Mirror snapped!!! Help

[gonzo221]

So I took my girls titanium to the car wash and wile they'r eprewashing it the passenger side window snaps off from the hinge!!!! (hand) So now my question to you is, can I just replace the bracket inside that snapped or is it only sold as an entire assembly?!?!?!? ANd would this be covered under warranty? I mean the damn thing shouldn't have broken that easily. It's designed to flip up against the window when you push it from the outside not break off! (boom01)
Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated. I'm new here, been lurking a while though. Thanks guys.

the car wash should pay you damaage (if its an automatic car wash)

they paid me after the wash ripped off my antenna on my nissan.

Yeah, if the car wash people broke it they should pay for it.

Yeah the manager was cool. He said he'd pay for it all. I'm mainly concerned with being able to get the part instead of replacing the entire assembly. Cause then I would have to go through the trouble of getting it painted and all.

You gotta replace the WHOLE mirror...and get it repainted! Mine got kicked off by some evil prick and although only the little bracket was broken, you have to order a new mirror. I tried epoxy and it would'nt hold. I have a Titanium too and they only have yellow, blue and sunlight silver mirrors left, because most protoge parts are discontinued. The mirror took forever to come in and the whoel ordeal cost me over 300 frickin' bucks. I hope the asshole who kicked off my mirror gets hit with a bus full of ninjas.

NEVER run your MSP through a car wash. It can easily get damaged by the machinery & the stuff they use can hurt your paint or ruin the finish on your wheels. With the Mr. Clean Auto Dry car wash kit I bought, washing it myself is now a breeze. (thumb)

the MSP owners manual tells you specificaly NOT to use automatic car washes....if you need an entire mirror assembly contact "LAMP3"...he has a pair for sale.

if the car wash doesnt pay for it then Mazda should... things shouldn't just break like that... tell them it just broke.

Well, I just bought the mirror assembly at crystal auto mall in Greenbrook. 155. after taxes. And it comes painted!!!!!!! The question now is how hard it is to put on yourself. Is it do-able? Are any special tools needed? And on a side note they had a brand new titanium msp for 16,800 with 0% financing!!!!! incredible deal.

Why did you pay for it?

I didn't. It was payed for by the owner of the car wash. And then some. He gave me 240 for my trouble.
