Well my uncle mazda 3 was behind my garage so I squeezed in and then I did a reverse to make my car straight and it was too late when I saw that my left side mirror had made a cracking noise. I went to the dealer and they said that they will have to charge me 41.20 for labor and that guy said it shouldn't take too long b/c all he has to do is snap it back on. Also $70 for the part so alltogether its around $120!! I got some pics too it doesn't look too bad it's just the top part is loose. Is it easy to put on a replacement mirror if so I won't have to pay the 42 labor fee.

A 42$ labor fee scares you? I would hate to see the horror on your face when you get your monthly payment bills.

Maybe you should watch a little more closely where you are going...just a suggestion

wow I didn't know it was that easy 40 dollars for that. No if it's easy to replace it then there's no point for me to spend 40 for it.

wow....good thing my FA5 mirrors can fold

Mirrors are really easy to replace, take off your interior trim panel, remove the 3-4 nuts (usually 10mm, sometimes 8mm), disconnect wiring, slap new mirror on. Should take about 10 minutes provided you know how to get an interior trim panel off.

Some ******* hit my mirror while i was in school like a month ago. I payed the 70 bucks and put it on myself, it's pretty easy and straight forward

Easy for you to say when you know the right steps. If he screws up the clips on the panel or doesnt know how to remove them from the door when they dont come off with the panel then he'll have a half hung door panel and a **** load of rattling. I'm not saying hes not capable, all i'm sayiong is it's not for everyone.


This is where a big percentage of rattles come from in cars. People that dont know how to remove things wind up breaking, cracking , scratching.....blah blah blah. Pay the $40 bucks if you are not 100% sure you can do it.
