Just got the european side mirrors (glass only). Is there a DIY how to replace the side mirrors? I looked in there but no luck. Did any one try it before ot should I get the car to the dealer to do the work?

What do you mean, "glass only"? I thougth european mirrors had the "bifocal" quality to them, so you don't develop that wierd "objects are closer than they appear" phenomenon.

I know that the change outer trim diy involves taking the mirror off the side of the car, so that may help you.

what I meant by glass only is the mirror itself and not the whole hosuing and covering of the mirror.
