Nicely done... I had mine replaced at the stealership a couple of months ago...

 

Grrrrr.... where was this information 6 months ago, when I paid big bucks to replace mine?

That's life, I suppose.

 

So, if you have a Donnelly mirror that has gone bad you might want to call Mr. Heath Flanery, Magna Donnelly Corporation, 616-786-7495 and see what he can do for you.

Good work Steve -- They're gonna love you!!! Magna Donnelly Corp have probably got a contract out on you !! Ha Ha

 

This is awesome, but be prepaired to wait. I contacted Magna Donnelly on 9/20 and got my replacement yesterday 10/25. Took about 10 minutes to change out.

 

Wow, mine's been messed up for a few weeks and hadn't done anything about it yet. Guess I have a phone call to make.

thanks!

 

speaking of rear view mirrors. I notice that my mirror has the glare darken feature. Now, on the bottom there is a "light sensor"? I can see the little sensors that look like copper wiring there.....(are those supposed to be exposes or should there be a plastic or glass bubble there in front of it?) Again, looking at the rear view mirror, it has a little oval indention with the glare sensors. Can anyone assist? '02 slk230... thanks one and all!

I requested a replacement too for my 99 and I received the mirror yesterday. I contacted them on 9/8 and received the new mirror via FedEx on 10/24. I spoke with Heath initially, but the mirror was sent out by the contact below.

Damn...me too. My old one is sitting at the bottom of a dirt heap in N. Las Vegas I'm sure. I found my replacement on eBay for $60 shipped from the UK (NIB thankfully).

Good find though steves...kudos. I'll share this with other SLK forums if it's not already known. You'll get the credit...promise.

 

Had mine replaced last month under warranty. It wasn't leaking yet, but the mirror looked like it had smudges that you could not wipe clean. I spent about an hour waiting in the customer lounge. My SLK has been very trouble-free I'm happy to say.

 

Thanks Steves contacted them today was emailed the claim form filled it out and sent it back looking forward to my new mirror thanks again

I love this forum! I called Heath, and Dani called back and said I'd have a replacement in 2 weeks. However, what does it take to remove the mirror? I read a post that says you just put a bar or small rod into the opening toward the windshield and twist 90 degress either way. Is it that simple? I'm afraid I'll break something or pull the glue off of the windshield. Please confirm.
Thanks

 

Yes, that's how I removed mine. A small bar and simple twist. It's attached by friction only and turning it 90 degress pops it out.

 

Just noticed my mirror has 6 inch oval sized shape color(daylight color) different from the rest of the mirror(night time color) does it mean it leaked?

 

yep, looks like its bad.

 

Thanks, my MB warranty just expired last month. Will call them up.

 

Replaced mine like 2 years ago. Cash.

Got the application today and I guess I will have a spare soon, lol.

 

Dani have just emailed me for the replacement mirror .I should have the part in a few days .Christmas comes early this year yahooooooooo.

 

Me too.....just looked in my email and I have the Fedex shipping number.

 

Just received my replacement. Hope I can get it to fit without any problems. Thanks everyone for the info!!

 

Got mine...

Same here...email a few days ago about the shipment and I got the mirror an hour ago and just replaced it with intructions found on this forum...15 minutes...

You guys are the best....the forum is priceless!!!!

 

Mine came yesterday.

Have to say this company is top of the line.

Very very good.

Prompt e mails fast shipping and great service.

Wish they sold other items I need. lol

 

Mirror Reflects Good Customer Service

Thanks to the cooperative spirit on this forum and the extraordinary customer service of the Magna Donnelly Company's Dani Andriacchi, I'm another of the many satisfied SLK owners who have had an auto-dimming mirror exchanged without hassle. After reading of others' experiences, I sent off a letter and was delighted to hear from Dani by e-mail with a promise to send a new mirror despite the age of the vehicle (2000) or any other questions. If only all companies were so gracious. They've earned my respect.

One other question, however. I thought I read that the outside driver's mirror was equipped with auto-dimming as well, but I see no change. Maybe I misread but if anyone can confirm or deny the issue, please do. Thanks to all here who provided names and installation instructions with the mirror.

 

The outside mirror on my car looks like the rearview mirror which is auto dimming .I had a rough time putting the replacement mirror on because of my lack of patience and failed to review the installing instruction on line .I finally had it on correctly but I wonder if the windshield is cracking somewhere .
