Does any one sell replacement glass for OEM 914 mirrors? My local glass shop can not get the proper thickness for cutting. I have several mirrors that need the glass replaced.

I think some here have just gone to a local glass/mirror company and had them cut for about $5.

I had new mirrors made at a local glass shop. They had no problem at all, but I think it was about $50 for the pair, since they had to do quite a bit of sanding or grinding to get a perfect fit. Anyway, the results were great!

Sierra Madre Collection and AA has them, BUT they are thinner than the factory glass. The glass is laser cut and a perfect fit but they will need a little spacing help on the back side.

I ordered one from Auto Atlanta but it was not a perfect fit. I am sending it back and still looking.

Just did this at my local glass place; took cracked, old mirror for templant. Fresh mirror was $6. Pretty effortless!

What is the correct thickness for the side mirror? The one I removed was 2.75mm and the one I bought was 2.25mm. The finish and diameter cut was perfect from AA but the thickness I'm not sure of. AA said I could return it and were easy to deal with or I could add a spacer and use it but I would rather pay more and have a perfect fit if possible. Am I asking to much?

I went ahead and kept the mirror and added a medium density 3/16" thick padding to the back of the mirror to get a proper fit. I usually do not like to modify parts to get a fit but in this case I made an exception. All is good again, at least for now....

There are 2 different sizes, we have cut some with the water jet, but the material wants to move as it started to float toward the end. Makes it come in a little more than it should. We just need to tweek the program to cut larger and will have to polish the edges.
