Broken key for MB S320 2000

Glass(plastic) tip of the key is shattered and it doesn't work. Where to get a new key? Are there any other options but dealers? I have contacted local dealer and the prices he quoted sounded rediculous.

The dealer is the only place to get one made & yes they are ridiculously priced about $900 for my jag and you will also need to provide proof of ownership (title and/or registration). hope this helps

How do i replace a broken front passenger side window thats shattered.

you will need to pull the panel off, look for screws in the door handle and arm rest, may be some on the outer part of the panel and then the rest is snapped in, just take a flat tip and go around the outside of the panel. Panel is off, then it is just a matter of getting all the glass vacuumed out. It may be easier and cheaper to have a glass place do it for you. Hope this helped Tim

I cant open the real tailgate door on my 95 odyssey, The locking button goes up and down OK, but when I pull on outside handle, nothing happens. I did just have the rear window,which had broken,...

Try shaking the door real hard and work the latch. You may be able to shatter the glass if its the cause of it sticking. Try the key and the fob to actuate it and if you have a trunk switch up front work it also.

Need to replace the passenger side mirror,glass only. does anybody know if the plastic backing plate the mirror is attached to pops out of the holder? If it does, it would make it easier to fit the new...

Just replaced the mirror glass myself. Don't have all the answers but can tell you this much.

The passenger side mirror on my 2004 Odyssey was hit by a projectile which caromed off the upper door frame. Left standing was a functional mirror base (motor driven part which has four, short, horizontally mounted rods) still attached to the mirror shroud and a separate assembly of the mirror glass and plastic mount.

I purchased the mirror glass alone online from a Honda dealer, removed the old mirror glass from the mount, and mounted the new mirror to the mount. To do this, look at the tabs which hold the mirror to the mount, and slide the mirror across the mount in the obvious direction. It will take some force. I had the benefit of having the mount/mirror glass blown out of the mirror shroud so it wasn't too difficult. If the broken mirror is still mounted to the mount and inside the shroud, push the bottom of the mirror inward so the top edge of the mirror can clear the top of the shroud. Then pull up on the mirror glass to slide it off the mount. This will take some force but fortunately, the mirror glass is already broken so you don't have to be gentle. Wear gloves or protect you hands while doing this.

Reverse the process for install the new mirror glass.

Now for my key tip. I had to remount the plastic mount/mirror glass assembly onto the motorized mirror base. I could see that it snapped in, with proper alignment, by pushing straight in. I applied quite a bit of force and simply could not get it to snap in place. My solution, was to put the assembly in a 200F oven for 15 minutes to heat the plastic to make it more flexible. Using paper towels to handle to avoid burns, I aligned the closures with the four, small, horizontally mounted rods, and with a moderate amount of force, the assembly snapped into place.

Hope this makes sense. I believe most people will only have broken mirror glass and not have the plastic mount with mirror glass come off the motorized base as I did.

2006 Mustang GT Convertible

The rear window for that top is a seperate curtain.
Replacement is best left to a professional.
You should cantact an automotive trim shop (upholstery) for them to quote it.

The way it is replaced, you have to take the top loose, roll it forward, replace the window curtain, reinstall the top. Depending on the condition if the top, it may need replacement also. That is best determined by the shop that does the work.
This is not recommend as a DIY project. I worked in a trim shop for years, and they are not easy.
