O.G. Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 The reflective finish has started to fail around the edges my standard CC supplied interior mirror. The type that is stuck onto the windscreen. Annoying, as the car kit was suppled late 2015 and put on the road late 2016. Its not like it has been wet or anything.I see a straight replacement from CC is £58!!! for something that might fail again in 3 years. Don't really want to have a MOT failure so has anybody got a suggestion for a replacement. Can it be dis assembled and a new glass put in or is there a quality assembly on the market, even better with a carbon finish to go with my "wing mirrors"?O.G.

Mechanical Moz Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The original mirror is a Ford part used in various models including the mk1 Ka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edzup Ezzer Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I bet if you go to a scrapyard you'll soon find one in better nick than the one that you're describing and for a lot less than £58. I've never known one fail like that in that sort of time frame.Ezzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stridey Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 And don’t forget you can rotate the Ford one 180° So the dipper tab is top, this can help some eye line angles to get better rear view, especially if your roll bar has diagonals.
