sl 500 inside rear view mirror

[Bill Bates]

What is the trick to remove the mirror from a 1996 SL500? And does anyone know where I can locate a good used one?

Thank You

The trick is to pry/snap it out. There are pictures of how to do it in the forum archives. Do a search on rear view mirror.

Bill, Phil Here.. I finally located a replacement Rear view Mirror for My 500SL, As all SL owners know the Mirrors are very expensive at the dealers and very hard to find in the salvage yards. I got lucky by calling: Randy @ Stockton Auto Parts, 209-929-3905. Randy stocks and dismantles many 500 SL's, I got my Mirror and even in the color that I needed. Stockton Salvage is Great to work with and will bend over backwards to satisfy you needs. They have a web site. www.stocktonauto.com but you are better off calling Randy direct

Bill:

I also need a new mirrow. What did he charge for yours. PS, You need to get a death grip on it and yank down like you hate it, just snaps out...
