is a hard plastic cover. Honestly, we’re not too sure what this cover does—maybe it’s for noise cancellation or perhaps Toyota engineers wanted to make our lives just a little bit harder. Most likely, it’s designed to prevent debris from getting behind your fender. How to remove it: There is a small circular cap/pin that you need to remove to loosen the cover. Don’t worry about damaging the cover—it’s just plastic, so pull it out forcefully. Behind that cover, you’ll find one lonesome 10mm bolt. Remove that bolt, and you should be home free! Pull back the fender liner to expose the hard plastic cover and remove the small circular cap/pin securing it. Forcefully pull out the plastic cover to reveal a hidden 10mm bolt, then remove the bolt. Pull out the plastic trim cover near the windshield cowl, remove the rubber piece to expose a hidden bolt, and use a socket wrench with an extension to remove it. Finally, pull the fender toward the headlight and away from the vehicle to remove it completely. Installing the Fender Installing your fender is much easier now that you have removed the old one. Essentially, you just need to work in reverse order. 🔧 Need Help Installing? 🔧 Here’s the step-by-step guide to installing your 2014-2019 Toyota Corolla Fender like a pro! Be sure to fit the fender snugly. Our replacement parts are designed to fit as well as your original equipment fender. However, some accidents may cause unseen damage behind the panel, so inspect the brackets and frame to ensure they are not bent. Any misalignment can affect the fitment of your new fender. You should also check the spacing between the fender and the hood. If the gap is too close or too wide, compare it to the other side for reference. Run your finger along the panel gaps—if it feels uneven or gets pinched, there is a spacing issue. To fix this, simply loosen the bolts, adjust the fender, and tighten it back in place. If you encounter any issues, have questions, or need further assistance, don’t hesitate to chat online with our staff. We knew you could tackle this job on your own!

by Production Team on Feb 07 2025
Replacing a 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado fender? Unlike standard automotive fenders that bolt directly to the frame, GMC and Chevrolet truck fenders (including Silverado 1500, 2500, 3500, GMC Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade) feature a complex design with an integrated shelf. The passenger-side fender replacement is particularly challenging because three major components mount directly to it: the battery system, coolant reservoir, and air intake assembly. Ready to learn how to replace your Chevrolet Silverado fender? This DIY guide covers everything from removing the stock fender to installing a painted replacement fender. Here are the essential tools for your Silverado fender replacement: Tools Needed: 7mm, 10mm, and 13mm sockets Ratchet wrench Socket wrench extension Flathead screwdriver Phillips screwdriver Trim removal tool Automotive painter’s tape Painted Silverado Fender from ReveMoto SHOP 2007-2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PAINTED FENDER Driver Side Passenger Side Step-by-Step Instructions: Apply painter’s tape along the door edge to prevent scratches while removing and installing the fender.

Place the coolant reservoir back into position and secure it with bolts. Tighten the bolts securing the intake support bracket. Underneath the hood support bracket, reinstall the two bolts. Ensure these bolts are tightened securely, as they help stabilize the hood alignment. Reinstall the intake manifold and secure it in place. Tighten all bolts that were previously left loose, including those securing the fender and hood support bracket. Snap the antenna trim edging back into place. Check the alignment of all components before proceeding. Reinstall the headlight and reconnect the wiring harness. Secure the headlight with the bolts.

Prepare Your Fleet for the Holiday Rush

by Production Team on Nov 27 2024
We’re off to the busiest time of the year. The holidays are here bringing in a jump in business activities from deliveries to last-minute service calls. Managing a fleet or a few work trucks is extra challenging as they must be in tip-top shape to meet deadlines. Here’s a list of helpful tips to make sure your business vehicles are holiday-rush-ready. Your Fleet’s Image One of the best ways to advertise your business is through your fleet. Your vehicles are your moving advertisement, ensuring your brand is seen wherever you go. And because everyone can see it, the vehicles need to be looking sharp at all times.  Always inspect for dings and scratches. Most of these are minor damages but they can get worse over time, especially during the winter months. For parts that need replacement, pre-painted auto body parts are your best option as you can still use the vehicle while waiting for the replacement part. You can also apply a wax coat to protect from road dirt and debris. Be Winter Ready This is essential if you are located or operate in snowy climates. Maintain your tires by checking tread depth and pressure. Some states require chains during heavy snow but make sure you get what is compatible for your tires. Check your battery health, cold weather can take a toll on older batteries so make sure to test and replace if needed. Almost always forgotten are the wiper blades and washer fluid. Make sure to replace these if needed. The Essentials No matter how prepared you are, expect the unexpected. Breakdowns can happen, anytime. Be ready with emergency kits that include flashlights, jumper cables, basic tools, and a first aid kit. Keep microfiber cloths and waterless car wash spray for quick touch-ups. Ice scrapers and de-icers are a must-have.   Holiday Traffic and Challengers Traffic can be tricky, especially during the holidays. Use GPS and other fleet management tools to avoid any delays. Do visibility checks and make sure the fleet’s headlights, taillights, and mirrors are clean for maximum visibility especially when it becomes dark. Make sure drivers are comfortable by keeping heating systems in good working order for better performance.  Post-Trip Maintenance After the holiday rush, give your fleet a little TLC by making sure each vehicle goes thorough washing, removing all the dirt and grime accumulated. Repair minor damages and have routine inspections to address wear and tear.
