Best wing mirror glass

[Theog]

Afternoon all

Does this look about right?

Im thinking of buying two, just in case there are colour differences.

Just the glass fell off / broken. Still has that black leaf behind it, so i assume these will stick back on ok.

Just want to be sure in case others have different advice.

Thanks

I needed it asap, so went for this one instead - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390932207725

Only 1 side, but it turns out my other mirror was not blue, so didnt go for it in the end.

Stupid question here, but how do you know if the side mirror is heated or not (without ripping it apart)?

The black rubber covers the heating element - I listened to the advice of world wiser members which was 'don't pull the rubber off' (good in a number of circumstances). I just cleaned all the bits of old glue off it with surgical spirit (a well known universal solvent in our house for cleaning and removing ticks from dogs; but not as good with lemonade as meths!) so the rubber was clean. I used double sided gorilla tape to fix the glass. Did it a year ago still in place.

I think the mirror heaters are always on (bless you BMW) which is why the adhesive failure rate is so high. Easy job only takes a few minutes.

Wow, always heated. Nice.

As you said that would make sense why they fall off then.

The one I have bought has a self adhesive back to it, so hopefully just a clean up and stick (cross fingers).
