The mirror glass on my 95 EVC passenger side mirror fell off while driving recently. Is there a replacement glass source, or, should I just take the van to a local glass shop and have one made? |

An entire new mirror will likely be cheaper, copy pasting my response on another forum about dealing with this:
I bought a pair from a seller in Latvia, where warehouses of euro parts go to retire.

Right: https://www.ebay.com/itm/332729966940
If you add both of them to your cart and "request total" you will get a shipping quote that's lower than if you ordered individually. They're not quite the same as the originals, but all new with glass, heat, power adjusters, etc. Very nice, especially at that price.
It did take over a month to receive them, but I was fine with that. |

My glass in the right hand, rearview mirror fell out and broke. I ordered a replacement off eBay from either Latvia or Lithuania. It arrived promptly, and it glued on just fine. No need to replace the entire assembly. _________________ Larry in OB

I replaced my entire assemblies because the original mirrors were in tough shape, having been dinged up over the years and being kind of floppy as a result. Also the adjustment motors were shot, and this way I got new ones for $40 per side + shipping. |

That ^^ is a bargain! The glass alone was ~$15 or so. Good job sleuthing that item. _________________ Larry in OB

Get the Part number (from www.7zap.com or other method) and then google search and search on eBay. |
