Somebody hit the Solara's side mirror and ran, leaving this for me to look at all day (the person was already gone by the time I found out):

I am driving it to the dealer tomorrow, I don't know how much they will charge for this fixing.

Fxckers. Sucks that people have no respect for other people's property... I'd like to see how they'd react if I walked up and beat the crap out of them for no reason or better yet, randomly vandalize their house :roll: .

Cost

Postby JMSinMaryland » Fri Oct 19, 2007 4:52 pm

For replacing a sideview mirror (whole unit) we charge 1 hour ($100). There's no way of knowing if that could just be fixed or the whole unit needs to be replaced.

up until yesterday my lara had no big dings like that.

Right now I am trying to get the parts from a junkyard.

Today, I called a local Toyota dealer to ask about a brand new side mirror's cost. My jaws almost dropped when he said "230 dollars".

Suggestion

Postby JMSinMaryland » Sun Oct 21, 2007 5:29 am

1. Contact NVDIS1 (reggie) if you need to replace it

2. It looks like you might be able to fix it without replacing it.

That's expensive for the kids that don't know how to change them out.... I swapped one out on Posh's solara last year, easy job, got the mirror for 80 bucks, new, painted, from toyota.... lol

my dad helped fixed the passenger side mirror yesterday (11/2/2007).

it looks a bit better now but it is not as perfect as before:
