Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted August 30, 2019 I have 2 pretty nice original sport mirrors, all in one piece. The glass in both is not cracked, but severely scratched and worn. Any sources for new glass, and suggestions on how to remove the old glass? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aslanefe 333 Report post Posted August 30, 2019 Remove the glass with it's backing, braided fishing line between glass and backing and use it like a saw. Heating may help. I even used this trick to remove glued side glasses from their brackets; took some time but braided fishing line cut the glue and I removed the glasses with no damage. 1 bigmal reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is held on with four dabs of silicon I followed the video in WCCC and it worked great. I started with the same issue. I also tighted up the adjustment so that it would stay firmly in place once set. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dean 1 Report post Posted April 22, 2020 Hi guys, best thing to remove the glass mirror from the metal back is to soak the assembly in petrol (gasoline) for a day or two. The mirror and glue comes off completely without damaging anything. drake make a good reproduction mirror glass for the passenger side that is slightly convex giving you a better field of view. While the glass was off, i modified the frame so the tension can be adjusted without having to remove the new glass again. I have been meaning to join the forum and will do over the next few days. Will also include some pictures which may help somebody with the notorious 'loose' mirror issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
