Hey fellas,

is their a way to replace the actual glass part of the mirror? I found some excellent 4WD tracks today, but it cost me a mirror.
Its an electric mirror, on the LHS. I havent had a look at it yet, but I can defs. see the glass needs replacing!!

Thanks!!

When I smashed mine a while back, I just took it to the local glass/window shop and got them to replace it with 'normal' mirror glass.

I removed all the glass first so saved some labour time

Yes I got my lot to cut the glass and I siliconed it in place.

Things are pretty expensive here, so I'll check out the price they want for the glass. Do you know if the "glass" from a manual mirror, is the same size as the 'lectric one?

I'm pretty sure manual mirrors are smaller than electronic ones

I ended up getting a glassy to make one, for 35 bucks! All I need to work out now, is which silicone to use to stick it in.
