2001 Taurus SE, Driver’s side mirror cracked. Can just the glass be replaced or does the whole thing have to be replaced? ---

You need to get the old glass off, though. Do you know how to do it? ---

Terry , You Tube has lots of videos showing how to replace just the mirror or you could call a local auto glass shop for an estimate. ---

per VOLVO-V70’S advice had one on one of my heavy trucks with a big mirror break I went to the local glass shop and he cut a new one and glued it in I think it was about 20$ and about 25 minutes to do the job that was about 15 years ago so might be a little higher now. ---

I had the right hand mirror glass fall out of the mirror on my 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass. I ordered ba replacement glass for the mirror from the Oldsmobile dealer. When it came in and I removed the backing paper, the adhesive had dried out and wouldn’t stick. I took the car to the body shop at the Chrysler/Plymouth dealer where I had done business before. The manager said he had a glass shop technician coming that afternoon to replace a windshield and he would have the glass shop technician fix the mirror. The body shop manager asked me what I had paid for the replacement glass. When I told him, he said that was way too high. When I picked up the car, there was no charge. He said I had already been stung by the parts department at the Oldsmobile dealer. He said the best solution is to have the glass shop cut a new glass and the cost would be a lot less. ---

I pulled the old one off and put a new one in, but it was an Olds Silhouette. You should check the YouTube videos for your Taurus. You might also consider gluing a replacement over the old one. I’d depends on how close to OEM you want it to look. ---
