This might be too exciting for this community, so trigger warning.
Last weekend I backed out of my garage haphazardly, and hit the side mirror on the garage frame. It bent the whole mirror forward and, even with my full body weight, would not go back into place. I took my car to a body shop and they said they would have to take the whole door apart and install a new mirror. Total estimate: $3900.
Figuring I had nothing to lose, I watched a YouTube video on how to take the mirror unit apart, which I did. I found the impingement that was blocking its movement, and pounded it with a flathead screwdriver and hammer until it popped back. Put the mirror housing back together, works good as new! Only one extra screw when I was done. I think I’ll get the large fries to reward myself.
I hit a moose with my pickup in the fall, and had to take the door off to straighten it. I removed the inside trim, put it on some railway ties and pressed down with the tractor loader bucker in the middle, it seemed to line up when I put it back on. Kicked some dents back out from the inside. Put a new mirror and door handle on it. Keeps out the wind.
