in most cases you can either get the whole mirror or just the glass so you should be ok..not sure on price tho.

Best bet is to get the JDM mirror lens off Ebay. Alot cheaper than junk yards since they mostly want to sell you the whole housing for $200 +

I can't believe it. You are the second victim in this thread of having the mirror problem. What is wrong with these low life boredom people?

lol I was thinking the same thing. It is side view mirror week

Same thing happened to me awhile back. I went to a local all glass place and I had them cut me a new one. It lasted like 10 years and it was around $30. Sorry to hear about this. If you're not sure if the wiring is not good or not still, you can still manipulate the mirror holder by the joystick and see if it still moves around. If it's broken, maybe look for an entire housing with mirror.

OP I had an all glass person did it, but your best bet is to get it off ebay that mr jokster gave It even has the warning on the bottom of the glass.

It was only ONE, but a mechanic told me that its quite frequent that they are being stolen. I'm wondering if theres a market for glass or whatever its made of. Then again, if you look at the factory mirror glass are going for like $75+ on ebay so I suppose its worth stealing to go on ebay and try to get $75 for it... or even the $20 that the aftermarket ones are getting. criminals will do anything
