I scratched the plastic part of my side mirror got a little too close to the damn wall when I was parking the car, any suggestions on how I can fix this? Dealer told me if I want they will replace the whole thing for 150...that's too steep! I have pics but I dont know how to post them here

Hey Gracey I am not sure how to post pics either hopefully someone will be able to tell you how anyways with the mirror it is plastic so from what I know I dont think you can repair it try the detailing Forum on this site someone may be able to help you more hey just a tip never WAX your plastic as you cant get the dang WAX off

Wow, your just having a tough time huh? Firs the friend spills stuff in the new Yaris (it was you right) and now this! Humm, could it be Karma? Like Stuts says you really can't "fix" it but you may be able to reduce the scratches by wet and dry sand paper its really fine sand paper not the kind you envisioned thats really rough, of course don't go overboard...but if your not sure of this ask someone at a hardware store or auto parts store...otherwise you could go to a junk yard and get one but then again you have a new car and I highly doubt (at this point in time) there would be Yaris part...look on e-bay maybe...is it really noticable or is it just scuff marks? Good luck and sorry to hear about it!!

gracey gracey gracey,,, YOU are having a run of bad luck first the sea food now the mirror I can feel your pain ANYWAY good luck with that. If you want to post pics here is what I did go to www.webshots.com and create a user account. then add pics and it is really easy. Then copy the link from address bar and use that in the HTTP area when adding pics on the site. That is the only way I know and I am sure there is an easier way but it's not that bad.
