So I get to class and what do I see? My side view mirrors are gone and not only did they take the side view mirror, they broke the frame, scratched up the area around the side view mirror, and they frayed the wiring harness on both sides of the car.

I've heard of this happening before, but you never think that it would happen to you. The thing is that there isn't much we can do about the theft of our side view mirrors because they are so easy to take off. I just can't believe idiots would steal my side view mirrors just to put them on their POS.

Has this happened to you and does anyone have the part numbers for the side view mirrors? My car is silver by the way.

I'm going to need the complete side view mirror:

That's the casing, the mirror, the motor, the frame, the rubber gasket, and the wiring harness. I'll see about taking pictures and post prices so that you'll know what to do if this happens to you. Which I hope no one has to experience this kind of crap.

Im sorry what happened to your car, but that S**T is common here in La, because it happened to my C32.

Mercedes sells anti theft screws so they wont steal them, but I guess the cowards would just break them off and destroy the car instead.

Those parts by the way are very expensive, thank God I had my insurance pay for it.

Sorry about your loss. Had my left side view mirror stolen in a mall parking lot a few months ago. It was the glass only but the replacement for the C300 W204 was $850 (Glass only) from the stealership. Got it slightly used off ebay for $150 from a guy in Poland. So do try ebay & good luck...

Man, that sucks. Good luck.

So far, I haven't been able to find exactly what parts I need. I found some things, but I'm not sure if they're for my car. For example, I found a part number just for the glass and they have one priced as high as $450 and some as low as $95. I think I've sourced a whole one on ebay for the passenger side, but I still need to find the driver side (left).

I have a mirror for sale...right side though...let me know!

Sorry to hear about this Albert. I had this happened to me twice!

I have a bunch of miscellaneous parts in the warehouse. I will look for all the mirror covers, frames, motors and mirror glasses that I can find. You can have them at no cost.

Call me when you get a chance.

loudandheard

Thank you so much, I'll definitely call you when I get a chance.

Wow bro, that's terrible news. And to think we we're on a high note just the other weekend talking about your brakes. When you get your hands on a new set give me a ring and I'll drive over to help get everything installed.

Sorry to hear about your mirrors. I saw this on the news two weeks ago. Very sad!!

Ouch, that really sucks. Driving without side mirrors must be pretty uncomfortable - hope you are able to get replacement parts rounded up quickly. . and cheaply!

I've heard of this before, but never heard of it locally. Must be a big problem out there in Texas? I know a few years ago in Miami the big thing was stealing HID headlights out of luxury cars. Mangled hoods like soda cans to steal $1-2k headlights in mall parking lots.

That right there is the reason for the theft. Something that easy to steal being worth that much.

I managed to get all the parts for about $250 total more or less. Big thanks to Carlos for the help. I'm currently still waiting on a few parts but I should have every thing put together soon. I'll make sure to post some pics.

I guarantee you that the only part that they were interested from the the side view mirrors were the outer housings that have the turn signals and that's it. Every thing else gets thrown away. The ridiculous part is that the mirror alone is worth more than every thing that they stole and broke.

I have a C230 Kompressor model and had my side mirrors stolen a while ago. After they were replaced (and were quite expensive) I did a complete search of the Internet and was able to find what are called Side Mirror Guards for this model (called a C203 in India) and for other models and cars as well/

This is evidently a problem there in parking lots, especially with models where you can just pop out the mirror without a lot of force and damage to the mirror cover. I managed to contact the company and to get the guards and install them. They are made of steel, look good and seem to work.

You can see them at:

I have been in contact with the Mr. Suleman Shaik at the following email address:

So far, so good.

I wish there was death penalty for theft
We have absolutely no need for people like that in an already overpopulated world.

Yes I get THAT annoyed when I hear things like this. GL with fixing it.

lhersh

-------------------------

It's all been fixed and I got these Side Mirror Guards (that I mentioned in my previous message) that look like they'll prevent that from happening again. There's no way to find the original thief. I came out the next morning to get into my car and there were no mirrors.

The driver side mirror was this special light sensitive glass (they said) and cost 4 times as much as the passenger side to replace.

loudandheard

I did all the repairs myself, but one of my wiring harness still is a bit damaged and my turn signal does not work, but I think I may have a fix for it. I still have horrible scratches and a slight indentation where they were trying to pry off my side view mirror.
