Hi all,

Not long ago some kind idiot in a transit van knocked my door mirror off, smashing the casing and I suspect also damaging the motor that folds the mirror in as now when it folds in it seems to be folding in to far and it's hitting the window. Luckily the tilting feature and the camera still seem to work fine, the indicator still works although most of it has been smashed off.

I took it to my local main Nissan dealers on April 1st for them to assess the damage and to get a quote for a repair. The guy went out to look at the car and I waited and waited and waited and after about 15 mins I was told that Nissan had never supplied them with the part number for a casing (self coloured silver casing) and they were having trouble trying to find out what the number was, they had the part number for a replacement motor for it though. I had a text from them today saying they had ordered a complete new door mirror assembly just to see if it came with a silver casing supplied.

As I was leaving the dealers I saw one of the lads going round removing QQ door mirror casings, when I said "what have they got you doing now" he said he had been told to go round and remove casings looking for the part numbers.

How bl**dy hard can it be to get a new door mirror/casing, surely I'm not the only person to ever ask for a new mirror in the entire world.

Rant over!!

Regards Chris.

Thanks for the link gloucester,

I saw these while doing a google search but non of them are the self coloured silver ones that are fitted to my Tekna+

Chris, give Glyn Hopkins a Call they appear to have on line several variations of Nissan OEM Mirror Covers but again not the color you are after, might be worth a call. The No. Pattern for your QQ Tekna + like ours is OEM LH # 963744EA - - / RH # 963734EA - -. The last 2 missing numbers appear to be the Colors. The numbers are the same as Gloucester has mentioned so you must be on the right track now. Be careful as there appears to be differences between the J10 & J11 Versions - Good Luck Dave 😉

** UPDATE **

I had a call from the Nissan dealers this morning, they have taken delivery of a complete door mirror assembly but guess what...they aren't supplied with a casing. They did manage to find the part number for the silver casing though and that's on order ( for all I know they've 'borrowed' the casing from another QQ )

Anyway it's booked in April 14th to have the replacement mirror/casing fitted.

Chris, that is a Hell of a Cost for a Wing Mirror, but if there are no other options I suppose you have to part with the Money - Dave 🥴

Hi Dave,

I suppose I could have tried to source a second hand one but with my QQ only being a few months old I wanted it putting back to new again using new parts. I asked the dealer if I could have the one they removed as the mirror glass, camera and the tilt when reversing mechanism etc etc all still worked. It'll probably find it's way to the back of the shed never to see the light of day again, but if anyone needs any spare parts then I've got one.

Regards, Chris.

Chris, I am of the same opinion if the QQ is newish or up to scratch then using new stuff is the way to go if the money is available - Dave 👍😋

Best check the calibration of the cameras now!

I'd have sourced one from eBay I think, a write-off that's a year old may well have one that was made the same time as yours. £40 for the mirror cap to be painted and job done, assuming the camera doesn't need calibrating.

Was this not an insurable thing?
