Default Door mirror glass compatibility

I'm currently trying to source some replacement mirror glass but am struggling.

Do the pre 97 XJ's share the same mirror glass with any other Jeeps as a few Grand Cherokee ones I've seen on eBay do have a similar look?

Preferably I'm after a heated back one and so far have only found a standard stick on glass.

I'm trying to buy within the UK but will buy outside within reasonable costs.

Thanks

Along the same line... do you or anyone else know how to fix the slight vibration that you tend to get with all power mirrors over time?

Turn the ignition off, that should sort it.

I wouldn't say that mine vibrate any differently than any other mirror really.

IDK if power mirrors are more prone over time to vibrate more than say a manual adjustable one... it's really a first world problem at this point I can still see whats behind me even with the vibrating of it going down the road.

I've been meaning to post back for a while. I've not done any high speed journeys in a while bur yesterday at 60/70mph my drivers mirror was shaking a lot compared to my passenger.

When I changed the glass (found some) I cleaned up the little metal crosses that it pivots on and took away too much material. This is the reason I broke my passenger mirror fitting it. I was feeling for the "pop" of it locating but it more slid in so I didn't feel it.

I also found on my donor mirror that one of the tabs that the cross slots into had a crack, it later snapped off. If the crack is your issue you won't know until you inspect it.
