A friend broke my mirror glass on my Dodge Ram

Dealer wants £550 plus the Vodka because I have to buy a complete unit as the glass is not available seperately.

Think I'm gonna go beat my friend up

Have a look on rockauto.com.

Alternatively I got just the glass for my truck mirrors from the parts guys at David Boatright.

The other possibility is finding a suitable area of glass in halfords and tehy will cut it to shape - may be difficult if the mirror is large though and don't forget you need the glass from the opposite side of the car or your reflections will be the wrong distance away.

ebay motors, the US site not the uk, my stupid pc seems to try to deny the US site exists and redirects me to the uk one.

I have a big Chevy and EVERYTHING is available over there while nothing is here !

IIRC if you take in a cardboard cutout of your mirror into Halfords they used to have a service that they will get it cut for you.

All you will need to tell them is that your existing mirror is either flat, convex, or aspheric (blind spot) glass.

On your template mark it with FRONT for the side you want.

HTH.

For info I worked in the automotive mirror cutting industry for 6 years. smile

Pm me ur vin and what side you need and ill see if my discount can get a better price for you. Saying that it will still be a fair old price just for a mirror glass.
