You can order just the glass from EAC Tuning. I think it is in the $50-$60 range.

takes all of 1min...srs...


adjust the mirror all the way one way. take your finger and pry inbetween the housing and glass to remove glass (if your glass was there)

then just plug in the heating element wiring and push the glass into place.

scratch that...all of 20sec.

not at all, about 10 seconds, connect the two heater wires then align the for tabs on the glass to the open spots in the black circular thing and snap in..
