    I bought a 2018 Tacoma last week. Didn’t look over every inch at the time. Today, I found a hole in the front/underside of the driver’s side mirror. A rock most likely.

    Is there an easy way to make a repair to this without paying to replace the entire unit?

    Looks like the piece just pops off. Search around for part numbers for that piece and replace it

    Yes that piece just pops off. Not sure if you can just purchase that one piece or you may need a whole mirror assembly.

    Find someone who bought MESOs puddle lights that replace this piece. I’m sure someone would sell it for cheap.

    Pull the broken piece and look inside for the part number.
