AUTO-DIMMING MIRROR GLASS · MELBOURNE
Auto-Dimming Mirror Glass Replacement — Melbourne
Auto-dimming, or anti-glare, mirror glass senses the light behind the car and darkens to cut glare. It is a more advanced part than plain glass, and it is priced accordingly.
Car Mirror Man replaces auto-dimming mirror glass on site across metro Melbourne, and in many cases for less than a dealership charges.
As Featured In
Auto-dimming mirror glass replacement in Melbourne is a different job from replacing plain glass. If your car has an anti-glare mirror, the glass controls how much light reaches your eyes, so the replacement has to be the right part for your car.
We replace auto-dimming glass on site, and in many cases we can do it for less than a dealership. The glass on its own is the part that costs, so it is worth knowing what you are quoted for.

All Mirror Parts
We can replace and repair mirror motors, covers, glass and indicators so when you are told by others that you need to replace the whole unit, give us a call first and let us advise on the most cost effective and convenient course of action.
What auto-dimming glass costs in Melbourne
Auto-dimming glass on its own typically sits between $600 and $890, because the electronics are built into the glass. That is the price range for the glass alone, and fitting is on site. A complete mirror unit is quoted per vehicle.
| What is broken | What we do | Typical cost* |
|---|---|---|
| Auto-dimming glass only | The anti-glare glass panel, matched to your car and fitted on site. | $600–$890 |
| Glass only | Correct ADR-compliant glass cut and fitted to your existing backing plate. | from $135 |
| Cover / housing | Outer cap swapped, glass and motor kept. | $150–$300 |
| Full mirror, plain | Whole assembly, manual or basic powered mirror. | $200–$350 |
| Full mirror, powered | Electric adjust, power fold or integrated indicator. | $350–$500 |
| Blind-spot, camera or auto-dim | Mirrors carrying driver-assist electronics. | Quoted per vehicle |
*Indicative bands. The auto-dimming glass range depends on your vehicle. Send a photo for a fixed price before any work starts. Every band here comes from our national price guide — the single source of truth for what we charge. Read the full side mirror replacement cost guide.
Check whether you actually need a complete mirror. If the dimming glass has failed or cracked but the housing and motor are fine, the glass is the part to replace, and it is often cheaper than a dealership.
The Anatomy
What’s inside a car side mirror
Five parts that can fail independently — and only one that’s usually broken. That’s where the money-saver hides.
The 5 layers of a modern car side mirror — when only layer 1 is broken, you only pay for layer 1.
What to know before you replace auto-dimming glass
Because the electronics sit in the glass, a few things matter more than they do on a plain mirror.
The glass is specific to your make, model and side. We confirm it from a photo.
If the housing is damaged as well, we tell you before we start.
Some auto-dimming mirrors are also heated, and the replacement has to carry both.
Each side has its own glass and curvature.

Glass that darkens automatically when headlights behind you shine into it, reducing glare.

It depends on the vehicle. We confirm the time when we quote, and test dimming, adjustment and any heating before we leave.
Do you cover my suburb?
