    This morning I noticed the corner triangle missing next to the passenger side mirror. I googled and ordered this part and it'll arrive in a week:


    Meanwhile, is it OK if it's exposed to the rainwater or should I tape it?

    Thank you.

    It'll be fine, that area is not water tight. I'd make sure the drain holes at the bottom of the door is clear, so any water that gets in there will be able to drain out.

    Ya, sorry - upper rear corner of the fender. Same applies, make sure there's a clear water drain path, so it doesn't puddle back there.
