I just lost the second side door mirror in a couple of months.
Many manufacturers now seem to think the rigid mirrors are a great way to make
money off their unluckier customers by selling them replacement mirrors.

To my dismay the '98 Subaru GT wagon has no swiveling mirrors but even more
annoying is the fact that the '99 Toyota Camry doesn't have them either - there
were no winners in last Sunday's brief confrontation of mirrors.

I am considering using sacrificial nylon screws instead of the steel fasteners
to hold the mirrors - this should allow them to pop off without too much damage.
Has anyone here tried this before and what's the consensus on this?

solid mirrors are usually that way to reduce wind noise and add fuel
economy....both things are welcome in a Subaru. TG
 
the replacement is about 200 bucks which is not welcome.

The newer subbies have swiveling mirrors which indicate the wind noise and
fuel economy is negligeble
