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.

Ask for $ 450.00 obo

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.

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
