replace side mirror

puZZle

my friend's accord's (about 3 years old) right side mirror is broken in a small accident

around how much and how long will it take to replace it?

字典仔

shouldn't take too long, guessing about an hour is the usual time that takes to do it; assume where it is mounted is not damaged...

mirror itself varies a bit, depends if it's heated etc, usually from $2xx to $3xx...comes colored (so might be better than used mirror, wrecker won't sell for too cheap unless the door is damage or else they rather sell the whole door assy for better money)

thanks!!!

Personal experience, $220 for a power non coloured Civic Side mirror from dealer, got it for $120 at wrecker.  15 mins to pop the cover and 3 nuts ...

new accord as i remember trim panel has to come off to unplug the mirror...diff than ur civic man

also non coloured mirror are always cheaper cuz if u get it new "aftermarket" (unpainted), it's going to be about $150 or less? manual mirror could be as low as $50 (depends on model but i am sure there is sth even cheaper) new...
