So i was driving on a bridge when thr truck in front of me ran over a piece of blown tire about 3 feet long which catipulted up in the air str8 for my hood. Luckily i swerved just enough to not side swipe the car next to me. this is the end result. Deductable is @ $2000 and replacement is $200. i was thinking JB weld duct tape overnight. Didnt work because not enough contact between plastics. Any good ideas other than telling me to replace the whole thing?

if i get it on there permanent again i wouldn't care about losing the sway/tuck in ability of the side views.

Sorry man, that sucks. That said, replace it. Any repair job you do might break free at high speeds, then your loose mirror would bang against the door paint and window... not worth it.

A new mirror is really cheap... In the mean time, just remove the mirror to prevent damage to the wiring and your door/window.

Fix the mother****er cheap ***. You're car is not a ghetto POS. Don't start now. A quick search yielded these for $213 shipped and I'm sure if you look you can find them cheaper.

get new mirrors, maybe the smaller cf ones. I've always liked those. In my opinion, when something breaks or is damaged, it's a perfect opportunity to upgrade

might as well mod that stock car of yours. choose either Craftsquare, Ganador or Chargespeed mirrors.

Consider yourself lucky if a busted mirror is all you got out of the situation.....lions, tigers, and flying tires can cause some major damage.

What didnt recognize the spacers? LOL

well it will look EXACTLY the same even if i drilled a screw into it with JB weld. This woulndnt be a cosmetic issue IF that were to be done. just asking if anyone has had the same problem and if there were some sort of plastic bonding adhesive that worked out well. If it looks the same and i dont use the swivel aspect of it then to you its ghetto to me its i got $250 more in my pocket. If it flies off while driving then sure ill replace it and know that there isnt a compound strong enough to hold. but i think there is.

Cheese n rice your deductible is high.

I'd just replace the mirror. Inexpensive and easy fix.

This, a $500 deductible should not be much more. You're gonna regret if something happens.

Yeah. OP must be opting for really cheap monthly prices but $2,000 is redonculous.

I'm 27 and I'm paying $93 a month for two cars with a $500 deductible for my Z and my wife's Lexus ES350. It's gotta be your tickets, $170 for one car is insane.
