Hello
Don’t ask me how but somehow the glass for my passenger side wing mirror has gone walk abouts. My guess is some untowards had it away. The wing mirror itself is intact, and all the wires and stuff look fine, so I only need the glass.
I have the winter pack, so the wing mirror glass is heated and electronically adjustable, plus the wing mirrors fold in electronically too (don’t know if this makes any difference to the type of glass but I thought it best to give you all the information).
Any idea if you can just buy the glass and if it is easy enough to fit, or do I need to buy a whole new wing mirror?

Just buy the correct mirror, hook up the wires to the back of it and simply clip it by attaching firm pressure to the middle part of it.

Awesome, I have gone a brought myself a replacement piece of glass with the plastic backing plate, but as it is heated I want to make sure I wire it up properly. Can anyone tell me which way round the wires go? I know there is a blue and a red/brown wire, just need to know where they go in the actual glass.
