I have a 2002 G500 and the right wing mirror glass has "fallen off" while being serviced. I called the dealer and they want over $200 for the glass and my local Mercedes recycler (Potomac German) don't have one. Does anyone have a lead on a used piece of glass? |

See what these folks charge. I've seen some very good prices from them:

From what I understand, that glass just clips in place; and the real trick is to re-clip it back without breaking it. |

I bought a driver side one at my dealer for $135 suggested retail.
If you buy it from Caliber Motors (800) 252-6877 - tell them you are a Mercedes club member, they will probably discount it 25%. |

Dutch,
Trademotion is a good website. I never saw it before. Good place to get an idea about costs. |

If you still have the glass and it is just the clips that have broken off, you can be cheap like me. I used a hot glue gun to re-attach the glass temporarily, and it has been like that for a couple months. If you use hot glue instead of adhesive you can throw a heat gun to it and release the glass to get the mirror mechanics. |
