EDIT: I just noticed I posted this in the wrong forum... oops. Can you please move to Mk6 forum?
So I did something pretty dumb over the weekend and clipped a car a little closer than I should have...needless to say instead of the passenger side mirror on my 2010 Golf folding back, it broke off...::facepalm:: The mirror was still attached to the car via the electrical cable, but it seems the main metal support which mounts to the car broke in half.
So I called the dealer today and they gave me a rough estimate of total $600, $255 for the part. I know the mirror is pretty complicated piece of work with the light and everything, but this seems pretty steep.
I feel like I could probably use some serious metal bonding agent to stick the two pieces back together, but I'm a little worried where the piece fits back under the top seal of the passenger side door won't be tight enough to sufficiently keep water out of the door/hinge area.
Any suggestions for a cheaper repair? Right now I feel like I'm just looking at a $600 lesson in driving... =/ live and learn (to drive a car):ugh
