Exclamation HELP! I need a new rear view mirror clip for my XKR!

I just got my rear view mirror back from Radar-Mirror.com for an auto dimming repair. They did a great job! After I installed my newly repaired mirror, I had some pretty bad mirror shake, so I took the mirror back off to "adjust" the metal spring latch clip that grabs the windshield button. As I tried to bend the metal ears to make it a tighter fit, I snapped one of the ears off the clip. Doh!!!

Does anybody know where I can get a replacement clip? I haven't been able to find a listing or part number on any of the dealer sites.

Thanks in advance!

Jon

The same mirror is fitted to an Acura tl - check if a clip is listed separately by an Acura dealer. Check my earlier post about the Acura part number for the mirror to help the search.

Batroute...You da man! Thank you for your advice! My local Acura dealer came through for me. They looked up a clip using the application of a 2007 Acura TL. They came up with part #76419-SZ3-J05. They had one in stock...It's a perfect match! They charged me $6.07, including sales tax. A bargain, considering I found a used clip for $50 on the web.

Cheers!

You're welcome! You could have bought the whole mirror for another $74 and even at that the Acura dealer is making money - the same mirror is over $300 from a Jag dealer - pretty good mark up in anybody's world.
