side mirror replaement

so i have looked at half dozen different side mirror replacement vids on yt and i am not seeing my w210 style/configuration as the videos show- which they show like 2 or 3 different styles, from the various years im suspecting...

but my mirrors need replacing, heater & motion stuff works, just theyre ugly looking mirrors.

so i have two new ones, and want to put in easily.

come to find out that the psgr side frame/cradle may be broken....but the driver side is the worse and id like
to get that done so 1) i know how to do it, and 2) so i can do them both


so here is pics of what i have. i dont have the locking mech i see in the videos that guys are referring/showing.

pls thx

got the plastic cover off, and now exposed the mirror and heater plate.. so i popped off the tip spring and the glass is starting to come off the heating plate

do i just pull off, or is there another something i need to do>?

Just slide it off. The glass is held on by plastic hooks and a metal catch. The plastic gets old and breaks and the metal catch can fall off and disappear.

geese louise-it just cant get any better

so i figure all that out- got the psgr mirror replaced YAY!!!

over to driver side. the mirror i got - for 99 w210---in fcat i got both mirrors from same seller and same description

but the psgr mirror is only one that has same plug...what is different or why is my driver side different plug than the psgr side?

its a tethered adapter versus a mounted adapter

see pic


so what is the difference between the two
