Mirror Glass broken
Posted: Fri May 29, 2009 12:49 am
Some idiot smashed the drivers side mirror glass on the polo today, squeezing through an immpossible gap going too fast (girlfriend was driving not me or I'd have chased them, feckers!).
Our Polo is a 1.4 Match so I guess they are not heated & from memory not blue tinted either? Just needs to be the type that fit onto the electric motor in the housing I think as the mirrors are leccy. Luckily the cover, housing & motor are all fine, just need new glass.
Question is, whats the difference in buying Gen VW glass or going to Halfruads to get a replacement? Anyone know the costs roughly too?
I remember replacing one on my MK4 golf but that was electric/tinted/ heated etc & was expensive so Im hoping for good news on the cost front guys...
Many thanks
