I buy Permatex Plastic Welder, comes in black, hardens like a rock in 10 min, can be sanded, drilled and filed.

[@rebeltaz123]

Not sure I believe that a repair shop was involved here, but... I've been doing something similar to the second part (heating a wire) fixing parts in my shop, but there is a cheap tool you can get (along with pre-bent metal "staples") that does the same thing. Then I cut plastic off a spar part and use a soldering gun with a flat tip to melt the plastic together. That trick DOES work GREAT! I've never tried baking soda and super glue, but the end results looks like what I used to get decades ago with a product called "Plas-T-Pair" - basically a plastic-like two part epoxy. I'll have to try that. The acetone and ABS trick.... not bad. I've done similar for repairs, but never thought to inject it through a syringe. I expected to come here mocking what I thought would be another BS "hack" video. I was pleasantly surprised :)

[@Munakas-wq3gp]

This looks so labor intensive that buying a new plastic part would probably be half the cost...

[@rebeltaz123]

@@Munakas-wq3gpNot necessarily. Sometimes parts are not available. When they are, sometimes, the price is ridiculous. With the heat gun tool, though, it's no where near as labor intensive.

[@Munakas-wq3gp]

@@rebeltaz123Repair shops here charge 150 bucks an hour. A piece of plastic is not worth it...

[@rebeltaz123]

@@Munakas-wq3gp I don't think dealers (the ones charging $150 an hour) are going to be doing this. This is a technique that backyard mechanics and us small repair shops can and do use. Not every problem is solved by throwing money at it. Sometimes, we have more time than we have money.

[@jamskinner]

Why not start with the putty first?

I was truly impressed by this video! The detailed explanation and step-by-step guide on how to fix damaged car mirrors were incredibly helpful. It’s amazing how such simple techniques can save so much money and reduce waste. The video quality was excellent, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I appreciate the practical tips and tricks shared. This will definitely help a lot of people, especially those who want to avoid expensive repair costs. Great job on sharing this valuable information!

[@stevenbrooke7558]

this will work for a home repair on your own car, but usually those covers are pretty cheap and not worth fixing. Besides that most body shops seem to only ever want to replace parts anyway.

[@talon1706]

Lol. They are not cheap.

[@gwcrispi]

That cover is probably less than $20. All of the crap he used costs more than that.

[@Baze696]

Buy a New cap for 20$ and switch it, takes 2min. Repairing takes more time and more tools.

[@rodnyg7952]

he taught this to the car body shop near him, and for some reason he also knows what their annual profits are .... very convincing

There is a flat spot on the mirror repair ,where the hole was, because of hand sanding and not using a block 😊

[@Repairman10169]

😊😊

[@imacrazy6872]

A block would have made it more out of round. Using hand sanding on round surfaces is always better than a block.

[@johnnydingo8680]

Only if you don't follow the shape with the block. The hand will push the sandpaper into any hollows and make them bigger.. @@imacrazy6872

[@johnnydingo8680]

It's always about technique. Clearly the person in the video didn't use the right technique, so there is a flat spot as can be seen in the video. Anyone working on cars trying to get a mirror finish will tell you the block method is better if used correctly @@imacrazy6872

[@tonycavez]

not only that , he only sanded one way, the part is curved he should have sanded front the top to bottom following the curve also the polyester filler was too dry and he couldn't spread it right , left pin holes in the repair i could see the repair , he should have primed it then smooth it again before painting , i do these repairs all the time , been an autobody tech for 50 years

I guess the body shop guy only charges $1 an hour for their time. All will just replace the mirror due to their hourly charge.

[@veredictum4503]

Yes that's the problem with "western" countries, where the high labour costs forces us to throw, rather than repair, because repairs cost more! (And then these same "western" countries then jump up & down about "climate change" and pollution!).

[@Adrian_Nel]

@achristian7015 Also, "the body shop" needs profitable customers (a viable stream of work) as a starting point. You can't get those at Dollar General.

[@tonycavez]

a chinese knockoff mirror is affordable , now try replacing mirrors four or five hundred plus , like have many times in my 50 years as an autobody man , yeah i have repaired many myself and still make good money

[@NoName-zi9qs]

A body shop is not stupid enough to charge $200 for labour to replace a $20 part.

[@johnle231]

How about $500 labor to replace fork seals

[@gsc512]

Yes, that's an hour of time to replace the mirror cover. They usually flat rate the first hour. However, I think this would only work if you were doing the work because they would charge you additional time that they have to do the sanding and stuff on a project like this.

[@perjian1697]

@noname you fail to realize this is other country ways. Try learning how other markets function.

[@wasntme3651]

Actual body shops in the civilized world have pro-grade epoxies to fix stuff like this in minutes without all the time-consuming dicking around, and it's still only profitable if decent-quality used parts aren't available locally. For cheap guys who have more time than money however...you can still do it WAY quicker using pro-grade epoxy and fiberglass mat.
