My mirror was hit on the street. The glass is cracked, and it's hanging in there loosely but I don't need to replace the casing or anything (hopefully)...

Has anyone replaced their side mirror themselves? Any DIY for this?? Any help would be great, thanks!

 

take it to a glass shop- they will cut a new piece of mirror glass and install it for pretty cheap

 

Read this thread for some help:

why...., that piece of glass is probably only like $30 from acura, with the whole motor and everything being oinly a couple of $ more

 

sorry motor and such does not come as an assembly anymore, it did on a 92 if you so wanted it, with the glass like $28 and then including the motor itself was like $32 or something stupid

but anyways OP, try this http://www.hondapartsunlimited.com/i...&submit=submit

$29.93 plus shipping, a little more at your local dealer, but then you don't have to pay shipping though, so up to you where you want to get it, but either way should cost less then $40

 

btw that includes a new heating element on the glass portion itself, so can't complain about that price lol

and as far as the glass itself coming out, it should be like one or so screw, then normally the whole motor with the glass pops out, then you unhook the glass itself from the motor assembly

 

and acyually looking at it, you might actually just set the mirror in the full down position, and pointed to the outside, then just give it a little tug to pop it right out, then just pop in the new one

 

sorry you put the mirror upwards but:
