Just wanted to thank everyone for all the help in getting my driver's side mirror fixed. You guys helped me get the door panel off without breaking anything in order to remove the mirror and you told me about Ed Swaneck who fixes the mirrors.
An especially big thanks to Ed who did an amazing job. Mirror looks brand new and looks to be much better engineered then GM. Thank you so very much.
This forum is awesome. Thanks again guys for all the help.
The outside mirrors rotates around a shaft - the spring, retainer/shaft set up breaks. The spring is too strong for shaft and pops the retainer off - not an uncommom failure particularly if you rotate your mirrors out of the way when you wash your C5! Ed puts in new shaft and spring - better materials, better mirror rotation - he claims it will last forever. If your mirrors start flopping around - you'll know! Ed's your guy.
That's great information. I wish I would have known that a few months ago when my passenger side mirror broke. Replaced it with a new one from the dealership and had it painted and put back on and it cost $350.00.
