Mirror Glass ££ WTF!!
2
The wife phoned me to say that a van had hit the drivers wing mirror on a narrow lane and the glass was all busted up. The glass and holder was hanging out by 2 wires, so she managed to find a lay-by and pop it back in, unfortunately the shorter black wires had disconnected and it was too dark for her to fix them.
We enquired about replacement glass with VX ..Some mis-communication meanthe quoted me for the Door Glass which was a reasonable £92.
"Ah no mate, I meant wing mirror glass" says I ..
"That's £240!" WTF!!!

That small bit of glass is over twice as much as a frickin' window!!!!

B***ks to that! I think we can do without the anti-chromatic, auto-dim coating. So a trip to the 'Wing Mirror Man' store online sees me getting a replacement complete with heated baseplatefor £35.
Be careful with your wing mirrors people! Press the button and put them in when on narrow lanes!

Over the years my failing memory has meant I have driven into my garage without remembering to fold the mirrors on several occassions. It has cost me a pretty penny in repair costs, especially if the glass breaks. I can't help but think VX has failed its customers by not making the folding mirrors fold automatically whenever an obstruction is detected.
