Hello.

So, long story short:

I was backing out of the garage today and totally totalled the little mirror thing that sticks out ... side view mirror thing on the right side of my car. The mirror is gone, it's hanging by like a wire and some plastic rim rods. So do any of you guys know how much this is going to cost me? I'm guessing there going to have to re-circuit it and everything...Is this bad?


Peace.

2007 toyota camry.

and, oh boy, that's a lot .... my bad.

yea those mirrors cost a lot... shop around.. different shops will give u different prices.

[aznfishyfart]

is the actualy glass mirror broken?
if so its gonna cost a lot more...
the passenger mirror has a slighly curved mirror so that stuff looks closer (as it says on the mirror lol)
if you are desperate u can go to the dealership....it will be over 300$ installed (im gonna say 500 sounds about right)
if you can wait a bit you can do some shopping online or i can give u some websites so buy the part

[onlycpics]

you can do that? buy parts online?!

i never knew this.

The dealer quoted my friend's Hyundai Sonata about $500+. He still drives around without a right side mirror and it has been over a year.

Could you try and get a pic? I don't think you're going to need to re-wire anything since you said it's hanging on by the harness. What you could do is go to a salvage yard and try to pick one up and paint it to match the color of the car yourself if you know how to sand/wet sand.

Wow we posted at the exact same time.

You can buy parts online and have a shop do it, but you have to make sure you buy the right parts and also make sure you don't buy a part you don't need.

by an aftermarket piece and have it installed for less. unless you want everything OEM, then get the lube ready

[aznfishyfart]

try ebay lol
the places i get parts dont have many body replacement parts

if theres still a clip at the end of the wires that will make the total cost much less...
the thing that will cost you the most is the actual mirror
try a junk yard and look for a camry with the same color as yours
might be easier than it seems since its such a popular car

[onlycpics]

sorry, can't get a pic...i'm kind of banned from touching the car for .. a while.



...but i don't want to do it by myself.

it's a waste of money to send the car to the shop?

[boost]

yea... best bet is checking the wreck yard.

OP should google rancho cordova's wreck yard for a toyota recylcer. its one of the biggest in the country. they all ship too

you could check out car-part.com, I just put in your info and they had some for as high as 200 and low as 50ish.
Well if you know how to do it yourself, you're saving a lot of money, but if you don't know how to prep and paint, then your only option is going to the shop.

Yeah... I think I'm going to the shop...
jeesh, of all the things i could break; i broke the mirror... this is complicated.

^ is the side mirrors heated or non heated? Because one is going to be more expensive to the other.

what do you mean? they come heated? crap.... that's going to be more expensive to fix isn't it.

[Stevent]

Well, it's an optional feature that some cars have. And I just looked up some specs for the camry and it said it's a standard feature...So I don't know whether you have that feature or not. And yeah, it's going to cost a bit more for the heated mirrors.

[onlycpics]

i'm screwed.

but it would be kinda hard to find a 07 part in a junk yard...
