Broken side view mirror glass
My right side view mirror glass shattered. I want to buy just the glass and replace it. I do not know if I have side view mirror dimming or heater element.
How do I find out what my car was delivered with by just the VIN # W D B T K 7 5 J 6 5 F 1 4 4 9 6.
I would save lots of money by just replacing the glass, that is, if no dimming or heater element is installed.
Thank you

FYI, you are missing a digit in that VIN - there should be 6 digits after the last "F". Usually only the driver's side is dimmed, but both are heated. You can get a non-dimming, heated glass from parts.com (assuming you are in the USA) for under $100.

It's no big deal on the lack of heat if you don't drive in a lot of snow and ice. I'd probably not buy a heated glass if mine broke - we rarely get freezing precipitation here and besides that, I wouldn'd drive the CLK in it (that's what the wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee is for).

Only the driver's side is dimming and even that you can put a non-dimming one like I did since it's much cheaper (kind of better now at night since I have tints). You can find used one's online for like 40 50 bucks, new ones are around a 100 or so. All of the mirrors have heating feature (at least here in the US. two little tabs on the back of the mirror that these two female connectors from the housing plug into)

I have the dimming mirror which has gone all hazy due to failure of the dimming function and a replacement from a dealer is £360 !!!
Any help very much appreciated

auto dimming is the way to go but it is pricey.
i think i paid like $250 for a new one
for some reason a gouge vs. the drivers side
