Help ! Looking for 5 1/4" replacement glass for door mirrors ('73-'76).
Ordered two "rare finds" from ** for $24.50 each, plus ship & guess what ? screwed again ! They sent 1/8" glass, so are loose in the frames when installed. Sent 'em back. The glass needs to be approx. 3/16" to fit snugly. Any ideas ? |

Mirror glass can be tricky. It seems the new glass is NOT as thick as the original glass from the 70's. I bought mirrors from both AA and Sierra Madre. Neither replacement glass is the correct thickness. I used some rubber to shim the mirror out to fit frame. I would take my old glass to the glass place and see if they can match the thickness. One glass shop said they would make them BUT they had to be made from OEM mirror glass for safety reasons and liability. See where your journey leads you.
