Convex Door Mirror Options Options

[frank_c]

Hello,
The right door (side view) mirror on my 914 is currently the flat/driver type (914-731-039-10), and I would like to replace it with a convex/passenger mirror (914-731-040-10). My first choice would be to simply replace the mirror glass with a convex piece, but so far I have only found vendors selling replacement glass for the flat mirror. Does anyone know of a replacement glass source for the convex mirror?

If the convex replacement glass is not available, then if I were to purchase the convex replacement glass for some random vehicle (ensuring it is larger than the 914 OEM mirror size), would a glass shop be able to cut this down to fit the 914 mirror housing?

Of course the other options is to purchase a new/NOS OEM convex door mirror (914-731-040-10), but my searches indicate that only the flat (914-731-039-10) mirror appears to still be available. If that is true, then I'll post a WTB in the classifieds forum.

Thanks,
Frank

I worked as a glazier for many years. Tempered is pretty much fixed at whatever size it is when tempered. But raw glass can be drilled, sanded, ground into shapes and polished. A full service glazing shop, not a we can cut a piece of glass to fit your picture frame kind of shop, could take a convex mirror from a car that has a close size and fit it to your mirror housing. It probably won’t be cheap, and you may have to look for a good glazier that doesn’t mind the bother. I never did it because My mirrors vibrate like a mofo and can’t see anyway. I was a swivel head.
