Bum! I cracked my wing mirror

[Gucci]

Sigh....it had to happen, I christened the wing mirror on my W163 ML. Fortunately, it was just a clip to a tough transit mirror casing (with no damage at all ). However, my electrics are fine, just the mirror glass cracked. How much for one of those then?

Some are upto £200!

Bum!

I would put £100 that was not what you said at the time!

No, I think it was a tad more colourful than that.

It Could Be Worse

I Had The Front Bumper Painted 1000 Miles Ago, So Far I Have List The Towing Eye Cover And Scratched It Twice!

I know, I should be greatful I haven't gorged a great chunk out of the car, or perhaps I should put it into a bit more perspective...could be up to my eyes in flood water!

I think you can get ones that stick over the cracked glass for about £5-£10 which work OK as long as you don't rely on heated mirrors.

Try Ebay and Halfords etc.

Had a quick look on ebay, apart from one E class mirror at £50 (listed as original price £235!) I can't find another one. Anyway, what do you reckon to this site?

Doesn't have ML listed, but perhaps it's the same part number as another vehicle?

A quick search on the parts site infers about 200 quid for an electrochromic, about 40 quid for a standard one, there's a lot of mirror glass part codes though!

Is there a part number on the back of the glass?

Yes, just had a gander:

A163 810 2719
R+S 380.137Z

Maybe it's happened before, my car is 2004

Lucky - that's a cheap one.

According to www.mercedes-benz-parts.co.uk that's 41.36+vat and shipping. I've found that walking in, or emailing the dealer and saying "order me an a123456789, should be about 41 quid" tends to go without argument...

How about one of these from eBay, they have both sides in stock. I've recently used a stick on replacement and it seems fine.
