Wing mirror theft
Took delivery of a brand new L462 last month. Left car parked in a public area this afternoon and returned to find that my driver's mirror had been ripped out including cutting the wires that connected the housing to the mirror (for heating, proximity warning etc. I guess). Camera still works and mirror folds. Am gutted!
Has anyone else experienced this? I can't find replacement parts on-line so I'll have to contact the dealer on Monday. It looks like I will have to replace more than just the glass mirror as the thieves cut the wires and took the connectors. I am sure that the part will cost a fortune but is it a DIY job to fit a new unit? Any advice appreciated.

You'll probably have to replace the complete unit. Besides that, they're readily available second hand, it's can certainly be done DIY. It's not a difficult job...
Found a couple of second hand units on eBay...official replacements from LR are a ridiculous price. With a second hand unit, you'd just need to pop your mirror cap off and clip it onto the replacement.

There are more around so have a scoot around eBay or second hand parts dealers...even a visit to a local scrappie can turn up wonders
