Doug,

That might be a worthy project to attempt. I've only glued replacement
mirrors over broken mirrors.
I suppose you could glue the mounting ring to a new mirror the same way VW
did. Any idea what
is involved in moving the heating element as well? The manual mirror is
smaller so it should work
in the powermirror housing. The only such repairs/mods I've seen has been
gluing the manual mirror
glass over the cracked powermirror glass.

Cheers,
