    Default Replacing smashed mirror

    I stone has flicked up and smashed my right hand side mirror.

    Is it possible to replace the actual mirror? or do I have to buy the whole side mirror part?



    Thanks

    To renew mirror glass:

    1 Adjust the mirror to the inner/uppermost position.

    2 Insert a flat bladed screwdriver into the opening and carefully disengage the clip
    retaining the mirror glass to the base plate.

    3 Move the glass in a circular motion to disengage the remaining clips and withdraw the glass from the plate.

    Installation is a reversal of the removal procedure with attention to the following points.

    1 Place the mirror to the base plate, ensuring that the vibration damper spring correctly
    engages the groove in the mirror housing.

    2 Carefully, but firmly press the mirror towards the base plate until the retaining clips are
    all engaged.

    3 Check the operation of the mirror.


    These instructions are from my Gregory's manual, I strongly recommend purchasing one for around $40. It will come in handy many times and save you money doing your own repairs.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
