Gentex K31 - auto dimming mirror w/ map lights, compass, outside temp. -- installed. - Toyota Yaris Forums

A friend gave me the mirror. During negotiations, I asked my dealer if they would install it for me for free. They did. This Gentex is also a dealer added accessory that they sell in their parts department so they knew how to install it. They've installed a couple of them in other Yarii before and said that I was the first to have a problem with how the mirror's wedge goes down past the dotted area on the windshield.

There's a little arm that goes between the mirror's wedge and the mirror. Both ends of the arm have a ball that goes into a socket (one end on the mirror's wedge and the other end into the back of the mirror). Looks almost like the stock mirror's arm. The wedge of the Gentex slides right onto the button that the stock mirror's wedge used. The position of this button is what needs to be changed. It needs to be moved up a little so that the Gentex's entire wedge will be within the dotted area of the windshield.
