I'd wondered what is was like... and what people do, when they whack mirrors passing each other. Now I know! Closing speed of about 100 mph. The protector did a good job, even if it did crack in the process.
It turns out that a previous owner had fitted mirror protectors after damaging the driver's side mirror - probably to hide the damage and because the protectors are cheaper that replacing a mirror.
Anyway, anyone have any tips on repairing damage? I plan to remove the earlier repair to the mirror and redo that properly and repair the protector, too.
I don't mind a battle-scar look so long as it's sound.
