Cracked side mIrror housing

[Dani_]

Hi All,

I am new to the forum. I just got my new Toyota Corolla Sedan Hybrid few weeks ago. I really like it so far, but I have run in a small problem last night. While I was parking it I hit my right side mirror, so few clips from the housing cracked. Now everything is working fine just there is very small space line between the bottom cover, the housing and the light signal part, because of the cracked clips. Any advice how to fix it? Visually it is not so much visible but I am worried that water can get inside on a rainy day and cause some more serious issue.

Maybe best to let the dealer look at it. When a car is so new, it is worth spending out a bit to keep it in top condition. Maybe in a year or so, there will be more spare parts and expertise out there to help with minor repairs. Personally, unless it was broken and I needed to get somewhere with no time to take it in for repair, I would refer to the dealer and bite the bullet re cost.
