mirrors stolen :( pls look
hey to all
very often look the forum, but not many times post, as just not much been happening with my car till now. last night had my mirrors stolen of my 01 e320 sport
what a way to start a week. took a ride to a silverstar mercedes in lic to get a quote, and find out that both side mirrors for my car total 2,292.93 !!!!!!!!!!! WOW... so i call my insurance and get an date for inspection, will see what happens. after that i drive back home, just to see that person down my street with his 01 e320 same thing, missing mirrors!!!!! WOW... 
so to all of u here, pls watch out!!! as i ve been told by people in mercedes parts dept. that in last few weeks many people have had their mirrors stolen... sux sux sux. qst??? do any of you know any place where i can get mirrors for less, because 2300$ is lots of money, and i have a feeling it might happen again....

It seems the glass for the heated/dimming mirrors is not available seperately. My dealer complained ed about it, they took a complete mirror assembly out of stock, popped out the glass and installed it on my car. The price seems high I think it was $500 or so for a complete mirror

I can give to all an TIP what to make so that the mirrors won`t be stolen any more...
There are 3 screws...if you put the mirror back you can see them and normally you (or other people..) can put the screws out very fast and cut the cables ans the mirror is gone...
TIP: Put the mirror back so that you can see the screws. Fasten the mirror so that you don`t need to hold it by hand.
Then take a soldering gun and brazing/soldering the top of the screws...thats a fast and easy work.
NOW the screws can`t be opened...not from you and not from the stealer.
If you need anytime to open you just heat the solder and put the screwdriver into.
BUT: I think its clear that NO stealer has an soldering gun and electricity with him

Great advice! Just curious... are the stealers also wanting mirrors of 97 models??
