Side Mirror - Toyota Corolla 2005 Sedan

[crankshaft]

Hi all, The passenger side mirror of my Toyota Corolla (2005 Sedan) got damaged while I was reversing my car in a parking lot (It was around 0200 am and I was tired like hell). The damage was realised soon and I applied the brake instantly. But the mirror glass is broken and the black plastic casing around the glass has also got damaged (find attached). The housing/motor are all intact. A quote from the smash repairer is $500+ (Apparently he is planning to get the whole unit replaced by Toyota OEM part)

I checked the archive and found few posts. But could not find any reference to a repairer in Sydney who will be able to fix it for a reasonable amount. Appreciate your inputs. I live in Parramatta.

i've had the same incident happen to my first car and you might as well replace the whole side mirror.. easy to remove with just 3x 10mm screws behind the cover..

your best bet would be to call or go to King Street Wreckers and see if they have the same mirror in your colour otherwise buy from http://www.ozeparts.com/ and have it painted to match

Mate you could almost defiantely source a whole side mirror replacment from a wrecker, possibly even in the same colour!!!

and i doubt it would even cost half that....

Thanks Mates. Will try the wreckers first and if nothing works out will go for the OEM part.

Managed to have this fixed through Roche Motor Wrecking (Phone : 96663217) for $198. There were few others who responded with the similar quote (Big John's Auto Wreckers : 46284322 and Honda Auto Spares : 96435049/0401624929)

Sites http://www.autorepairers.com.au and http://www.1300wrecker.com.au were useful in finding these sources. www.ozeparts.com.au confirmed that they don't have this replacement. Thanks YURO and moz for your replies.
