What restaurant was this? Day time or night time? How long were you in the restaurant?

$100 deductible for vandalism, what INs are you with?

it was a sushi place on ventura blvd during 6-8pmish

Wow, that's just crazy and odd. Sorry to hear bro.

AshyLarryMP · 06-21-2013, 06:24 PM

At least there were no other scratches on the car. Did the car alarm go off when they took the mirrors?

no it did not.

I found a link that shows how to take it off and it is REALLY REALLY easy to do. And these are $300++ a PIECE (dealer prices) so yeah its unfortunate it doesn't affect the alarm.

mattkim85 · 06-21-2013, 08:34 PM

well on the bright side, I purchased it for a bargain($200) from a forum member, and he was local too!

thanks to mastek

^This.

For anyone who is carrying a comprehensive deductible higher than $100, I would encourage you to call your agent and see what it would cost to lower to $100. It won't be very expensive.

Lmao, first off, sorry your mirrors got stolen, but how...pix please this should be interesting.

GRUESOM3 · 06-22-2013, 09:16 AM

Sorry to hear but did they steal the whole housing or just the glass?

BPMSport · 06-22-2013, 10:42 AM

They can't steal the mirrors with the car locked.. Was the car unlocked?

Sorry that happened. I hate crooks! And those are not cheap mirrors..

OilPatch · 06-22-2013, 11:15 AM

Just FYI if you do order aspherical mirrors from ECS I just got mine in the mail about 1 month earlier than advertised. I don't know if I got lucky or not but I'm glad I can put these on as soon as I drive home from the dealership when my car gets here.

pnoiBmw · 06-22-2013, 01:49 PM

I would go with calling your insurance. And yes thieves are scum.

Erie Von Otto · 06-22-2013, 01:52 PM

Once you get used to the aspherical mirrors, you dont want anything else. I had to adjust how the mirror angle was to actually benefit from it but they are worth the coin...

Hmmm. Could you clarify, please?

When the car doors are locked, there is a kind of pin or something in the back side of the mirrors to keep them from being removed?

And, wondering aloud, does leaving them folded-inward make any difference on theft prevention?
