Broken Glass-Towing Mirror

Bumped my passenger side mirror backing out of the garage today and broke the glass. Anyone know if the mirror glass can be purchased somewhere? Looks like it is held in place with double-back tape. Seems insane to replace the entire unit.<br><br>Thanks...

Check your local Yellow-Pages for a glass shop in your area.<br>Betcha it's gonna be cheaper there than at the Dodge dealer.

Shovelhead has the right idea. Call around to the glass places and they will probably even come to you for less than the ******* gets for just the glass.<br>Tom

Allot of auto stores carry the replacement mirror glass...I use the sticky tape and silicone to put it back on then tape the glass in place until its cured

Re:Broken Glass-Towing Mirror

Broke the RH mirror glass on my Infiniti I30 recently. Could not find a replacement so made a template and took it to a glass shop. They made a mirror to match. I glued it on with silicone and you have to look really hard to see that there is glass on glass. Prefer this to the original &quot;Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear&quot;.

Dealer will want about $150 bucks for the mirror. Glass place will get about $5.<br>

Found a place on the web for replacement mirror glass at http://www.automirrors.net. Towing mirror is $22.15 +shipping. I thought this was quite reasonable and ordered online.<br><br>-Vic
