[@VICTORANDRADE-c9t]

where can I find a crown for my 2022 Chrysler Pacifica

[@RANDOMFIX]

I would search eBay first then call the dealership. If they dealer sells it then you will know that the crown alone is available and you can continue your online search of the dealership wants too much money.

[@mimiseeyou]

I’ve been watching KZbin videos for like a decade and I’ve never seen a 360 video here. Pretty neat thanks!

[@RANDOMFIX]

Thank you for the feedback about the 360 video. I will try shooting another 360 video in the future. I shot this 360 because I wanted people to know it not just hype as lots of KZbinrs are making up bs and damaging people’s vehicles with fake videos that have zero chance of working in the real world.

[@lisaorlando1224]

Thank you so very much! I hit a recycling bin and didn’t realize the cap had popped off. I went to Honda and the service guy said there were no broken clips, but they would charge $150 labor! So I ordered the cap-which was expensive enough-brought it home, and looked for a video. Believe me, I like it! I also ordered the glass, but I can see perfectly well with it broken, so I am saving that until it falls apart, or I decide to sell the car. I find that mirror way too easy to hit...

[@margaretsmith2463]

Great video! Easy to understand. I don’t know where you got your mirror cover because I’ve been looking day and night for a right side cover for a 2002 Honda Accord SE four door sedan and can’t find a thing. Only the whole mirror assembly I don’t need. Maybe they don’t make just the cover for the mirror. I don’t have the part number either. Thanks for the video and looking forward to seeing more.

[@RANDOMFIX]

eBay is where I got the cover for the for mirror. Search * honda accord aide view mirror cover" and the also call it a side view trim cap. Good luck and let me know who's it goes. I got my painted directly on ebay but you can get paint in a can for $17 or so that is exact color. Let me know once you find your part.

[@danseman1]

Hey, you did a really nice job in teaching this. I think I'll try removing the cover on my wife's car tomorrow. The dealer wanted $70 for the cover and $50 to swap it out. Ours has a pressure crack because she hit a trash can. Duh. It has a buckle in it but It might be repairable, if I can release the tension. Btw, if something really hot was parked next to your vehicle, that could have caused it to deform, ie: melt. Thanks again.

[@RANDOMFIX]

Dave, tthanks for the feedback. It's a easy swap and will only take you 5 minutes but don't force it and only use plastic tools like trim removal tools.

[@danseman1]

@@RANDOMFIX I fixed mine today. A few things to note: that plastic is rather flexible and if you feel for the fasteners you can shift the mating pieces by squeezing the plastic in different directions and sometimes even hear a pop when it releases. When that happens, you want to put a shim in there to keep it separated. Also, you can pull the mirror first and that way you can release the hooks on the fasteners from the inside. The mirror has 4 wrap around type connectors that pop off with a little bit of prying. You will feel them pop free. Adjust the mirror so you can peek inside to see the white plastic mounting plate. The attachments are at the 4 corners, Upper left, lower right, etc. As the vehicle gets older, the plastic will get brittle, and I doubt the dealerships will tell you when they are broken, and just reassemble it with less connections, or they will force you to purchase the entire unit, which is still unnecessary. Thank you once again for making the effort to record and post your work for others to learn. I wish I was as gifted in that area.

[@RANDOMFIX]

Wow Dave, I wish I could write like you and the way you made it clear is amazing. Thank you so much sharing I hope our information can save someone else a few dollars and time again, thank you!!

[@markdanehy]

You asked about what might have melted your mirror. If you parked next to a building with reflective glass during the day, the building can reflect and focus the sunlight, concentrating it like you would with a magnifying glass. You can feel this sometimes if you walk through a patch of light reflected from a building (that it feels warmer than it ought to). If that reflected light was shining on the side of your car, it could have partially melted the plastic on your mirror.

[@RANDOMFIX]

Hi Mark, I think you are right , after that video I was working on another car and my day I smelt my pants burning because the heat ( reflection) from window was right leg. Strange feeling

You should alway remove the mirror assembly but that’s a lot of work and some vehicles it requires removing the door panel. Look on eBay for a replacement part. If you can find the a replacement then there is a good chance your can just pop on the new cover. I don’t what is damaged on your 2010 honda to give any more accurate information. Good luck and let me know what happens.
