Mirrors


David R. Johnson
 

Rick:

I broke off my driver's side mirror a couple years ago.? The term "breakaway mirror" is rather misleading.? Break-off is perhaps more correct.? Anyway, the housing and mirror are separate.? If you have the electric controlled mirror, you also have a heated mirror.? The glass part is over $100.? Don't know what a standard piece of glass will cost you.? The housing was about $150, plus labor and I was all set for about $300.? I was stunned.

Oddly enough, I broke off the passenger side mirror two weekends ago after ending up in a muddy ditch.? The housing is shot, but the glass is OK.? I've got a new housing on order.? It mounts pretty simply with three maching screws.? The glass sticks on (literally) as the last step.

You might be able to locate a replacement mirror from other parts suppliers.? I'd call around.

Good luck,
David

I bought a new piece of glass for the driver side from the VW dealer for
$80 (electric/heated)...two days later I smashed it.

So I went to a local glass shop and the cut a piece of mirror to fit
exactly right...they installed it and the whole job was $20...and they
say the heat should still work.
