Ok, so a week or so ago I had the new windscreen fitted to the Patrol. Because she is unregistered and the old screen was already ripped out, the guy that put it in only had to throw the new screen in. According to my wife the job took about 5 minutes. Anyway, when I got home from work that night, I noticed that the rear view mirror had apparently been unscrewed and left on the dash. No biggie, I thought, the guy has just had to remove it to get access to the inside of the seal and has forgotten to screw it back up.
So fast forward to today and I figure I'll screw that rear view mirror back in - only take a couple of minutes. Yeah right. As I start screwing the breakaway bit falls in my lap. To cut to the chase the windscreen guy has managed to bust the breakaway mount for the mirror. Fair enough, accidents happen I guess but what has really ticked me is 1) he never let me or the missus know and 2) he has obviously disassembled the mirror, then "glued" the mount back together with, umm, black windscreen sealant so now the whole rear vision mirror mount which is toast anyway along with the adjacent head lining is covered in black goop WTF!!
Anyway, unless I find out the replacement bit is like 50 bucks plus from Nissan, I'm kinda cool with replacing the mount but what do you reckon guys - should I be on the phone blasting the bejeezus outta this mob first thing Wednesday or would this just be an over reaction????
