ok, so i'm going to burger king and i drive to the window at like, 2mph and i hit that stupid pole with my side mirror . . . watching it bend back in slow motion was not pleasing to the stomach. needless to say it wiggles, and it vibrates violently on the highway now that it's loose. i've tightened the nuts behind that black thing on my door, but it's still loose. do i need a new mirror?

in a word, yup.
one saturn screwed everyone by going against the flow and not having folding mirrors, 90% of cars do, regardless if its a caddy or a kia, most mirrors fold, this way on impact all you have to do is fold them back out...
now the rear kicker here... saturn COULD EASILY sell the base, the base is what gives most often, and saturn COULD sell something like that for about 8 buvks, but nooooo, they make you buy the whole damn thing, and boy have i heard them take adavantage of some people, ive had girls call me telling me that saturn wanted to nail em for like 200 bucks for a power sc mirror?! ouch... thats wrong....
but hey your off the hook, you know me, drop me a line, mirrors dont cost much with us at all.
if you take off your mirror from the inside (remove the inner trim peice and theres three 10 mm behind it) im sure youll find one of the hold down points on the base or mirror broken...
