I just found out today that my stock side mirror has a cracked glass in it.
don't know if our recent cold spell caused a run, or if its been cracked since last fall, or most likely I'm just having a bad luck spell....


but anyways I need to replace the mirror-glass and have never done that before. anyone have a tech article or thread about this?

can it be removed without damaging the stock mirror housing? How?

the way these mirrors have skyrocketed in value, I'd really just rather repair mine than replace it...

thanks for the tips and help.
and hopefully I won't have 7 years bad luck!

I replaced my mirror once, but it was 20 years ago!

As I recall, it's just a matter of prying out the thin black plastic beading that holds the mirror in.

The mirror will just come right out.

Take the broken one to a glass shop and have them cut you one the same size.
