My 08 prius got clipped parked on the street

Buy one off ebay $43. Replace it yourself. 3 bolts after you pull off the interior cover.

The inside cover when you open the door just pulls off. 3 bolts and unplug the power cable that controls the mirror. Match up with the new one. Power cable only plugs in one way. Make sure to put on any rubber boots that come with the mirror to keep water out. If you are not sure of your own abilities then most repair places and autoshops will do it for you also. The shop that does my general auto service has done minor body work for me in the past. My door handle broke off for some reason and took a special tool (odd). They installed my part for $25. Also most parts come unpainted black. That may cost you $50.

 

Good job. Your first mod. lol.
Getting clipped. Doesn't that just frost your cookie!
$400 give your baby a professional detail job take out any scratches.

 

So someone was inconsiderate enough to clip the side of the vehicle and not leave a note, but courteous enough to place the mirror ontop your car so it didnt get damaged anymore? Wth? People amaze me...

 

So they wouldn't get a flat tire running over it as they speed away.....

 

I just had an experience on July 2, 2011. a drunk driver passed out slammed into our 2010 prius knocking the car 35 yards down the road going into a neighbors yard and hitting a city light pole. Double whammy. Im worried about the trannsmission being broken since it was in park and it rolled on its own down the street after getting hit

 

More likely a pedestrian picked the mirror up and put on your car for you. Stupid hit & run drivers.

 

Also, kids on bikes are good sources of clippage. The little blighters feel terrible about it but are equally terrified of what you or their parents will do to them - thus providing another possible explanation for the gentle placement of the clipped mirror.
