Friends: 0 | Re: drivers side mirror scratched Speaking generally not prius or Toyota specifically I think that they sell universal mirror shapes in advanced auto parts. To remove it you heat it up with a heat gun to soften the glue and then gently pry it out. |

thanks for the link. this may work fine, but i am kind of hesitant to replace it because (like you said) it is a heated mirror glass, so i would lose that functionality. maybe I can try polishing the glass to remove the scratches? what polishing compound can i try? I cannot believe that toyota does not sell the glass only! there got to be someone who is in aftermarket business who makes aftermarket mirror glass. | |

Friends: 0 | Re: drivers side mirror scratched Try a salvage yard. Buy any 04-09 mirror assembly and then take the glass and wiring out of it. |

Friends: 22 | Re: drivers side mirror scratched I think your choices are: 1. You can get OEM mirror glass only (Toyota does make it). Cost is $45 at parts.com: 2008 Toyota Prius Mirror glass - Parts.com 2. Get aftermarket mirror glass that's supposedly the same shape as OEM and that you stick on. Here's one for $20: 04-09 TOYOTA PRIUS DRIVER MIRROR GLASS:eBay Motors (item 390101404484 end time Nov-01-09 12:05:14 PST) 3. Search eBay or salvage yards for just the mirror glass or the whole mirror assembly. Here's a current eBay search results for "Prius driver mirror" which has some stick on mirror glass and whole mirror assemblies: prius driver mirror, great deals on eBay Motors on eBay!
