I recently purchased a OEM Porsche 914 exterior mirror and it's in great shape on all the metal parts. However the mirror itself has brown spots on/in it that need to be cleaned up? By brown spots I mean dark brown areas where it looks like the "mirror finish" is gone? Can this be repaired? If no can the mirror glass be replaced? Thanks guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Glass can be replaced. I got some convex glass that Martin Baker had made up that I glued over the top of it. To replace the glass, you will probably have to get the plastic piece tha holds it in, which would be a neat trick. If you have about $110, you can buy a new convex glass mirror from the stealership
