Yes this again. The wife shattered the glass in the drivers side mirror ( 07 Escalade EXT) backing out of the garage :013: She called dealership and they would replace the broken glass, not the whole mirror cause its okay, for.......$400!
I went on ebay and have a new glass coming for ......$29.95. After some research it looks to be a 5 minute job to replace it that dosent even require tools, you push in and up on old mirror, reverse to replace new one.
Again GM :icon_fU:

The $30 glass is only a stick-on over the broken glass. You will not have the heat or auto-dimming anymore. Some places sell the oem mirror with the backing that snaps on to the mirror motor for around $100. I helped a friend with one a few years ago. Not sure of the cost these days.
$400 is a normal charge for a dealer. Big overhead to cover.

A friends Silverado got damaged by hail and the new entire replacement mirror with turn signal was $700.

I will 2nd that as I bought one for a 2011 Avalanche that my daughter Knocked off instead of claiming it on the insurance. It hurt.

Took my Chrysler 300 SRT8 to the car wash, and they broke the drivers mirror. (Power,heated, w/auto tint)
They owner said "no problem, we'll pay to fix it!" He almost had an heart attack when the dealer called him with the bill!
He did take care of it, think only because I go there a lot.
