W210 facelift drivers side mirror replacement

[tylerdurden]

Hi, advice required.

1999 E240 elegance. Facelift version.

The drivers side mirror and failed and become cloudy.

The side mirror otherwise functions just fine, its just the mirror glass.

Now my post relates to options for replacement.

I've seen clip ons in ebay which I presume are nasty.

I was quoted >£220 for the mirror from MB. This seems ludicrous. Parts dept claimed it was because they were autodimming.

Went to the ECP website and mirros retail at £74 but no indication about dimming. It does say they are heated.

Slightly confused as to what the sensible way to sort this issue out is. Ta in advance

I looked into this as mine was the same and there were no 'cheap' auto dimming glasses available. Either cough up the ludicrous price or settle for a heated non-dimming for a fraction of the price. Ebay heated jobbie should be fine.
