Broken Glass in my door mirror - it's going to be one of those days

easy

Bad start to the day, on the school run this morning, caught my door mirror on another car (first time I've done that in years). Only damage is the glass has broken in my mirror. No marks on the other car at all, not even scratched the paint on my mirror housing, and the electric adjustment seems to work OK.

It's a heated mirror, so I guess I need a real Renault part? Apparently £30 .

Anyone know if I can get an OEM replacement cheaper?

you used to be able to get mrrors that stuck over the original , hink halfords did them

halfords, euro car parts, ebay, scrap yard

I think you could get the glass for £5 or less and any can fit them, just study how the broken one is held in

But it's a heated mirror, won't that cause a problem?

the heated part is just two push fit connections, will add at least 5 seconds to the job!

i wouldn't worry about the heated part too much to be honest but a breakers yard will have lots, as will ebay

Thanks, yes loads on ebay. I need to make sure it's a heated replacement, cos its a lease car from motability (I'm disabled you see, not into crawling round breakers yards).

most breakers yard will take it off for you or even have it on a shelf, and if you slip a young lad a fiver he will fit it for you

I really wouldnt worry about the heated bit too much, theres no way of them testing that unless they freeze the mirrors when you return in
