This is why we need power folding mirrors!
came home today to some nasty scuff marks on my passenger door, paint taken off the front wheel arch in 2 spots, and cracked side marker light. Luckily I manually folded my mirror in this a.m or this would have been a hell of a lot more expensive. Anyways has anyone gotten similar paint issues repaired? Missing the paint in 2 spots about 1" long each right over the wheel arch. Anyone know if something this size can be touched up or if they have to paint the whole fender? Can't take it in to the shop until next week, but am gonna order a replacement marker light in the mean time. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Not too sure, as I keep my car parked in one spot during the week while I'm at work so I don't know exactly when it happened.. Looks like someone tried to double park and cut it a little too close. The good news is the replacement side marker light was only about $40 at my dealership and only took me about an hour to vinyl wrap and install. Trying to get it over to the body shop this week for the paint, hoping it can be somehow touched up instead of the whole fender reprinted
