Re: Side view mirror -- No problem!

[Toby Erkson <Toby_Erkson@ccm2.hf.intel.com>]

I needed to replace my mirror (just the glass part) so I just took my 
mirror off and took it to an auto glass shop.  They installed a new mirror, 
with a seal of course.  Picked it up that afternoon.  It's probably cheaper 
than buying the whole shootin' match.  Still lookin' behind me after 9 
years.

Leave the mounting clamp in the body, just take along the mirror housing 
piece when you go to the shops so they know exactly what yer talkin' 'bout. 
 If a particular shop you visit can't do it ask them who can.  Maybe even 
your mechanic can recommend a place.

The door side-view mirror fell-off my car today while driving along
the freeway
(sob, sob, sob).  It was only the glass part of the mirror that fall off, and
the mounting and mirror body remained intact.

The question is...where do I get a replacement?  Does anyone have
a used one to
sell...either the glass part, or the whole assembly?

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks,
