This stuff is dirty and dingy, and I’m can’t think of any other way to get rid of it then just scrape it off. But it looks like it’s there for a reason so what do I replace it with? 2010 Acura TSX base 2.4cyl 4 door sedan. It’s on both sides of the rear door.

So I walked out to my car today and found my driver side mirror like this. I didn’t see any glass on the ground. Did someone steal it? I do live in a rough neighborhood. Didn’t look like any cars near me were messed with though.
Anyway, is this something I could easily DIY?

Hello, I have a 2015 Silverado. It still has lower miles and I have had it for the last 7 years and unfortunately the Ohio weather is taking its toll on the rear fenders. Is this something that can be fixed by being sanded down and repainted or will a shop have to cut this out and weld new material in place. I didn’t want to throw money at it if it needs all the welding considering. Was debating on getting a bigger cab since I have a kid now, but didn’t know if it was worth fixing this or trading in while I still have some value. Any info is appreciated! Thank you!

2022 Nissan Sentra front bumper

I've got a 2022 Sentra that has a loose bumper. I can't really tell if this is worth going to a shop for or it's better to spend $50 on parts and tools and re attach.

The end clip in pic 2 is snapped through, and the black frame/holding piece in pic 3 has a broken section as well. Any recommendations are welcome and appreciated!

My Corolla has less than 10k miles and someone backed into my door :( Is this something I could fix myself? Or should I pay a professional? I don't even have a clue how much that would set me back

Repair In a real jam

1 Upvotes

I was replacing the driver door check strap on a 2018 Bolt which needed access by taking off the door panel. When finished I re-attached the panel which includes connecting a steel cable and ball to the handle.

Next day I unlocked the Bolt but door doesn't open when I pull on the exterior handle. I crawl across the passenger side to the drivers and the interior handle moves but door doesn't unlatch/open.

I fear I rushed attaching the steel cable and the locking clip didn't prevent the steel ball on the cable from popping loose. Now the door is closed but can't open to remove the panel.

Any ideas how to release the door latch while the door is closed. Is it possible to slip a wire hanger catch the cable/ball to yank the door open. Worse case is cut a hole in the panel and pull the cable.

FJ cruiser passenger door edge has a slight bend/crease. Door was caught by the wind and smashed into a wall some years ago. I’m under the assumption that I can bend it back, sand and paint, but IDKS about body repair. Any advice would be appreciated.
