You should try eBay. There are always people who are selling W140 Parts.

Ebay is about the best.. I called all over the country looking for a '96 . saw several over many months, but took a while to find one in the right color. Hope your doesn't have the remote sencor in the mirror, they are way expensive. Used on ebay $450
Good luck

Drive on

Usually you don't need the plastic outside part of the mirror, just the "innards". Plastic part just comes off easily and pops onto the replacement, so you don't have to worry about color. Three screws and an electrical plug is all it takes to remove from the car.

Yea. I had to replace my right rear view mirror a couple of times on my other W140. It is not the base that needs to be replaced. As RapidG said, it is the innards that needs replacing.

Rod Spohn

OK My bad you guys are talking outside mirror. I was thinking rear view as in rear view interior. Couldn't figure out how you guys where taking the inerds out and just replacing that!

1996_S500

oh, ok. Sorry Rod Spohn. Nevertheless, eBay is still your best bet, cuz the stealership is simply too expensive

Usually the outside one are the wing mirrors and the inside teh rear view.

I need a set of side mirrors for a 97 S500.

The wiring is falling apart in mine and one of the brakets is broken.

If anyone has any or know were to get some, please let me know.

The dealer wanted $1500 for a pair installed.

Thanks

I just replaced mine and have all the parts from my old one I would send to you but I am too far away.

What parts do you have? what shape are they in?

Let me know what you want for them.

Thanks

NZ_Benz

I have all the parts the mirror is black.There is a mark on the glass in the right corner where it hit the floor. (That may not be so bad for you guys a you are LHD)

The problem with mine is that the mounts that hold the clips which hold the glass in place are broken. You could glue it together.

I think it may be in your interests to just troll ebay as the shipping from New Zealand to the US would make it not worth it.

My left-side exterior rearview mirror is permanently dimmed. I have delayed replacing it.

How does one remove only the mirror?

Thanks for the offer, I didn't realize you were that far a way.


As for removing the there is a metal clip at the top which needs to be removed and then the mirros un snaps from the mount.

I couldn't work it out so I got my mechanic to do it . He did it for free though he is a real good guy.

http://www.4mercs.co.nz/ check out these guys. they ship all around the world and with the US$ vs NZ$ you can get a great deal. plus our postage in no where as expensive as the US. I get all my parts from them and they are cheap.

NZ_Benz

This is the place I got mine from (thanks for the reco Photoman) It cost me all up with postage $360NZ, It was cheaper than the dealer, to be honest I would be tempted to buy a 2nd hand one as the mirrors for these cars seems to be stupidly exspensive. Even the guy at the dealership was suprised. But if you do want a new one go to these guys, you can't fault the service.

photoman

they sure are great. been using them for years now
