Ancient humans discovered that they could see their reflections in shiny metal. They began to polish metal disks on purpose and make mirrors. This was the sort of mirror people had for thousands of years until they learned how to make glass. Then, scientists learned to coat the back of a piece of glass with silver to make an even better reflection.

What is the buzzing motor on the side view mirror Toyota sequoia?

The driver's sideview mirror on my 2002 Sequoia started "buzzing" and I discovered that the only way to stop is was to hold the button halfway down that folds the mirrors inward. I used a toothpick as a wedge to keep the button in the halfway down position. I have scheduled an appointment to have the mirror control button assembly replaced. The cost of the part alone is about $150.00.
