Door Mirror (W211) Broken Flasher Lens

[magreen]

I had an unlucky incident at the weekend with a bird striking the O/S door mirror on my E220 CDi Elegance which broken the lens covering the repeater flasher but left the rest of the mirror untouched. All the electrics work fine.

Does anyone know if I can simply replace that long narrow lens without the expense of replacing the whole mirror unit?

Look forward to hearing your comments.

They come seperatly and they're not all that expensive either.

they cost £18 and easy to fit, the cover just slides off

Thanks guys - that's really good news. I was expecting a complete unit replacement at about £250.

When you say the cover slides off, is that the long clear flasher lens or the entire housing?

Press glass in at the bottom, and unhook wire spring over the top and remove glass. Fold the mirror towards the rear,, insert suitible tool in hole on the rear edge and press the catch and the cover slides off

Superb, an excellent example of how the internet can help so quickly.

Many thanks.
