I did the Igor update with the 4B0 857 535 B replacement glass with the
concave strip for the drivers side.   I am not sure if they are
available in US.  This is a great upgrade that helps with the blind
spot.  I did not do the passenger side since it is all convex, and both
mirrors were fine.
I have the OEM  driver-side mirror I removed in perfect operating
condition.  I can see a few hairline scratches from cleaning that were
not visible when installed, but no delamination.  $30 shipped 2day
express. 4A1 851 535
