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+.

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.

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.
