Question
my question is , i was backing out of my garage and was not paying attention like a dummy and completely tore my driver side mirror off, i took off the door panel and disconnected the busted up mirror so it wouldnt dangle their , but soon realized that another replacement part is not going to line up properly, due to the fact that it completely tore the bolts out all together and the bracket part is bowed out , so how due i pound it back in so it lines up better without causing more damage.  any help would be great , due to the fact that iam not very car fix friendly

Answer
Mike, unfortunately it sounds like from what your describing to me you are going to need to take it to a auto body repair shop. This type of repair would be difficult for someone with out about body repair knowledge, sorry I cant help you with this type of accident. Thanks Laren
