Side mirror broken off, 3 bolts broke in half, any recommendations? Checked local scrap yard, only have a maroon coloured match or I can buy new black mirrors for 100$, what would you do? Getting paint buffed out minor damage on side of truck.

 

the plastic that is painted can be removed and put on the new mirror

I prefer OEM over aftermarket

Good Luck
Ron

 

Is it difficult to remove, if it's not I'll go grab the maroon coloured mirror pop that off and put on the red, thanks Ron

 

Asked a detailer from my work if the paint could be buffed out he said he could try his best I think most will buff out hopefully except the scratches to left of door handle that's gotta be re painted

 

I have not done one of those in a while I would have to look at it again, lol I would test on the maroon mirror then you will see how it is attached

Just sent you a PM

 

That's a good scrape!

 

If you try and pull off the mirror cover from the outside you will break the attachment tabs. You have to go in around the mirror with a long thin screwdriver or something and lift the tabs up off of their attachment points.

I actually bought a set of aftermarkets when my left mirror wasn't acting quiet right. Turned out to be a bad switch after all. The aftermarket jobs won't angle properly. All the way in on the passenger side won't even let me see down the side of the truck. I will be putting my oem ones back on shortly.

 

you do know you can adjust the mirror points? they ride n a ratching lock slight pressure will adjust them.

 

You gotta believe me.... I tried. A little pressure and a lot of pressure. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Probably the fact that I paid $35 for the pair may have something to do with it.
