In happier news, the same garage door broke yesterday. Looked like a metal line/spring.

I still think, unless they're painting this, you should be able to handle it yourself. *

I was *really* hoping so, but no. The mirror still folds and the lights all still work

I dunno...this seems like something you could do yourself. Just buy a new mirror and try. *

You could buy the mirror for $200 and do it yourself. Changing side mirrors is easy*

You can get the mirror as low as around $110. The dealer is ripping him off.*
