My offside mirror fell off while I was polishing the car on Sunday!
What’s left is a rubber membrane that has remnants of glue on it. I know these mirrors are heated.
I ordered this,perhaps wrongly because I thought I was just ordering the mirror and not the backing plate however it is extremely well made and I wondered if I should take off the rubber, see what’s underneath and replace it with this?
Is the rubber there for waterproofing? And, if I take it off am I going to create a problem for myself later?
Or, should I just buy another mirror, stick it on with some heat resistant glue?
Any views.
Thanks

They are from eBay £11. It’s a well made and good looking mirror.
I’ve gone for just the glass. I’ll update when done

The rubber is the heating pad - if you're just replacing the glass don't remove it, just use some suitable glue or silicone that will withstand the heat
