It has been about a year since I went to the local glass shop to have some door mirror glass cut. Well, guess what! There are new FEDERAL guide lines about the mirror glass. It has to be a special type of mirror glass. It has to be anti-refective and glare resistant. They said they would have to order it from the car mirror cataloge. I just started laughing. Guess what, NO mirror listed. So we went out to the shop and got a large 70's Chevy pickup mirror and cut two glasses out of it. Who knows what is NEXT!!!!!

The mirror is held in place by the black plastic surround. If you carefully pry the plastic trim out, the mirror will come out.
There is also a plastic piece that holds the mirror in the frame that sits behind the glass piece. It's really pretty self evident when you get it apart, just be patient. Be sure it's warm enough when you are prying on the black plastic, if it's too cold, it may crack. |
