I was bumping the song "Showstoppers" and it happened again. The ******* cheap *** cast aluminum mounting post snapped right where the ball goes into the back of the mirror. You can see a pockets of air in the cracked area (manufacturing defects).

The last time (last fall I think) I was under warranty and Nissan replaced the $800.00 mirror. Now I'm out of warranty. What can I do? Is there a limited warranty on the reinstalled part from Nissan? Can I order just the mounting portion for the mirror?


I am ready to trade for a base model mirror and some cash if somone else wants to fix it. Any takers?

You mean as in my crossover point? I'm at about 60Hz at amp. Memphis 16-ST1000D- 1OHM @ 1100W RMS and Rockford P3 12's in a sealed enclosure.

To think I was about to upgrade to 2 of the RF Power Series and add in my other 16-ST1000D and an alternator. Not so much now- I'm scared of spiderwebbing my rear window.

i was making a very general comment that you bass is to much , nothing specific

truthfully my front wipers jump off my glass and my reaview has always remained in tact

to add in WPB FL it gets 95 degress

you have a defective rear view assembly

you can't be making the pressure i make

that being said if yours falls and my don't you have a defect

your out of warranty , for $800 , i would just remove factory unit assenbly , purchase an aftermarket assembly and install myself

sorry about your trouble

Here are the parts to the mirror.

BTW, the OEM mirror is made by Gentex. You can check ebay or other sources to see if you can find a replacement mirror or replacement parts.

Imagine the damage they're doing to your ears. Nissan can't swap them out for a mere $800. I'd gladly pay $800, $8,000, or even $80,000 to undo the damage done to my ears. Fortunately it was done on the flight deck and reactor compartments of a US aircraft carrier and not in the car.

You get one set of ears to destroy so choose your song carefully.

+1. Lost a lot of hearing in my left ear from a pair of Koss Pro AA's pounding 70's and 80's rock into 'em. I don't need anymore bass than my 10" sub can produce (even though it's mainly the high frequencies that do the most damage).

Thanks, I PM'd him earlier about parts...

Awesome thanks.... If I can find a replacement mounting post, I'll fix this one, sell it, and buy the Base mirror. What do you guys think is a fair asking price for a Homelink in good condition?

I wear hearing protection (just squeeze in plugs) when I feel like cranking it. I know it sounds like BS, but I've been doing that since the mid-90's when my Soundstream SPL 12's came with a little keychain that had earplugs in them. My hearing is perfect-just had it tested for work a couple weeks ago. Thanks for the advice though.

Ask for $ 450.00 obo

Nice... Considering I don't even use it. You guys realize that the inside circuitry is old *** through hole components that you could probaly draw a schematic for, build on a breadboard, and drop in a wireless module and accomplish the same thing? About 20-30 dollars in parts. Hell, you could disassembly your garge door opener and retrofit it in the huge mirror housing...

That is so true....my wifey has a Highlander and the drivers side sun visor has a Homelink built into it. The flap doesn't stay in any position except up. The tension is lost on the hinge. Toyota wants $ 650.00 for a sun visor.

I think I will hold off.

You beat me to it. When I saw the title to this thread, that was the first thing I thought of. Ears, nervous system, bones, etc.

As a rock fan from the 60/70/80s, I can attest to the damage from loud music. I still chuckle when a car passes by on a street with it boomin' and vibratin'. I know exactly what the owner has to look forward to ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus

when you want to shatter that rear window let me know, I have a DDD cd of the 1812 Overture where the cannons get down to 6 cycles.

^ assuming his system can play 6hz with any output.... which I doubt. Not minimizing his system, but 6hz LOUD is no easy feat.

You can't hear it
