    Hi All

    The glass in my left hand mirror is smashed. Only recently bought the mirrors so really don’t want to shell out another $120+ for an entire replacement mirror. Any tips on who or how to replace just the glass?

    Cheers

    A glass cutter firm should be able to make some, or better still buy some crappy ones on ebay and use the glass.

    Sorted. Local glass/mirror mob. Cut to size, old glass removed and new glass glued in. 45mins/$35. Happy days.

    for future reference. If they are OEM mirrors, and they loose their tension on the adjustment ball heat it up with a Hair dryer/heat gun on low and it will soften the glue that holds the galss in. You can then remove the glass, tighten the screw up and then replace the glass after heating up the mirror backing again./ Don't heat the glass but the frame of the mirror.
