Did you lose yours? If you're buying them for anti theft purposes, they won't help. They'll just rip the whole thing off.

That is some BULL**** Who knew? This is where street justice would be so sweet.

Hi ,
I read your post about stolen side view mirrors. I hope you had luck getting the right parts. it is a shame that we have such idiots that steal your car parts without realizing that what they steal is worthless to them but costs you a lot of money to replace. I hit a garbage dumpster and the inside of my passenger side-view mirror fell out. The signal lighting part works when I signal, but its glass housing is broken. I also hear the electronics working when I use the buttons but the casing that holds the mirror is missing. The mirror piece itself is intact but can only stay inside the housing by tape. Can you tell me where you got your parts and share with me any other ideas that come to mind? What parts should I buy and from where? I see on Ebay they sell the package (unpainted for $179). Thanks. Mine is also silver C32, 2002. Thanks,
Andy T

I was fortunate enough to have a local member sell me the internals of the mirrors. All I had to do was get the housings and the mirror for the driver side, which is much more expensive due to auto-dimming function. You may have damaged the motor and you probably need a new mirror. For some reason I don't think you damaged the motor, but you may need a new mirror. I was able to find some parts on ebay, but you may be in luck. I may have a left over mirror for the passenger side and even an extra motor. I'll have to see if the parts are still good, but their yours if you want them.

See if you can post a pic of the black motor and the back of the mirror to see if I can tell if yours are damaged.

Thank you for the offer. I will post some pictures this weekend. I will post them as reply to this thread. Let me know what you suggest. Thanks,
Andy T.

Here are three pictures of the mirror. I hope they show you what you need to make a suggestion. Thank you again,

I was expecting much worse, looks as if the mirror just popped off. You sHould be able to put the mirror back on, you just need to make sure that you didn't break any of the tabs and that you didn't lose the metal pieces off of the back of the mirror. I had the hardest time tyring to put the mirror back on, but it just pops in to place.

I'll try to see if I can find a DIY

the mirror itself does not stay in. I think there needs to be a plastic casing around the mirror itself that has broken off. This is what I see on the driver's side. Also the lights work but the case for lights is also broken. Thanks,

Shopping in a Houston mall came out to find both side mirrors of my C250 stolen. Luckily had comprehensive insurance, got both mirrors replaced by my insurance company. But the thought of this happening again made me search online and finally found a company on Amazon that makes guards that I bought and seem to be working well.

Do you have a link or just bragging?

sandron

Checkout automirrorguard.com or search for anti theft mirror guards on Amazon. You'll see what I'm talking about.

This wont really help with the situation described above though.

Out of all my years on this planet, this is the first time I have ever read about car mirror theft. I'm just trying to picture all these cars running around with MB mirrors. Wow.
