Default Rear view mirror

Hey all,
Does anyone have a rear view mirror for sale? I have a '98 XK8. I believe pre 2000's work.
Mine has a 5/6 wire yellow plug.
Any help appreciated.
Also, is there somewhere on the forum that people sell parts?
Rob

Follow this link to the Forum Marketplace. There is a fellow parting out an XK8 listing interior parts.

If your mirror isn't physically damaged I can post a link to a company that overhauls them.

You might also consider a mirror with a Rear View Monitor. My mirror was bad, and I replaced it with one of these. My XK8 didn't have all the fancy features like Light dimming, etc, so I didn't lose anything , but gained the rear view.

Comes with a WiFi camera, so no wires to loop through the cab,and the power for the mirror comes from the stock plug. Included was an adapter that fit the stock windshield mount.

Email the folks at Sybesmas and they will send a check sheet for mailing the mirror for repair

I have 2 functioning mirrors with the yellow plug that you are looking for. They are from a '97. PM me if you still have a need & we can work something out.

I struggled with justifying the cost of repairing mine and settled on a $11 mirror that clips over the existing mirror. I don't have the auto dimming feature but I rarely drive at night so its no big deal for me. Just throwing the idea out there if anyone else wants a low cost alternative.
