I did some initial research and found a nice video on mercedesxxxxxxxx.com which covered removing and repairing the manual driver side mirror on an SDL. This gave me the basis but I wanted to extend this to the passenger mirror. After studying the mirror for a few hours, I discovered how to remove glass from the mirror. Pretty simple.....Those Germans know how to make these look complicated but there not.
I bought a new switch for the original was broken and had shorted out from liquid spilt on the center console by the PO. So I installed the switch and began testing what was there. The existing mirror moved side-to-side but not up and down. I found a replacement mirror in the forum for $20.000 and bought it as a backup if something happened to the original. I removed the original from the car and started disassembling the mirror.
So, I first started with a manual mirror, and used a plastic body prybar to remove the glass from the mirror housing. The glass pivots towards the outside edge and the adjusters are toward the front. Place the prybar near the pivot point towards the outside edge.
