Wing mirror problems
-
hi all
i am new to this site after buying a mx3 v6, 2 weeks ago.
since then some git has kicked in my passenger wing mirror. there is a small crack under the plastic body, which im not too worried about. the problem is that the glass has shattered. i went to mazda and ordered another mirror. when it arrived they had sent me only a piece of mirror, without the black plastic trim. so i salvaged my old bit of plastic and tried to fit the mirror in to it. this was realy difficult and i snapped the mirror.
what else can i do apart from buying another mirror from mazda and smashing another one? (cant find them anyware else) at £12 a time its not cheep!
also how long has this forum been running, because there isnt many users?

That sucks. Other than phoning round auto breakers in Portsmouth (try and find one that specializes in Jap cars) and finding a replacement unit the only other thing I could suggest is keeping an eye on Ebay ( you get a few MX3's on there breaking for spares) or you could get a set of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/92-95-Mazda-MX3-Electric-Door-M3-GEN2-LED-Side-Mirrors_W0QQitemZ140042051520QQihZ004QQcategoryZ36682QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem :D . On a lighter note think yourselfr lucky they were only £12 each. I once knackered my rev counter, petrol gauge and oil gauge trying to fit my white dial set and Mazda said a replacement OEM one would cost me £1500 :shock: (ended up getting one for £70 from a scrap yard :D )
