Auto body repair & detailing/2005 Town and Country Van Broken MIrror

Expert: William Forster - 4/13/2007


Question
My van was vandelized last weekend and a rock was thrown at my passenger side mirror.  The mirror broke, but frame holding the mirror is fine.  Can just the mirror be replaced? or do I have to replace that entire frame on the passenger side that holds the mirror?

Answer
As long as the assembly inside the housing is intact, the mirror may be abl e to be replaced, either with a replacemen glass from Chrysler, or a local auto glass company may be able to cut a cheap replacement for you. It won't be one of those mirrors that show objects closer than they look, though, so your field of view will be smaller. Bill
