After 5 years of carefully backing into my garage, I finally took out the passenger side mirror

[goblues38]

Had the truck in sport mode and went to gently hit the gas, and the truck jumped and the passenger side mirror hit the house . $54 dollars from eBay and about an hour of work and she is all fixed. 2 of the 4 tabs of my mirror cap were broken, and that is $300 painted, so I did a little repair with hot glue and super glue.





The black surround is what broke. Thankfully not the mechanized mirror assembly


All the main parts of the mirror are still in great shape.

Good as new!!!

Dang I dread that! I back in like you and always hug that side just waiting to miss judge it once! Glad you got it fixed!

I bet that sounded neato.

You know you can fold your mirrors in when backing up…

Him hollering or the mirror popping?

Unsportsmanlike conduct. @goblues38

thats a 15 mile penalty, in a prius. The penalty is accepted.

I worry about this every time I pull in and out of my garage.

Of course. But I need the mirror to align the bed rail with the wall. Some times I pull it in, most times I don't.

I'll take a 25 minute repair and $54 1 x every 5 years.
