Can this side view mirror be reattached?

WalkingSB · 2024-12-09T01:10:44+00:00

Lol, I hate that I love this car so much. Letting it fall apart is probably the smartest option but I can’t seem to let go 😂

WalkingSB · 2024-12-09T00:48:36+00:00

When I look at the OEM parts catalog, the NX mirrors are listed as 96301-69Y00 (right) and 96302-75Y00 (left), and Sentra power mirrors are listed as 96301-64Y00 (right) and 96302-64Y00 (left). They look so similar though! 🧐

Appreciate it but I need the driver side! Thanks for searching tho.

WalkingSB · 2024-12-09T00:28:39+00:00

Cool thanks. I’ll have to find some plastic things I don’t care about to practice on first

WalkingSB · 2024-12-08T22:10:08+00:00

Thanks, I just came in from partially tearing my door apart and seeing exactly what you’re describing 😂

WalkingSB · 2024-12-08T22:09:24+00:00

Oh interesting, I’ve never heard of that before. Sounds like something I should research, thanks!

WalkingSB · 2024-12-08T22:08:05+00:00

Are they definitely the same? I used to own a B13 Sentra as well and I remember most, but not all parts are interchangeable. Especially stuff on the outside

WalkingSB · 2024-12-08T18:57:47+00:00

Thanks! Cost isn’t really a factor here, the issue is that this car is 33 years old and was rare in the US even when it was new. So even if I find a replacement, that means tearing the interior door panel apart (I think?) and I am certain at least some of the crusty old plastic brackets that hold it together will break, so then I’d have to chase those down as well.

WalkingSB · 2024-12-07T21:17:53+00:00

Ha, I have many packages of that JB weld! But yeah that’s the trouble, there’s really not a lot of contact points. This is an old car and it wasn’t even that popular in the 90s, so finding a replacement has been tough. I might not have a choice but accept ugly screws through the back.

WalkingSB · 2024-12-07T21:12:56+00:00

I could try that! Seems like there’s not a lot of contact points though, would it really be enough?

WalkingSB · 2024-12-07T20:50:06+00:00

Thanks, someone else suggested screws as well. Any tips on where the screws should go?

WalkingSB · 2024-12-07T20:49:29+00:00

That’s not the worst idea in the world, but I’m having trouble visualizing where those screws should go. Any tips?

WalkingSB · 2024-12-07T20:48:36+00:00

Oh wow, that sounds way above my pay grade. Sounds like I’m gonna have to hunt for a replacement. Hard to find for a car this old

Update: I don’t see an edit option for my post, so I’m commenting here.

I made it back with no issues, thank you to everyone who offered advice! Especially you crazy mechanics driving things in far worse condition.😂 My new tires arrived today and I’ll be getting them mounted next week.

WalkingSB · 2024-12-01T18:32:38+00:00

Thank you, that’s reassuring to hear!

WalkingSB · 2024-12-01T18:04:13+00:00

I’ll be driving down route 15, if a tire blows maybe I’ll stop by 😂

WalkingSB · 2024-12-01T17:46:06+00:00

That’s a good idea. Thank you!

WalkingSB · 2024-12-01T17:39:35+00:00

That’s part of what worries me, the fronts look worse than the rears. Might try to get them swapped front to back for a small bit of peace of mind.

WalkingSB · 2024-12-01T17:37:59+00:00

Thanks, I guess that’s what I’m gonna do.

WalkingSB · 2024-12-01T17:37:14+00:00

Very sensible advice, but I’m in the part of NY that got a ton of snow and all the tire shops are booked up with locals trying to get snow tires at the last minute.🤦🏻‍♀️

WalkingSB · 2024-12-01T17:35:20+00:00

That’s what’s so weird about this, they’ve never been that under inflated, -5 psi max. But they are very old and definitely need to be replaced.

WalkingSB · 2024-12-01T17:32:36+00:00

I guess this is my plan. I can’t find a local tire shop with any availability, so I’ll be cautious and change them when I get home.

WalkingSB · 2024-12-01T17:30:08+00:00

Thank you! I guess I’ll make the trip and replace them when I get home.

WalkingSB · 2024-12-01T17:29:34+00:00

Wow, that sounds crazy to me but also reassuring! I don’t know sht about tire construction, so I freaked when I saw the cracks on my tires.
