Vandalized! Help!

Had my CL vandalized by some drunk(s). Here's the damage:






It looks like the piece inside is the only thing that's cracked - has anyone done a fix on something like this?

Actually the mirror itself is in one piece - the housing is what seems to have taken the brunt of the damage.

That really sucks. Guess the vandalism bug is going around, as someone thought it'd be hillarious to steal one center cap and dish from my uber rare wheels last week.

Fortunately for you, you can easily go on ebay and just get a new or used entire passenger mirror assembly

You could probably fix that crack easily with some abs cement or jb weld if you still have all the pieces

you can try the junk yards. its really not hard to take off. you can probably take it out with some flat nosed pliers if you needed to.

What i'm saying, is since the housing is toast, you probably will need to get a whole new mirror
