I needed a wing mirror glass for the drivers side on my S320 W220 model which would be heated and self dimming only to be quoted £347 for just the glass alone. This is direct from MB.

Purchased a heated version on an auction site for £12 but its not auto dimming. I have decided to live without that feature.
 
Many of us have chosen to live without that feature.
 
MB do a straight replacement mirror, no auto dim, for £40 but they couldn't even tell me if it would retain the heated function so I went with the remedy posted on YouTube. I dismantled the mirror and cleaned out the liquid crystals between the mirror and glass and put it back together again. It no longer auto dims but does still appear to clear when the rear screen is turned on, two hours of my time and a small squirt of Araldite to re-assemble. :)
