add me to the list of mirror breakers

I broke my mirror today, not the houseing just the mirror, so i was wondering the procedure for changing the mirror, and an approximate cost.
Thanx for the help.

There's a guy on ebay who sells just the mirror glass for $20. I have no idea how good these are, but I'm thinking of trying one for my son's B2300 (he's had no drivers mirror for about a year ... how do you say LAZY!)

I ordered an entire new mirror from here once usautoparts. net and it was pretty cheap and real easy to install. I bet itd be easier than replacing just the glass

I bought the cheap kit off e-bay. For $20 ish I figured what the heck. All you have to do is pull off all the old pieces, put the supplied tape on the new mirror, and put back in the housing. It's literally that simple.

In the end the mirror looks 100% stock / perfect. Hope that helps

How'd you only break the glass? I destroyed my whole housing, almost took out the window glass in the process.

Off topic, where in Clayton do you live? My in-laws live there, father in law works for F&S Boatworks not far from there.
