After some **** smacked my wing mirror yesterday I need new glass, I don't want to just chuck one of these generic bits of glass over the top as this has already been done on the passenger side and the heater doesn't work as well. I've seen a few on ebay which are half the price of OEM ones but just wondering if anybody has used these and do they fit perfectly, if they do I can do both sides for the price of one OEM part.

You'll find plenty on ebay half the price of the OEM ones, but unless they state that they're actual genuine wingmirror glass all you'll get is sticky back glass. Best to go to a stealer unfortunately.

You could always try get a second hand one off ebay.

Or if you can find an ebay listing that actually states it's original equipment then great.

I have found one supplier on Ebay that has heated glass mirrors for about £9 each.

Damn it's never easy is it, do you know what the differences are as I only have mine as a reference.

its the way the plastic clips line up on the back of the glass.the tabs.cant really say.they line up in two different ways.when you remove yours describe it to the motor factors or take it in.they can get em easy.
