So my driver side mirror broke . I thought i would only need to change the back cover of it but by the looks of it, i am going to have to change the whole housing.

what would be the best way to fix this?
Should i try to look for parts online and try to do it at home, if so where? or should i go to a local autoshop or dealership..

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you.

I would just source a good, used housing. More than likely the internals (mirror, mirror adjustment motor, heating element) is all still good. Just the plastics is all you'll need.

Thanks.
where would be the best place to find a good used housing?
I looked online but this unit seems to be very limited.
I live in Canada and the US currency is preventing me from purchasing it in the states.

I had to replace the housing on mine, and tried to look for used ones on ebay, etc but found nothing really. I ended up calling my local dealership with my VIN and getting the correct part number and color match and ordering through their parts department online. It cost $75 USD for the front and back piece (housing only), painted and brand new. Not sure what the prices would be for Canada but this is by far the best option versus buying a cheap replacement and painting yourself or taking it to an autobody shop.
