| This is the second time i've had to replace the mirror on the drivers side of this car. the mirror breaks off of the controls which makes it flop around. you can't use it to drive with, nor can you get it to stay still. you can't replace just the mirror either. you have to buy the whole piece (casing and mirror) then you have to have it painted. grrrrrrrrrr! | |||
