2002 Sonata; drivers side mirror replacement. Anyone ever replaced their?
Hi group,
Been a while since I posted. Recently someone smashed my side-view mirror (driver's side) and I bought a replacement mirror. Is it a lot of trouble to replace it DIY style or is it more hassle than it's worth. Any and all help/tips appreciated. - Pavlov Check out my pics! http://www.neiu.edu/~akkoziol |

(not sure if they all do, mine does) If so, it can be a little tricky If you are really good at working on cars you should be OK. My brother replaced my heated mirror on my Dodge and it took some time. I never did it on my Sonata so I can't tell you about this model. How much did this replacement mirror cost? (in U.S.) J.W. |

It's pretty simple. Remove the triangular black plastic garnish, remove
the three screws holding the mirror in, unplug the mirror, and voila!-- off the car and in your hand. |

Yep, mine are the heated mirrors so I was a bit worried about what that side of the replacement equation would entail. I originally looked online at a bunch of "wholesale" replacement mirrors web sites whose prices ranged from 21.95 - 27.95 + shipping, but none of them ever had any in stock or told me they were discontinued. Actually, the web sites all seemed to be a from for the same company anyway. I managed to get a replacement for 21.95 + tax here in Chicago from Pilsen Auto Glass on Western Avenue. They ordered it for me and it came in about 2 days. It seems to be a pre-cut from some aftermarket replacement outfit (don't have the box in front of me so I don't know the name). I think it's still better than the $176 my dealership was asking to replace it. $55 for the part and $120 for the labor. Is that a joke or what? For 21.95 I can't complain. Even if the mirrors don't heat when I'm done with it, I refuse to get whacked with a $176 charge for a $21 part. It's just ridiculous.

Are you talking about the black windsail where the tweeter is mounted? I have removed that before where replacing the OEM speakers and it is pretty easy.
