I was driving down my driveway one night a few months ago, and it gets a bit tight between my house on one side of the driveway and a hedge on the other. Well I hear a "thunk" on my passenger side and realize I clipped the damn garbage can I have next to the house with the mirror. I feel my spirit drop, car is two months old and I probably just put a scuff on that mirror housing! I get out of the car and see the mirror got rotated up by the force. I rotate it back, and look at it best I can in the dark, can't see any damage. Later back in the garage with the lights on I check it out close, not a scuff or scratch! My other daily drivers have always ended up with some scuffs from the hedge or garbage cans eventually. Maybe the rotation of the mirror takes the force before the paint can get damaged?
At any rate, I am going to move those darn cans to another location this spring. Every year I try to trim that hedge back but it just keeps growing back!
