This crack appeared the other day on my drivers side mirror pillar :

wondering how it got there ? someone thumped the mirror ? stress crack due to driving repeatedly at 'some miles per hour' :-)
doesnt seem loose if i waggle it a bit - worth reparing ?

Looks like the miror may have been smacked?
does it enlarge if you pull the mirror back?

If it does, open it up then squirt in some structural adhesive.

I'm sure that is normal...
It's where the door skin meets the door panel.
There is normally a body coloured sticker over the top.

Hard to tell because of the reflections but it looks much more like a surface crack to me. It runs down nearer the middle and has a much more jagged line than those straight cut protective vinyl pieces.

In the op pic, the cut vinyl is missing.
Go and have a look at your doors, they should have the vinyl piece.
I wonder if the op compared his two doors the other one should have the vinyl.

great info - thanks - spot on - sticker missing from drivers side due to recent re-spray of the door. Present on passenger side.
(crack doesn't widen under pressure)
Don't suppose you can get a replacement sticker ? otherwise guess a bit of black vinyl will do....
