Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: How to repair the outside rearview mirror of a car cheaply

The most common thing when a mirror breaks is that the internal support breaks, which is made of an alloy called "zamak" which is almost impossible to weld. Then you have to go to a good electrician who will be able to provide us with perforated pins, which are applied inside the original pin and through which we can pass the mirror cable, and through two bolts we can re-tension the spring that made it work mirror. It is a job that requires a minimum of manual dexterity, because we had to remove the cable from the mirror, disconnect it from the connector of the electric motor, then put it back in place and reconnect it. Not to mention that the internal panel of the car door must also be partially removed, to first disconnect and then reconnect the cables. However, we solved the situation with a few euros, while instead we would have had to replace the entire mirror, with a very substantial expense.
