Replacing RH Mirror / Glass 04 Corolla S

[martyfarty69]

Hi Guys

I am actually a salesperson at a Toyota Dealership, but I know nothing about fixing cars and am ( admittedly ) very non handy.
My wife decided that our local ATM lane was too narrow and jammed our 04 Corolla S into the right side, as such the mirror is damaged and I had to tape it back on with the glass and all, I want to get it replaced, firstly how easy is it, secondly how much would a replacement Mirror assembly cost, and can you get them painted as if it comes Black then i'll have to have it painted before I install it.

Or I could suck it up and pay my collision center $345 which is what they said will cost to have it replaced and fitted

this so called damage, how bad is it? is the only damage part the mirror assembly itself or the door is messed up? if it's just the mirror, ur in luck!

you get the mirrors & u remove the inside door panel & then voila!

let me kno when ur ready for the instructions, i just replaced mines for auto folding mirrors (like benz)

why not look for local junk yard first? if they don't have it, maybe try ebay, or go aftermarket. since you working at dealer, no need to tell you % on mark up

I did a quick look and found this
