Hi Folks.

My wife had some bozo in a cube van tear her 2010 H3's mirror off this mornign in traffic. Of course, it's not his fault so it's going to be an insurance fight.

With the odds at 50-50 of loosing the battle, I'm looking at fixing it and swallowing the costs. (If she looses, it means a deductible and of course, increased fees...)

Are there any good places to pick up a used mirror, complete.

I see this place: http://www.theautochannel.com/autopa...or_mirror.html

Anybody have any luck with them?

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time to mess with it, because she'll get a ticket for not having a drivers side mirror.

Thanks.

 

She prolly wont get a ticket for not having a ds-mirror. I know in NY you need "a minimum of two rearward facing mirrors"... so as long as the pass side is on you SHOULD be fine.

But contact thebroken; he sells discount oem HUMMER parts.

 

Might also try Ebay, see them on there alot.

@ 85 305 I'm going to try to do this w/ out bashing but you REALLY need to check your facts if your going help anyone so before we start quoting state law we might want to actually read it.

10-a. It shall be unlawful after July first, nineteen hundred
sixty-seven to operate on any public highway in this state any motor
vehicle registered in this state, manufactured or assembled on or after
such date, and designated as a nineteen hundred sixty-eight or later
model, unless such vehicle is equipped with an adjustable side view
mirror which shall be affixed to the left outside of such vehicle and
which shall be adjustable so that the operator of such vehicle may have
a clear view of the road and condition of traffic on the left side and
to the rear of such vehicle.

also states you need an inside rearview mirror, NY like several others require drivers side & inside rearview mirrors, the passenger side is optional. Now would you actually get a ticket for it is another matter but you can be stopped for it.

 

oh boy

 

Hey I've been known to be wrong. But a trooper told me as long as there are a total of 2 mirrors facing the rear you will be fine.

 

Oh boy!

 

There are quite a few on Ebay!

As long as you feel confident in removing the Drivers Door Panel the swap is very simple and stright forward. A 1 or 2 beer job at the most.


PS: NOW HE IS GIVING LEGAL ADVICE! I met this cop once and he said .............. he also has a lifted F150 and he said .................

Thanks for all the assistance, guys.

This says nothing about NEEDING a ds mirror.

 

I suppose on could defend them self in a court of law by just turning the picture of the car in front of the judge around so the front of the car was facing them and say see, left side. But most reasonable people would read that and think thats the drivers side. Section 10 in the last 10 or so words of that lengthy post.
