Backing out of the garage, my wife got a little too close to the garage door track and and smashed the passenger mirror housing (back and front). The mirror guts appear to be intact - mirror glass, motors etc.

Info on this forum seems a little skimpy for this problem....

C'mon guys, I'm sure this has happened a bunch of times. Fess up. With how far the mirrors stick out on a wide vehicle, I was betting it was a matter of time, and yesterday was the time.

I'd appreciate part numbers for the plastic housing, front and back, suggestions for where to buy the parts, and tips for removal/replacement.

Thanks,
Al

Either special order here OR from a dealer. Otherwise try a MB "boneyard".

I would disassemble first to make sure that ANY parts are reuseable.
Most likely a used one would be the least $$$

Several used ones here - http://www.car-part.com/index.htm

Thanks for the tip.

In the daylight, disassembly was easy and logical (because the thing came off in my hands) EXCEPT for the little tiny star-shaped screw at the location shown.

Anyone know how to order the screwdriver for that? I can't get close enough to measure it, and I prefer not to force it.

Thanks.

Answered my own question - so THAT'S why I bought that Torx set a few years ago.
