    My buddy has a set of racing mirrors which are in great shape, except the mirror glass is scratched. I've seen replacement glass on ebay & was wondering if anybody has done a replacement on the glass like I'd like to do on these mirrors? They seem to be glued or bonded on to the backplate, I especially don't want to break or stretch out the driver remote mirror cables & screw it up. Any suggestions???

    It might be cheaper to deal with your local auto glass shop than eBay?

    Local glass shop did my passenger side for $25. I carried them the inside, they cut and glued mirror in, I brought back home and installed the screw, done!
