Scotland North AR Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 My old mirror has a lot of the silvering coming so looks tatty. What's the best way of getting the mirror off to fit a new one?......apart from going aero:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 29, 2022 Member Share Posted March 29, 2022 Mirror and mount off the screen rather than glass out of the mount?Soak in WD-40, gentle warmth, and use a piece of dental floss as a saw.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotland North AR Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Thanks for that Jonathan, does the glass come out and can you get new glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 29, 2022 Member Share Posted March 29, 2022 I don't think that there's a clever way of removing the glass from the mount but you could try to either saw it out in the same way or break it out and then tidy up the internal supports. Usual precautions. You could probably buy a replacement piece of mirror glass or reflective acyclic, even blue.I'd buy a new unit.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
