My mirror

Quote:

Same kind of thing happened to me on my drive home this summer. I was driving past a semi and heard what sounded like something exploding. Everything seemed fine until I realized my folding mirror was 1/2 folded in. When I stopped for gas I noticed the entire plastic cover had been broken off. The plastic where it mounts is broken and cracked but the mirror still works. Dealer wants $215 unpainted. I'm going to call USAA and see if they cover this like they do windshields.

Not exactly sure what, but it made a really loud exploding sound and everything looked fine until I stopped for gas and looked. It is still completely functional, just really ugly. Hopefully the insurance will cover it. Otherwise it will be ugly for a very long time.

check your door seals

just to be sure.. something hitting the mirror that hard can warp the door alittle and the door seal may give you extra wind noise. I saw that happen, but the mirror was hit from behind, so you might be ok.
