i failed today.

[jonathan_matos5]

i went for some drive through fast food, and managed to knock the passenger mirror off my car. it is gonna cost me about $50-70 to replace it.

meanwhile it is hanging by a cable off the door as a constant reminder of my fail:scowl:

Take a close look at the mirror and see if you can piece it back together onto the door mount.

My driver's side mirror has been knocked off twice (by a trash pickup truck).

The first time the mirror had the wires still attached. I put a bit of super glue on the door mount and the mirror plastic surround. Held it on for about 5 minutes and it worked fine.

Knocked off again but with the wires broken. Unscrewed the inside plate, reconnected the wires (stripped, twisted, taped). Put mirror back on outside mount and repeated super glue process.

No problem for the last year.

Save money, go to the junkyard and pick one up yourself. Epoxy works wonders too. PICS!!!

dude, you live in oklahoma, i'm sure there are more junkyards there than walmarts.

No chance you can use one of the generic replacements from an auto parts store? Think I paid $10-15 after a deer took out the driver's side mirror.

Even if you have to do $70, that's still pretty gentle in the grand scheme of vehicular mishaps.

Just a reminder...

I can relate. I bought a brand new car last October. I had it less than a week when I ripped my passenger mirror off backing into my driveway. That little number cost me about 200 bucks. Needless to say, I am a little more careful backing into my driveway now.

saw someone do that with a brand new vw passatt last year.

i'm sure his repair was more like $400!

two ton epoxy, jb weld, or duct tape. They fix everything. Absent from that list is PB Blaster, which is one of the 4 most miraculous substances ever, but won't help you here.
