The other day when pulling into my garage (note that I have been parking in a garage for 3 years) for some reason i wasnt paying full attention and heard this loud CRUNCH/SCRAPE noise. Make a long story short...i hit my passenger side mirror on the garage rail 
So i got out and looked at it and it wasnt bad just a little scraped up...all the way down the fiberglass LOL (if thats what the mirror's made out of). So i figured yeah this sucks, but no biggie. So later on, my friend pointed out to me that the the mirror was actually pulled back and i also couldnt open my passenger side window. So now i was a little more concered. Anyways... brought it to get an estimate and he told me toyota sells their mirrors already painted and ready to put on so it would be $180 plus labor. OK. Brought it to get done, he took the old mirror off, had to bang out (well, bang in) where the mirror bolts go through because it was all outta wack, and then hadto adjust the rail of the window because i pinched the mirror so tightly against the window it "bent" the window rail. Any-who...i was charged $180 for the mirror and $25 for labor...i thought it was a pretty fair deal (he worked on it for about 45min)
~Just felt like sharing a story that doesnt have to deal with Left-Drift and Rattle
