If it's just the glass just go cut a new one in, you don't need to change it completely

Don't advise someone to cut glass for a mirror. It is a safety device and not an ornament.

Bro, do NOT cut glass in place of factory mirror. Side Mirrors glass are convex in shape and have been treated specially to absorb some lights while normal plain mirrors have flat surface and are not treated.

Side mirrors are there to see things clearly both in day and nigh, and some are anti glare and due to their curve surface are made to capture wide areas which may easily be blind spots for the driver while the opposite occurs for plain mirrors.


Your car's side mirror glass cost no more than 10,000 on the average and gives you safety and ease in driving.

Well there are those that do it professionally and they know the appropriate glass to use. I didn't mean that he does it himself

There's nothing as professionally or non professionally.

Don't advice him to cut corners in matters of vehicular safety.

I still repeat as a professional in automotive business, there's no such replacement at least for such in Nigeria. He should buy a replacement glass from sellers of car parts.

Salutations to all auto gurus here.

What could cause the transmission of a car to get stucked on Park (P)? It doesn't shift to others just P, it also affected the power windows, doors and instruments cluster indicators but the car starts and engine runs.

The car in question is Sienna 04.

I know we've got lots of experts and gurus here whose advice and submissions have yielded positive results and solved automobile related problems as well.

Thanks

Wow! I opened the fuse box (whatever it's called) and saw a melted/burnt flex wire. It seems the wire was used to replace the original fuse.

No previous job(s) on the car that I know of unless done before shipping. It was shipped to Nigeria recently.

Thank you so much.
