Broken Mirror Glass

Passenge side mirror glass broken...what's the best, cheapest way to fix this... Do I have to replace the entire mirror or just the lens?

Anybody price the mirror lens from the dealer?

I had mine in for warranty work when the passenger side mirror heating element quit and they replaced the lens only but I don't know how much the lens was.

I cracked my d/s mirror about a year ago. The best option. . .if it's not heated or the signal mirror, is to get just the replacement mirror glass. I just scraped all the broken glass out, cleaned it up a bit with alcohol/gas, then stuck the new pre-cut mirror into the holder with a strong, weatherproof epoxy. You don't even have to remove the holder from the mirror assembly, but I did to get all the little pieces out easier. You can't even notice it's been replaced.

I bought mine on eBay for about $20.00. Worked perfect.

Well, the plastic backing is also broken. It snapped all the little clips off the part that the mirror sticks to. The "jug" is ok.

I think mine was around $50 for the glass at a dealer. Pretty simple to replace IMO. Once the old is off, the new one plugs in (defrost) then push the glass on.

If you can find a used glass only they pop right out. I replaced my wife's passenger heated glass. Just pull the top of the glass with a quick tug and they pop right out of the center retainer ring. The new one pops right in and if heated or turn signal has a small plug.
