Replacement Mirror?
NO WAY! dude here is what you do. go to autozone, pepboys, etc. 6 bucks they'll give you the glass and the adhesive stuff to put it on. so the installation process is as follows
1. grab some beer from the fridge.
2. grab a screwdriver, bust and pry the old glass off, there will be plastic that the old mirror is stuck to, you NEED THIS PLASTIC, DO NOT RIP IT OUT!(before doing this step, lay down some newspaper or plastic sheet under the work area, so that the glass isn't all in your driveway waiting to go straight into your tire.)
3. make sure all the old glass crap is gone off the plastic piece
4. test fit the mirror, notice which way it's going in and take note(some replacement glass is mirrored on both sides so that they can be used on drivers or passengers)
take the strong *** two sided tape, slap it on the mirror, then position the mirror on that piece of plastic i was talking about, once it's lined up press that sucker in, make sure it's firmly on there and it should hold up long past your death if you did it right.
5. Remember that beer from the fridge, well crack it open, time to celebrate. look in your freshly repaired mirror, notice how handsome you are(this step was manditory for me of course
) and gulp that brew. nice job.
