    Side Mirror Knob Broke
    The knob, located in the driver's side door controls, completely broke off. Any chance anyone out there has dealt with this and if so, what did it cost you to fix?

    Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I don't have the Prime model, but thanks for the heads-up. I will move that knob more gently. Not covered by warranty?

    Not sure if it's covered yet. Will be checking with Toyota. Chances are slim it's covered since I damaged the knob myself. In my case, it wasn't a matter of moving the knob. It was a freak accident where my shorts got caught on the knob as I was sitting down. The pressure caused the knob to snap off. Bummer for me.

    In my gen 4, I've been worried about that knob the most. Every time I use it it feels like a knob from a Chevy Aveo. Feel like it'll break lol

    You're too honest. Tell the dealer that when went to use it, it wasn't there. It's a new car after all.
