    Anyone have an idea where to get sport mirror gaskets? i have a 71 maverick got a set from auto krafters but they randomly tear... out of know where i park my car and found that there ripped. have no clue why this is happening they sent me another set installed them 2 weeks later the second set tore. its obviously idiot proof to install mirror gaskets and iv been a mechanic for quite some time and have never seen this before. i call autokrafters again they dont have anymore in stock and have no clue when they will be getting more in. i have a show sept 21st and need a set asap anyone know where i can find a set? I added a photo of them so you can see what I talking about. Ebay has none either any help would be great! thanks

    Post in the wanted section, if AK doesn't have them, then no one will, they had them reproduced.

    Bought mine from AK, but was not happy with the quality. Too brittle and cracked when installed.

    I ordered some from Melvin's, 5 weeks ago, still waiting on the supplier. Their supplier sucks, but the staff at Melvin's is really nice. And has went out of their way to help with all my questions.
