Wing mirror replacement glass

Post by TimU »

Wing mirror replacement glass. Big difference!

Old mirrors had delaminated after using a heavy decontamination bath during the paint restoration in December.

Bought a pair of Driver & Passenger mirrors for about AU$30 including shipping from the UK.

That looks good, didn't know these were available.
Did you tape it on the old glass? Or did you pry the old glass out?

I cleaned the old glass with isopropyl alcohol and stuck the new ones straight over the top.

I watched Ron's (I think) video on removing the old glass and CBF'd going through that effort for no real benefit.
