I guess he broke the housing, not just the glass?

For new check http://www.everythinginfiniti.com

or used search salvage yards at http://www.car-part.com

Nice of you to let the guy go! I would have probably lost it...

Its funny you mention this. One week after I purchased my old E320, I was driving and a CLS was behind me, I felt pimp till my drivers side view mirror fell out . I pulled over only to find it cracked with that black liquid seeking out. I was embarrassed . They wanted something like 3 to 4oo dollars just for the mirror. I went to a store and they try to sell me a temp one for $150. I then went to Autozone and purchased this $6 cheapo mirror and placed it one. The guy at the store said it wont last but a couple of days. Well to my surprise I used it the entire ownership of the car no one even noticed at all and its still on the car even after the major accident.......

I love the fact that the Q45 has folding mirrors. I use this feature 100%. I do feel stupid some times walking around the car to fold and unfold them, but at least no one is just gonna knock them off.....Hopefully

I don't like your solution since i hate MBZ. Sorry I never have had a problem with a mirror so i guess its ok for the gradual $300... Any one have a spare on sitting around?

This actually was a temp fix till I found the right heated mirror, because not all of them where heated. The dealer wanted me to purchase entire assembly. After a couple of weeks using the $6 mirror I figured what the heck it works.
