W124 Outside Mirror Glass Replacement (1987 300D)
Hey all, I posted this in diesel discussion, however, it's applicable to other W124s with similar part numbers / design (manual drivers side mirror, power passenger side mirror, both electrically heated).
Tools I used:
Both my outside mirrors were scratched pretty badly. I'm not sure how it happened, as it was that way when I bought the car. Through this forum I happened upon a set of [new-in-box] OE Mercedes mirrors. This is near verbatim with the W124 FSM, albeit with greater details (and a slight problem during the install). Read on! Drivers side first...
Next, passenger side (a little more fun )
More pictures and "trouble" in the next post Oh, and I quickly took the pictures, so, some of them are a little dusty / regulators not arranged. I'm sure it'll still get the point across

Ok, so, I hit a snag when I put the new mirror on. The plastic clips for the turnstile are pretty brittle (maybe from age).
Has anyone had success with supergluing these back in place? I can remove the turnstile from the mirror housing and place it in the reglued clips, but, I'm not sure if they'd last. I put the old mirror back on without a hitch, so...I'm wondering if it's worth my time. I don't have much to lose, however, I don't feel like playing with old snap fit connections more than I have to. Or, rather, I don't feel like breaking the good ones in the mirror's housing... Comparison of backs and the newly broken mirror glass...and the old one's surface
