What is trim damage on a car?
Mirror caps, side skirts and trim pieces are separate plastic parts clipped or bolted on. They are not part of a panel. That usually makes them simpler to deal with.
What kind of repair does it need?
Usually a new part rather than a repair. If the part is painted, the new one is painted to match.
Class of work
A trim part, replaced.
A plastic clip and a powered mirror with heating, indicators and a camera are both called trim. Ask which one is being quoted.
What to do next
Ask for the part price before you agree to a repair. On a painted mirror cap, ask for both the repair and the replacement price. Watch for parts with electronics inside, like mirrors with cameras or indicators. They cost more.
