Broken Visor Mirror. 03 500

Has anyone had to replace a visor?

The mirror on the passenger visor is damaged, plastic hinges cracked off... Just wondering how big a deal it might be to replace it.

And if it was possible to just order the part online. I'm assuming it's a total pain in the *** and I have to go to Germany to get the part, so anything other than that will be a pleasure-

Thanks in advance!

Mine did the same thing in September. It was covered under warranty on my 03.

If its not under warranty anymore its a simple fix but you will have to get it from the dealer. Unless you can find it online but its hard finding little things like that online.

PS side broke and repaired under warranty now the DS side is broken not under warranty. It's a shame that these deffective parts/design should have to be paid for by all the users.
No easy fix that I can figure out. Glenn
