Ok, I broke the our side mirror glass, so I went to three auto glass shops today looking to get it fixed. They all three checked a catalog, said the blank was not available, and that they will cut glass, but not mirrored glass.
Called a fourth place and they said they would try, but $50 up front, no guarantee. Does anyone know where I can get two mirrors cut to shape. I read the thread here about fixing mirrors and have mine apart. Now I need the mirrors. Thanks |

It seems they have something at Automobile Atlanta ...
http://www.autoatlanta.net/record_detail.l...3B17913&-Search I have the same problem. I let it cut from a local shop but they did such an unprecise job that it doesn't fit. Got a try with another one ... will see. |

Yikes!!...the only difference between mirror glass and reg is the layer of silver on the backside.
I had a side mirror replaced on my truck and it was less that what is shown in the link...installed....and it's 2X the size...and in CDN$$ too.... |

Don't go to an auto glass shop. Find a regular glass dealer. I had one cut and I think it was less than $10.00.

I just sold the best mirror in my stash, and the silvering on it was only so-so. I'd be interested in getting 4 pieces if we could get parts at a reasonable price.

Martin made some up awhile back, he still may have a few. If not maybe we can twist his arm to makeup some more. I know I would be interested.
Convex Door mirrors for the 914/resources and parts: 40.00 each for chrome. Pair, $35.00 each for 2 or more. $50.00 each for the blue tint, $45.00 each for 2 or more. This is what I have on my car. (I highley recommend the blue if you would like to do this mod to your mirrors.) Pay Pal works for me, I will accept check or money orders, and no dead line on this. 15 or more of either type pre-paid and the order is placed. I simply do not have the cash up front at this time to "stock" these. If you would like to chat more about them, you can e-mail me directly at; martinqbaker@sbcglobal.net |

What size wheels can I fit? Group: Members Posts: 4,645 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region |
Greg,
I have an extra mirror that you can have if you want. You can have the whole thing and do what you want with it. You'll owe me a beer, however. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) MW |

One cold beer coming right up! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif)
Thanks. I can get it from you at the DE at PIR, or we could hook up for lunch. Sounds like the six project is moving forward and I would like to hear what is happening. I robbed the one off the LE, so I can drive for now, but this will help. Thanks again. Hey, how did the visor mount rear view mirror work out? |

Yikes. You should be able to get these for under $10 easily. As mentioned above go to a glass shop. I had two made up for me last year and it cost $5 plus tax. If you cant find a place let me know and I will get some more. |

I have them made all the time. Cost is @$10.00. You have to make sure that it fits. There are two different sizes of mirrors. Anytime I take a glass in to be cut, I also take the old glass with me for sizing purposes.
