I went looking for my mirrors and yes there is two holes in the mirrior mounting plate behind the glass. Bad news is good luck tring to remove the glass with-out breaking it. You might want to try a heat gun to loosen the glue, but I would  just buy a good offset screw drive and a can of penertrating oil |

Well I would try the heat gun. If you look at my mirror on the left hole you can see the sticky glue in the upper right corner(there's a joke in there some were )can try pulling it off gently. If that don't work then I would go with Doctor Jer method to save the patient  . To let you know also, I got quoted $95 a mirror per side to re chrome and $50 per door handle. There a new products to fill in the pits on white cast (pot metal) to re chrome the pieces |

Perhaps (if you keep the heat rise on your mirror glass constant across the entire surface) the heat gun will work. Dunno. I do know that it is easy to make a piece of glass that hasn't been tempered shatter by applying heat in 1 spot too long. I also know how to break both front & rear windows while trying to remove them. I'm just full of useless info huh |

Just a quick update, and a link to an Ebay listing I stumbled across. If you do go with the "Doctor Jer" bust-em out method, this seller is selling "computer cut" replacement mirror glass in sets of two.. cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=270091705185The only couple of problems with this seller is that he does not accept PayPal, which means the personal check-10 day wait ordeal, or (I think) he accepts money orders... Oh, and his communications with are very, very brief, as in "I'll check", when I emailed an inquiry on his receiving my check yet...that was his entire response..."I'll check."...no invite to dinner, or "how's the kids" or nuttin'!! |
