Mirror Mount - Paint flaking/bubbling
Anyone else with on '04 or '05 545i have any issues with the mirror mounts? It looks like galvanized aluminum or something that's been powder coated.
My drivers side has all but flaked off leaving the bare metal and the passenger mirror mount is bubbling and on it's way to flaking off.
Has anybody experienced this on their car? A great little body shop quoted $150 to pull both off, clean them up, paint and reinstall.
I'm curious if there might be new mounts I could purchase pre-painted or even maybe some that are a different style.
