Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

Correction: Driver side mirror fell off this morning.. what the ...... apologies.. my phone auto corrected So I guess there is a first for everything... I have never had this happen, I took a spirited left turn over some bumpy roads today and my drive side mirror fell off... I didnt see it falling off, one second it was there, the other it was gone... (only the glass portion fell off) Anyone know if it is possible to replace just the mirror? Please share an online source if you know of any.. Thank you

POST 2Original post

I know for a fact that many other brands are selling just the mirror and it is significantly cheaper than the entire assembly. Most likely the same with Porsche . The mirror is just glued. This things happen, don't worry too much. Age, climate, how the car was kept... All this matters. Not a big deal... Keep driving and who needs rear view mirror anyway

POST 3Original post

That looks fine to me. That's what I see in the rear vision mirror most of the time. Don't even bother...

POST 4Original post

An auto-dimming mirror will likely be much more difficult and costly to repair/replace. Is it a regular mirror or auto-dimming?

POST 5Original post

Correction : Upon further inspection during the day, turns out it didn't fall off, it went full smoke and has visible cracks through it. The fay its fogged tells me I have the auto-dimming version and it either cracked or fused or shorted. Any ideas ?

POST 6Original post

If your're going towards replacing the mirror, PM me and I may be able to get a good price for it. Let me know.

POST 7Original post

I am not sure what would cause the mirror to crack and fog up like that. If it is heated maybe the heating element shorted and the whole thing got hot or the auto dimming function had a problem. Here is an example of a link for parts if you want to put it back to OEM. Not cheap depending on what kind of mirror you have. Outside rear view mirror parts link. There are probably many more sources than this and different prices. Here is a photo of the position the mirror has to be in in order to separate the mirror glass from the motor (items 4 and 5 ) in the above parts link.

POST 9Original post

That picture looks like the mirror fell off. That is what it looked like on my Mini when the glass fell off.

POST 10Original post

It appears the mirrors are epoxy glued to the bases and they'll only take so many thousands of heating cycles. You could try to epoxy a replacement glass only and Rockauto.com might be the least expensive. I;ve had them fall off 928's and that's my evaluation of the substrate fastening material.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
