Hi Guys,
I need the internal motor mechanism for a drivers side Insight Gen 1
The garage I took the car to for the MOT decided to break the mechanism inside the mirror without smashing the glass. Naturally I didn't notice until I was several miles away from the garage and noticed the glass wobbling in the holder.
No idea how much they are but many thanks in advance

If you can post a couple of good pictures, I might be able to advise you on repair. Try to tip the mirror glass out and get the picture there. Is the center pivot point broken off and is the part still in the back of the glass part?

Hello Scott, thanks for the reply, yes the middle post is snapped off including one of the nylon ball screws the mirror adjusts on. Is beyond repair. How they managed to cause so much damage without breaking the glass I don't know. The outside of the mirror body is all scratched up.
