Anyone know of parts source for Clearview towing mirrors?

[ProDave]

Our Hilux came fitted with a pair of Clearview extending towing mirrors fitted.

One of them, the indicator unit has a crack and is letting water in. It is still working but will likely fail at some point.

Some pictures

The manufacturer lists an indicator unit for $95 which sounds expensive and that is even before determining if it fits my mirror or not.

Having removed the indicator unit, I find it is made by Chris-Cam in Taiwan. It has a part number of CC119005-R Patent D131625 and date code 04/16

Searching for those part numbers does not yield anything.

Anyone got any thoughts?

MaxiMover of Lincoln have an online shop and they make their own mirrors for the Van Conversions that they sell; I bought an offside mirror for the M/Home [next day delivery turned into a 7 day delivery, but partly down to DHL having had a large fire at the Manchester hub which messed tracking systems up badly. Have had to rebook M/Home for the Mirror fit at the garage, so I won't find out for 2 weeks how good it is ..] for £387 inc VAT - much cheaper than Fiat genuine mirrors. Might be worth a try - service@maximover.co.uk email

I suspect that is Australian $ (£50) rather than US (£80),

Possibly try UK breakers search, or a Toyota FB group.

I doubt a Toyota dealer or breakers would help (I have the original Toyota mirrors in a box) These were fitted for the demountable camper, they are extendable so you pull them out when the camper is on, push them back when the truck is solo,

And to be clear, I just want the indicator unit not the whole mirror.

It is still working but it has a crack and rainwater gets in. As a short term fix I have drilled a couple of small holes in the bottom to let it out again. But sooner or later it will fail, so trying to use that time to find a replacement.

I thought it would be easy when I found the manufacturer and part number. but not so.

If I can get it for £50 including postage I will go for that. They have not replied yet.

Have you asked the people who fitted the demountable?
Presumably they fitted them during the conversion.

As a temporary fix what about clear silicon.

 

[ProDave]

It already has silicon in the crack, that has not worked as water still gets in, hence I have drilled holes to let it out at the bottom so it does not accumulate.

My enquiry to Clearview has given a response of a UK distributor that has it in stock. https://www.4x4works.co.uk/product/clearview-towing-mirrors-replacement-indicator-lens/

Which is the company mentioned above.
