My remote on my 1996 e300d soemtimes will not even work right at the door pointing it at the mirror. Is the mirror the only reciever on the car? (I just replaced the batteries too and it was of no help)

Yes.
The mirror will be expensive.

If you have a receiver in the mirror, it's the only one you have. Try synchronizing the remote.

I tried the re- synchronizing process. It did not help.

For ~$180 it might be the remote. To check the remote you can buy a real cheap sensor that will light up when the IR hits it. If you don't always get a signal it might be your remote and not the reciever in the mirror. I think Radio Shack has them to make sure your TV etc remotes are functioning. Maybe a google search may offer a homemade IR tester using a potato, orange juice and an old shoe?
