    seen a youtube video where a person bought 2020 Rav4 side mirrors with built in blind spot mirror for his 2020. QUESTION: has anyone bought 2021 Rav4 side mirrors and popped it on that to their T4R? link to youtube video https://youtu.be/LVz-WCqmaTE

    thanks for that suggestion, def will look into that. i seen that you went with the convex mirrors as well from sumo. from your before and after pics it looks like it made a significant difference. btw, sick mods to your 4R. your 4R is a beast. very nice detailed sharing. also, I like how the spacers added that mean aggressive look. i have a long ways to go on mines.

    Thanks for the kind words. Yes I ran the suma for a while and was very happy with them. But I changed them out for the CTH convex mirrors as they offered a LED turn signals.

    If you have turn signal mirrors, adding convex mirror glass and LED turns signals on the mirror is a nice upgrade.

    Looks good!. Any issue with water getting behind the mirror? How is the fit compared to OEM mirrors?

    It same size as oem so fitment is identical. It has mirror heated glass like one but also includes convex and led turn signals. It has a bluish tint which helps with glare.

    I did the Rav4 swap on my 2019. Easy and works fine.

    I also did the RAV4 on my 2018 SR5 prem. I find them invaluable, as I had similar mirrors on my mustang and the T4R does not have blind spot monitoring.

    Any of y’all doing the RAV4 swap find the heat plug to be an absolute b***h to remove from the factory mirror? I picked up a pair and thought it’d be a quick swap but got stuck with the plug not wanting to come off the 4R mirror.

    I like the Suma version...would you happen to know if they restock often? Currently out of the heated, non-turn signal mirrors on the Suma site...

    So is the wiring/plug for the turn signals separate from the heater wiring/plug?

    So the wires showing in this photo are for the heater?

    And these are for the turn signals?

    The CTH one is convex, just like the Suma mirror, instead of relying on the small convex mirror in the corner, as in the Rav4 version.

    I really wish if dealers here in CO can swap the mirrors of my 4Runners to Rav4 mirrors. I really like the regular main mirror and the tiny blind spot mirror.

    I'm scared to replace my self as I'm scared of braking the glass, damaging the adjusting mechanism & heating.

    CEB2C990-4C9A-4EE7-82D2-1169F5E244DB.jpg Those wires are for the led blinkers in the glass. The heating element wires are male connectors like the oem ones

    I take it the clips circled in red are what hold the mirror glass in...?

    yes. But if you see the three guide pins were molded in the wrong locations. I had to dremel them off. But keep in mind this was the first set from summer 2020. I don’t believe the current glass has this issue.

    Here’s the oem glass vs convex glass. The convex is wide angle and shows more

    Just curious - I'm leaning toward the CTH convex mirrors, and wonder, do the turn signal arrows show up in the glass if they're not wired in?
