Wife is away and just crashed her Civic into a post, HELP!
The wife is away and I was doing the right thing, planning to take her little old Civic in for a wash so it was nice and clean when she gets back Monday evening. Forgetting what parking space I was in I reversed out and hit a concrete post on the passenger side like a complete idiot! So now i need to fix this or at least have the wheels in motion by the time she gets back! As it's Sunday, all the Honda parts dealership are closed so I'm hoping someone can help.
So first thing, new wing mirror, I'm seeing the part number as 19403 88 89 90 91 or 19403 - C7319403. Can anyone confirm that will be the stock wing mirror and if so any pointer to how to remove, fit a new one would be awesome!
Regarding the big dent and bend around the door hinge and body, I'm assuming to fix this properly might cost me a few dollars which while it may not be worth it given the value of the car, that thinking won't come into it with my wife. Any estimates on cost or tips/advice on how I can at least 'try' to fix it up myself to start with?
The black rubber strip on the door I have back on (minus some plastic clips) but anyone know a part number for a replacement as it's kind of marked and bent at the point of impact?
The short plastic trim piece by the wheel I cant get back on due to the bend but, if that was straight, I still need the clips and i cant find a part number for those either.
The other worry is the passenger door now doesn't close tightly at the opposite end at the top of the window against the frame, any tips?
Basically any help right now would be appreciated so that i can at least sound like i know what needs to be done fix it all by the time she gets back.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

A new car would probably be pretty clean, make mama happy, and you wouldn't lose your sammich supply right away.
If you want sammiches, you gotta keep mama happy.
