Have to replace a mirror on my van; it wound up hitting the side of the garage and shattered the plastic casing. Everything still works surprisingly, but at the moment it's being held together and protected from the elements by tape. If it was just the chrome cover that would be an easy replacement, but unfortunately the black plastic base was also fucked up. Not upset though; shit happens and that's a fairly common mistake.

Annoyed at how hard it is to source a replacement part though. Because it's a high end trim (T&C Touring L) it's got a lot of features beyond just being a basic chrome capped power mirror. In housing signal, heated, power folding, blind spot advisor, etc. All the aftermarket places sell mirrors that lack the blind spot advisor though, and that's what makes this so difficult. Manual fold, power fold, heated, in housing lighting, chrome finish, yes. Some of the blind spot advisor mirrors that I DID find are lacking other features though, or are not the right fit for the van. And the mopar parts websites list like 50 million mirrors that MIGHT fit the van, so good luck figuring out which part number I actually need!

Thankfully I was able to pull the mirror off enough to look at the actual part number and do a search. ...and wow there are literally NO aftermarket replacements for that particular part number. What the fuck. Best I can do is OEM from discount mopar supply sites. And those run $400 each, but sometimes you can find them for 30% off. Still, that's a hell of a lot of money for a mirror D:

Last resort I went to eBay to see if I could find a used one. Thankfully I did find one! $210 for a used one that is in a condition comparable to my mirror before the incident! Ordered it and now I wait. Supposedly it'll be here in 10 days. Hopefully sooner. Going to have to figure out how to pop the panel off the door when it does come in; the connector is inside the door itself and it's secured too tightly to just pull the cable up through the opening behind the mirror panel.
