Falcor Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) I'm trying to decide. The mirror housing on the driver's side is cracked and a couple months ago I bought a replacement on Amazon, but the top didn't line up with the door frame well (returned). So here are my options: 1. Dorman aftermarket 2. Salvage yard 3. Upgrade to the SAP Outback mirrors (aftermarket, will need paint and wiring) Keep in mind the painted cap is fine, it was just the housing that is cracked (against the garage door frame). So I can just swap the cap if I get a standard mirror. But, in want of something better, I keep eyeing the SAP mirrors.

Generally it'll be around $50-$60 from what I remember. I always try to go with oem with things like mirrors, so maybe salvage yard would be the second best option...

Falcor Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 I can get a 2012 Outback salvage one for $75 locally. I’m thinking of going that route honestly. Just hope I don’t kick myself later for not going with the SAP version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are then I guess you should be fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcor Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Ended up going with the OEM one off the salvage Outback. That way I know it's going to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
