    I returned home after some travel and found both my side mirrors had the glass (plastic mirror) completely broken. I first thought somebody had vandalized the truck, but the police said we had a nasty hail storm last Friday while I was aqay and noted some hail dents on my hood and another nearby vehicle also with broken mirrors. Damn. :mad:

    Anyway, how hard is it to just replace the glass? Worth messing with insurance? I would imagine the deductible is more than the cost. :confused:

    Thanks.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    The mirror is just held in with some plastic clips

    No other damage to your truck?? We sometimes get hail damaged cars at the auction and they are freaking hammered on. Especially the hood and roof.
