Rearview mirror replacement on a 98 ML

Has anyone replaced the rearview miror in a ML on their own? If so, where did you buy it? The dealer wants $300, which seems a bit excesive. Looked on FastLane and a couple of other placed, but could find it.

Thanks

I am assuming you have the issue where the dielelectric fluid used to activate the mirror dimming feature at night has leaked out. BTW, it's kinda corrosive, so if any gets on the console, it may mar the finish. But the mirror looks like it's tinted at the bottom and not at the top.

Someone else here posted a thread where they got the MB rep to goodwill a replacement due to the same issue.

Yep, that exactly the problem. I'm taking the ML to get the harmonic balancer replaced in a week, I'll ask the dealer. Keeping my fingures crossed.

Thanks
