[Sir Tigger KC]

I had a slight altercation in a tight spot with a VW Golf this afternoon!    There should have been room for both of us to get through and I was hard on the left and thought it was OK, he didn't get over and our mirrors smacked cracking the glass in mine.  I stopped, he didn't. Tosser!   

Anyway not that it would have made any difference had he stopped, although I'd have liked to have made my feelings known! 

So! Door mirror glass!    Dealer only? Any decent pattern suppliers about?  I bought a cheap ebay mirror glass for my Merc last year and the electrical connections didn't match and I ended up soldering the connections, so not too keen to go down that road!   

Any advice as always will be appreciated!

Don't do what I (foolishly) did when something similar happened to me - why do the ar**holes never stop?
I used one of those plastic stick-on things that fit over the broken mirror: they are USELESS! Apart from not allowing the demister to work, any attempt to clean them results in a damaged surface which is worse than useless.
Lesson learned.

Ron.

Here's one on e-bay.

If you are ever near Midsomer Norton I am sure I could find you one as a gift in my heap of spares.

I bought one for myy PFL (admittedly about 10yrs ago), and it was only about £10 retail from dealer (maybe plus vat). Worth a quick call, even if it results in a laugh

[Bigron]

TB, prices have changed since your purchase - I enquired about 2 years ago and my main dealer refused to sell me just the glass and insisted that it was only possible to buy the complete door mirror, for £50 + VAT!

Possible the mongrel was too lazy/incompetent to find just the glass... 

[Bigron]

Thanks, TB. It's good to know for future reference, if separate glass is available - this bloke was insistent that it was all or nothing!
