You can buy glass for the Toyota side mirror through a local Toyota dealership. Locations like Auto Zone can also order this piece.
If you want to replace just the glass,you tilt the mirror to the inside and you depress the two tabs that hold it in.Slide the glass out and there is one tab on the back that depresses and the mirror slides out.If you want to replace the whole mirror,the handle on the remote is held on by one screw or if a non remote the plastic cover snaps off.Then there are three screws that hold it on to the door.
I just replaced a 2002 mirror. Look for covers for screw removal on the door panel. Use a screw driver to remove them then remove the screws. On the bottom of the door there are sqeeze lock clips. pliers can do the job without damage. All this has to be done because the harness is about 6" long and cannot be released without access.
If you go to www.automirrorglassonly.com it will tell you how to replace the mirror glass for the outside mirror. You can buy one there too. The outside mirror is just glued on , some parts stores sell replacement glass and you can glue the new one on
most parts stores have cheap replacement mirror glass. simply remove all traces of your old mirror glass, remove the cover to the adhesive on the back of new mirror glass, and stick in place.
To replace the mirror glass on a Ford Fiesta first remove the clips holding the mirror in place and remove the glass. Next, heat the adhesives with a hair dryer or hot gun and use a putty knife to remove the adhesive from the mirror housing. Add glue to the corners and put in new mirror. Press the mirror into place for one minute and replace the clips.
By far the easisest and least expensive method is to go to a commercial glass shop who will be able to cut, fit, and install a replacement piece of mirror far cheaper than buying the factory part.
If the mirror housing is ok, A glass shop can sell you a replacement mirror with double sided tape to replace the broken one. It even says "objects in mirror are closer than they appear"
