Default Does this look fixable? ( Pictures )

This is my side mirror, knocked off when my car rolled down my drive way!

i was in the house and i forgot to put it in gear, and i guess my e brake doesnt work great! when it finally smacked into my sisters car( didnt do **** to her car at all ) the e brake was up still!

anyway, does this look fixable? i really dont want to buy a new one.

Wait a sec, I remember reading about this awhile back. That was you? LoL. I never made the conenction before. I haven't looked at the pics in this post yet, but I remember looking at the originals and it looked more like you hit her doing 50 instead of the car rolling into her.

Just checked it out... you may be much better off hitting a junkyard and getting one from there. They're real cheap and it shouldn't be hard finding a black one for an SN95. I know for a fact a JY I was just at up here had a black SN95. It was in ROUGH shape. Tires all slashed, leather seats all cut up. Every single panel scratched to hell. Ragtop shreaded. Dents EVERYWHERE!

Turns out that the owner's neighbor was pissed at him and trashed his car. Problem was they didn't have enough evidence to get teh conviction so the insurance company just paid him for it. Imagine how bad the damage had to be in order for it to be totaled! LoL

You have to get a new one. Its just 3 bolts and a connector to replace it.

you could do what i call "plastic welding". take a propane torch or something equivalent and heat the tip of a screwdriver until it turns red. then quickly, but GENTLY, touch the plastic that has snapped, on both pieces, and quickly stick them together. this method is not as strong as original, but will hold for a few weeks, or until you hit a nice big pothole.
