I know it may not be the cool thing to own a minivan, but when you think of practicality they are at the top of the list for running kids around town.

Anyway, I was retreiving the secret "Santa" presents out of the attic this evening so we could begin our holiday travels in the morning and had a little accident. I was descending the shelves, my hasty ladder, and slipped. Well the passenger side mirror on the minivan slowed my fall, but it also gave way.

I got it all taken off, (only had to cut the wires for the heater), and taped up the holes for the trip.

I would like to find a replacement at a junkyard maybe instead of paying a dealer to order the part. Does anyone know if any other years would have the same part number as the one currently broken, or where I might be able to figure it out?

Her mini is a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT.

Thanks for any insight.

I did put something up on the Caravan forum, but the guys here seem to know things about all sorts of cars.

 

if you go to the dealer they will charge you megabucks. . .ebay???

 

I would call a few junk yards, although often they are not all that reasonably priced anyway.

 

Try theu pull the parts yourselfjunkyards, they're usually not too bad.

 

definately hit up the junk yards... I'm sure you can get a replacement at about 1/2cost of a new one.
