My Toyota Sienna driver side mirror housing swings freely, the mirror inside is fine but the housing can not be pushed or pulled into a firm position. I do not know if some kids thrashed it or if a car drove by too close and hit it. There is no outward side of damage it just swings freely.

In addition to the advice at the above site, I found another trick to removing the trim around the inside door handle. The above article refers to putting a screwdriver UNDER the door handle and pushing down ... to release a "secret latch". That's the first step. The second step (which is not in the article) is to insert the scredriver ABOVE the door handle ... vertically above the spot shown in the article. Then gently press the screwdriver handle down. With the screwdriver acting as a lever, the tip of the screwdriver will push UP on the top part of the trim. That will lift the trim up off a small pin on the handle mechanism. With both the bottom and top of the trim piece now "unlatched", slide the trim toward the back of the car, while you open the inside door handle (as mentioned in the article). The trim will come right off. Be sure to slide the trim toward the back of the car, as you move the trim away from the door panel. (There is a "hooked" piece of plastic on the back of that trim that prevents you from just pulling it out perpendicular to the door panel.) 'Hope these fine points help.

Sadly, the power windows on this van are not very robust. Worse yet, the windows will go down but not go up--except perhaps a little at a time. But eventually the motor will no longer work.
I disassembled my power window and found there was no way to replace the motor except with a (very, very expensive) factory part.
My passenger window is currently broken like this, and I disconnected the wiring to prevent anyone from operating it. I keep my passenger window very very clean because friction (like sap from the Almond tree in our front yard) wears out the automatic windows quicker.
In your case, there's no real workaround because it's the driver's window--go to the dealer and see what type of price you can get for the replacement part.
My condolences.

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you can access the bolts that secure the mirror onto the door

I had to replace my passenger side mirror on my 2004 Sienna a while back. I took some pictures as I did it. Maybe this can help.http://time4nothing.blogspot.com/2008/03/fixing-04-sienna-passenger-side-mirror.html
