Re: A potentially expensive mishap.....

Yeah, I'm thinking on it.....

I also found a set of 2 (although I only need one) for $245 on Ebay...not bad, if I could sell the other for $150 or something to make back a bit of the cost.

That said, my wife called our auto insurer on this and they said we could get it done under insurance for a $300 deductible, which is a good deal.
However, I would want to make sure it didn't have any impact on my insurance record in upping my rates, etc.

I removed the broken mirror unit this morning...that is one complicated internal mechanism. Looks like something you find in aircraft landing gear....lol
noting that I was considering just re-engineering it and having the parts made locally at one of the shops I use...but that is now pretty unlikely given the complexity of the broken connection.

.....there's going to be more to this saga, lol.
