Wanted: Replacement Mirror Glass


Big Green Valley

Recommended Posts

home depot or lowes might have mirror stock, and be able to cut to suit.

no no no. those guys/gals don't know shit about cutting and shaping glass. it' takes a pattern of the old mirror, hand cutter, skill, experience, and a sander to make something like that. none of which home depot etc will have. they have those little toy glass cutters. which often break the glass instead. they can cut you a nice square piece but that's about all.

find a glass shop in your area. you might find buying a used mirror from ebay etc might be the better option.

I've worked in a glass shop and we were making that kind of thing pretty often. but charged about $40.

you'll also find that the mirror is molded in the plastic. there is no way of getting the new one in like the old one is without breaking it. so it has to be glued on.

NAPA used to sell replacement side mirror glass. Don't know if they still do.

Pretty easy to replace one once it's broken.

They probably only have the common ones.

wait, you said VFR... oops, NAPA won't have that.
