Funny little cargo mirrors - 10/9/2007 5:39:15 AM    MrsFantastic   Posts: 2 Joined: 10/8/2007 Status: offline I have a dumb question...well maybe not so dumb but the salesperson coudln't answer it.  Iam picking up a 2007 SR5 today and in the cargo area near the rear lift gate the are these two little interior mirrors.  I have no clue what purpose they serve...they appear to point out the rear window of the car, but I'm not sure.  Does anybody know what these mirrors are for??  :) Post #: 1

Or concoct similar situation.  I just got mine yesterday - we live near a school, we have another car that blocks view in driveway, I can see clear down the block on the sidewalk, in either direction - and right behind the car, too, where the little ones might be hiding. _____________________________ ---------------- 1996 SR5 4x4 w/moonroof, tow package, leveling, needs paint, lovely old girl. wants new shocks and a thermometer 2008 SR5 4x4 w/moonroof, black w/gray, so far all standard equipment.

However, I did find them helpful for getting the middle of the truck lined up with the tongue on the trailier. (in reply to greg) Post #: 7
