Answer 1

Why would the mirror be under warrenty?     Your poor driving broke it,  not anything the manufacturer did!    

Take it in and pay for the mirror.     Call your insurance if it costs a lot,  but most likely will be better you don't give them a reason to raise your rates.

Answer 2

Will your insurance pay for it?  Depends on what type of insurance you have.  Most people have a deductible for collision damage.  If your deductible is $500, then they will not pay for the first $500, which is the case with your mirror.

Do you have to call the police?  Depends on your state's motor vehicle rules.  Some states you don't have to notify the police if the damage is below a certain amount, let's say $250.  Some states you don't have to notify the police if there is no damage to someone else's property.

Answer 3

Just go to your local body shop and they will fix this for you, using a body will be better because they will use body shop rates and no this is not under warranty.........and as for calling your insurance company, get an estimate first, then decide.

Answer 4

Yeah, you should have reported it.....it was your fault so I don't believe you're going to get it paid for. Get a quote and find out if it's still under warranty.

Answer 5

what do you do? you pay for it to get repaired. no doubt insurance will cover it, shame tho
