Broke passenger side mirror...
So in replacing my mirror caps, I busted the glass on my passenger side..
Really bummed and not sure where to get replacement. Looks like auto dimming and heated can be super pricey. But I have simple heated ones for around $100. Any advice...? Does anyone have a spare they are willing to part with? Thanks... |

Thanks ya I see some one eBay for $99. They are OEM but used. I really could care less if it's used as long as it works.
Saw some for $50 shipped that heat but no auto dimmer.. Not sure if I should cheap out on auto dimmer as I don't know if I ever even use it? |

Yeah same. New is $200+. Mine has a small scuff but I'll take that over a cracked mirror.

Wanted to ask how did you replace just the cracked mirror? I don't want to break any tabs as they seem pretty solid, the mirror costs around $100, I don't think mine are suto-dimming, I think if I buy it from the dealer they might charge me a full hour to replace it, it shouldn't take them more than 2 minutes to do it. |

So I should just carry on with the same method that cracked the glass and pop it out? I'm just worried about breaking the tabs. I assume you installed new caps, how's the fitment? The ones I got from ebay are good but don't sit completely at the inner lower corner, only visible when I'm really looking closely, there is no wind noise though.
