Hi all,
Found this article from CAR magazine (in screenshots below) - thought I'd share.
tldr: 2 weeks + £2k bill to fix broken mirror/door damage from a clipped mirror incident with J12 Tekna+.
Small accident, big consequences

Is that an insurance claim figure I wonder...
About 12 years ago I reversed out of a parking space and hit a passing car. No damage to my car and a dent in the rear wing of the passing car, but no other damage.
The insurance claim from the other party was £1,400 - of which £600 was the repair cost and £800 the courtesy car hire!

I think that £2000 price is over inflated, no way it costs that for the parts from dealers and fitting.gloucester wrote: ↑Tue Apr 26, 2022 3:24 pm Is that an insurance claim figure I wonder...

Can't see the damage to the door or the door glass so bit hard to say whether the price charged was appropriate or not. The door might have got away with a smart repair... but may have needed much more of a repair.
Sounds familiar story to other brands though if you not only damage the mirror but the bodywork and the door glass.
