Question Mirror glass replacement ?

Could the inside cab rear view mirror glass be replaced separately? Who sells them. Same question on sport style door mirrors.

The inside ones I've done for my Chevelles. I had to replace with good used glass, couldn't find any new ones. I checked with a glass shop but they couldn't help because the mirror is a beveled odd shape. You could have your old one resilvered but not sure where.

Some mirrors are glued in, others it seems weren't. Best to get the mirror assembly nice and hot like in the sun, then carefully pry the old one out with a thin blade putty knife. I use 2, slip one in and keep there, use the other to carefully go around the rubber edge.

If your lucky, you'll get the mirror out without breaking it. Also be careful not to scratch off the silvering on the back of the good one.

The reinstall is much easier.
