I managed to rip off the passenger side mirror on my 99 e320 4matic wagon. I have the housing, but need to replace the innards. Looks like t simple screws to take off the old and insert the new. The internet has a ton of options, though. Do I have to use the most expensive ULO version or can I go with the cheaper Kool-Vue? Will my old housing fit the cheaper Kool-Vue??? Thanks!!!

trying to help but dont know what a ULO or Kool-Vue verbiage means.

Thanks Raymond! They're manufacturer names...I think. They are the 2 different brands that came up when I googled for a new mirror. Any help would be appreciated

oh, okay, i get it. i've only had hands on with the OEM parts so unsure how
best to advise.

removing the whole assembly from the door is two part: 1) remove plastic
mirror cover, 2) reaching through mirror guts with long shank, remove two
screws - top one, then the one nearest the back of car, 3) fold mirror unit
against spring tension and carefully remove last screw nearest front of car.

i would like to think that aftermarket parts would be compliant with OEM
mirror cover, but that's just a guess.

Thanks! This is a great help. Now I just need to figure out my cheapest option!

This seems to be it, but I'm not sure it'll fit a 1999 4 matic. Not too concerned about all of the functionality, just want the mirror to work.
