Hi everyone sucks to say 3 months in with my new to me car 2014 E550 and already had mirror glass stolen (Blind spot version).

I filed a police report and will call my insurance but I doubt it will be covered unless I pay deductible which is high.


What should I do I checked mb parts department in nyc and driver side is $918 and passenger side is $157.

That cant be right what makes the driver side so expensive?

Not sure what is a cheaper alternative that is as good as oem or better?

Ebay or amazon what to look for?

idk if an earlier model of w212 side mirror glass would work but they start at around 150 and up , that is a whole lot cheaper. id say ebay is the way to go.

+1 on ebay. I mean really - who steals a side mirror. Did they do any damage to the car when removing it?

This is why I keep a low deductible on comprehensive. In my case, the premium increase is small and paying out of pocket for something that isn't your fault like vandalism, etc. just makes it worse.

I am having trouble finding one for 2014 models.

I keep seeing European version but listed as 2010-2012 only.

Is there any difference between 2012 versus 2014 both having blind spot assist.

PM or post VIN to confirm, I believe part #s are left 2128101521 (new $649 + shipping https://www.parts.com), right 2128101421 ($94.40).

eLs13

WDDHF9BB0EA857365 is the VIN

Not sure if I have auto dimming and heated or just heated or just auto dimming.

Only thing I know I have is Blind Spot Assist.

eLs13

Thank you so I have autodimming on drivers side and have heated mirrors.

konigstiger

2128101521 & 2128101421 are correct.

eLs13

Thanks for the help much cheaper price but that is still too high of a price $745 for both so I have to think about it.


I am looking at this one since shipping is faster but he stated no connector on driver side for dimming but has autodimming on post. I am assuming just the ports to connect but I still have the housing and connectors not damaged on my car.

Is this okay or just go with the first link I sent.

Faster shipping but weird description on no connector

the original one for 120 looks like a steal....i hope you already bought it and it was shipped lol

eLs13

Thanks just bought the one for 120 I just hope it gets here sooner than estimated.

Will let you know how it goes.

belarus27

it says may 1st-19th shipped to CA.
i would assume if it gets shipped today 2 weeks is doable.
good luck.

Driving without mirrors now adjusted the rearview mirror to see the left side behind me and using my head for the right side for now.

What's in the left front mirror that is not in the right front one to justify 6 to 8 times (depending of where one gets them from) the price difference?

The G Man

Auto dimming.

blegthbloo

Auto dimming for sure is the reason for the price difference. Seems like you already got it under control but I would've suggested to get the Euro version if possible... wider angle view, can see across 3 lanes of traffic if you position it right, and they do come with the blind spot assist feature. And mine were much cheaper than the US version. I have my OEM ones in a box somewhere, but no blind spot assist. As for why they were stolen, "some men just want to watch the world burn"

The G Man

The OP's stolen mirror will probably be on sale in Ebay soon

drwolf

well at least you have over the shoulder and the rear view is wide enough where you can see too (from my experience w/the W212)

eLs13

Forgot to update this thread received my mirrors in a week and it was the Euro version.

Looks good thanks everyone.

So first official mod to the car in a way.
