Title? I Don't even know anymore.

Post by Moe »

About a month ago, when I was leaving work, I noticed that my passenger side mirror was pushed all the way forward and one of the plastic pieces was broken (I don't have a picture of just this, but I have a picture of the broken piece)
So, I had to buy a whole half of my mirror (It's the inner plastic part that you can only buy with all of the electronics and whatnot)
Image
I don't need the part that the glass attaches to, nor the hinge, fortunately, those came off with only 4 screws.
Image
This also meant I did not have to take the whole door panel off to remove the mirror, as I had worried that I would! I just had to pop the back(Front?, the ones that face the front of the car) plastic pieces off and remove those same 4 screws.
Image
One thing I was worried about was the blind spot sensor, I wasn't sure how that got removed, luckily it was just 2 push tabs on the side.
Image
Pop that sucker in the new piece, and viola, just put it on, reattatch the cables, put those 4 screws in, and pop the back pieces back on.

Here's what I'm talking about, how it broke. I had driven around for about a month like this, which through that broken piece would expose the plugs sorta to the elements more than they otherwise would be. (It's a mirror, none of the back is actually sealed, so its already technically exposed, this just provided an extra opening.)

I presume someone hit it and didn't say anything. When I left work that day the mirror was pushed all the way forward and broken

I hate it when that happens. Good that you could repair it yourself.
