I don't know how I contained myself not to let out an eardrum bursting scream of disgust! I mean for f***'s sake, it's a MIRROR!!!! Happened in North Concord BART, I just bought a house in Concord CA and been parking there for a couple of months now. Funny thing... prior I used to park in West Oakland Bart, not exactly the safest of places, and have left the car overnight several times. Not a thing happened to it...

Anyway, they took the mirror glass only. Looks like they pried it away from the housing. Been looking around for a replacement but not too sure how to tackle this. There are several glass only parts on ebay but they aren't OEM and not sure of the fit. Entire mirror assemblies with the housing and all I've seen cost quite a pretty penny...
I'm guessing the glass was glued? Not too sure...
It's a '93 J30T

Yes the glass is glued...I bought the replacement from Ebay...it fits perfectly...it cost about $15 delivered
The mirror was made by Burco RediCuts, it was their model #3567 Convex, which I believe is the passenger side...works perfectly!

or you can go to a junkyard. Oakland, richmond pick and pull will probably be the cheapest if you need one right now. They'll sell it to you with the complete housing.

I ended up getting one of the glue on mirrors on ebay. I still can't believe it! Oh well :)

Thanks all
