As I was changing the flimsy wire with a higher gauge one for my cheap mirrors with integrated turn signals, I kind of broke one of them  :tongue2:





Any ideas as to where to go to get new ones cut? I would like to get a pair of much better quality.
As you could imagine from looking at the pics, they were being held in place simply by hot glue.

Caturday yet?

Any glass shop should be able to cut you new mirrors that you could glue back in if you take them the old pieces.  make sure to use a good quality glue tho. lol.

oh snap, threw the old pieces away lol. I guess I'll tell them to use the one left as a mold.. doesn't quite fit, but it will do.

Is the existing mirror flat or convex?

1)  If flat, glass shop.

2)  If convex, buy a couple convex replacement mirror blanks from Auto Zone and then go by your glass shop.

3)  Buy a $4 glass cutter and a cheap Wal Mart Mirror.  Learn to cut glass. 
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?
