Side view mirror

[RalphReuter]

I have a 2015 RAM 2500, with chrome power folding towing mirrors. I recently had some jerk cross the double line and he smashed the drivers side mirror. He kept going, and by the time I stopped and turned around he was gone. Long story short I am trying to get a replacement mirror, No luck at Gino’s, Rock Auto had every combination except mine! Anyone replace their mirror? Any suggestions? I know dealer, but trying to avoid their prices! Thanks!

I have pals who've had good luck with 1A Auto (www.1aauto.com) but I don't know if they sell singles or have your exact configuration.

I filled a claim with my INS CO. State Farm. At the time the mirror was $200 and the installation labor was $200. so, the total was $400. You do carry uninsured drivers don’t you? This was the only claim I have made against this truck in 13 years, and my policy cost never went up.

Just a suggestion to consider!

Your insurance should cover an OE setup without causing your rates to go up. Don’t put junk on your truck.

X2 on both, the insurance will cover it and most dont count it against you... Kinda like a deer!

Without a villain (the other driver) I'm guessing any claim made would be against the collision policy. My collision deductible is $500 so a claim of $400 would only count as a black mark on my record. I suggest you hit the online recyclers like https://www.junkyarddog.com/

Not necessarily this depends on how your policy is structured by the insurance company. When I called my agent, he put this against the comprehensive part of my policy since no other damage was done. I payed nothing. Just like when I broke my rear window on my 2001, Chevy SB truck backing up my trailer. This too was placed against the comprehensive part of my policy, no deductible either. But on a side note I have been with STATE FARM for over 40 years with the same agent.

A guy clipped the mirror on the Bay Bridge on my wife's 200 a couple months ago. He did stop (finally) and gave me his insurance info. I made a claim against him on his Geico policy. It is still going on. The estimate was $233 for a used mirror and paint to match/install. I had already purchased a new Mopar mirror for $302 because it took Geico 10 days to respond, and another week to inspect. Now they want me to accept the $233 and go to any body shop for a supplemental quote for the new mirror.
Their commercials may say one thing, but from this experience I would never use them for anything.

Simply contact YOUR Insurance Company. I have been surprised both ways. Ya don’t know til ya know!!!

Thank You all for your comments. I went to my local RAM dealer, $1,035 plus tax from them! One last try, Amazon, dealer replacement for $235! It fits perfectly, matching the OEM exactly! Last place I would have looked for something like this! I am very pleased with it!
