So yesterday on my way home from work, I was minding my own business when a truck with extended tow mirrors crossed over the center lane and our mirrors gave each other a high-five. My window was rolled down, so the force of the impact caused my mirror to disconnect from the housing and rocket into the cab of my truck. Luckily, I was driving with my hand at the 12:00 position, so my arm took the brunt of it. If not for that, it would have likely hit me in the neck/face area which would have been much worse. The glass from the mirror covered the entire interior of the truck including front seats, center console, dash, windshield, back seats and so on. The mirror landed on top of the cup holders in the center console. The guy knew it was his fault so he took off. There was a local sheriff a few cars back at a stop so I tried to flag him down, but he just stared as he drove passed. So now I am on the hunt for a new driver side mirror and more than likely a dashcam too. I called my local RAM dealership and they wanted $1327.38 for the mirror which seems like highway robbery to me. They were at least nice enough to give me the part number that matches my VIN (6YJ65KXJAB) so I could look elsewhere.
I started with the mopar app (store.mopar.com) and found that they wanted $994 for the complete mirror which is better, but still more than what I am wanting to pay. I then came across moparfactoryparts.com which has the same part on sale with a 34.6% discount, which brings the total price to $649.64. I am ok with this price, but am wondering if the site is legit. It seems that the two sites share the same inventory numbers, but site logins are different. I just want to make sure before I pull the trigger. Have any of you ordered parts from moparfactoryparts.com?
