[RESOLVED] Unfortunate circumstances :(

[LucidNJ]

I had an unfortunate lapse in judgment this evening while pulling my AT into the garage. Didn’t realize how close I was to the opening while I was reversing in and my drivers side mirror hit the paneling around the garage. I ended up cracking the housing of my drivers side mirror and the panel on the bottom that covers the camera fell off. Worst part is that I just got my car back from PPF today. I’m so bummed out and figured I’d come on the forum to let out some despair.

Sorry about this.
Hopefully the parts will be readily available.

I wish I could just get that panel on the bottom snapped back in. Then at least the car would be driveable. Not a fan of driving around with those wires exposed. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what Lucid says. I placed a call to customer care right after this happened.

So sorry to hear. Hope you get it back as good as new.

Duct tape?

Duct tape?

I wish it was that simple.

So sorry to hear that. Pretty sure we all have been there or close to it. Again, sorry for your Lucid’s injury.

Ouch... Had a close call today backing out. Grazed the trim/seal around the garage opening. Thankfully just superficial scuffing.

I think I would have been ok if it was just a graze because my hopefully my PPF would have taken the brunt of that. But alas, it was 1 inch too far.

Duct tape?

Here we go.

it's duck tape

 

[Mawashi Geri]

PPF or not. I think I am going to mothball the Lucid and get a horse. I do wonder if I should put a full blanket on the horse. I would hate to rub it against anything. I am confident that I am next.

I have done this is 2-3 cars and the mirror just bent forward. All I had to do was push it back and there was no damage.

If I was going forward into the garage, no problem. Probably would have just closed the mirror. Issue was that I was reversing my way in so the mirror was pushed backward and therefore in a direction it is not meant to go. Sad face.

Those cars don’t have motorized side mirrors

 

[HariK]

Hope you find the parts you need. Apparently spare or replacement parts are in very short supply.

 

[MoniputerLM]

Those cars don’t have motorized side mirrors

Yes, they do.

 

[Janger]

Yes, they do.

I wonder how they do that but pretty good safety mechanism. I am going be be extra careful pulling in and out of garage.
