Original Mirror Glass Replacement

Many years ago I gently pried out my faded stock mirror glass and used it as a template to cut and install a fresh mirror. It worked great but I lost my night glare switch function as it was not a beveled piece of glass.

Fast forward 15 years and I am now building trucks and blazers with my 5 boys and they have the same mirror problem. This time I have been finding cheap mirrors and cutting the glass out so that the glare function still works. Some I have had to sand the corners with my belt sander some fit right in with no modification. I have got a couple used ones for free as donor mirrors and the last one I just bought at my Napa auto parts store.

Just be sure to remove your old glass and take it with you to hold up to the new mirrors to find one the right size.

Thought I would share incase anyone else was in the same boat
