Title: Driver side mirror glass
Post by: birdo on March 23, 2016, 09:56:32 PM

Anyone know where I can find a driver's side mirror (just the glass panel) for a 99TJ?
The little buggers smashed mine on the weekend.

Tried Amazon but they insist the size is incorrect???

Is there some place in Calgary that has them?

Cheers

I replaced the convex passenger side glass a few years ago and it was about $55 and I assume since the drivers side is just flat it would be cheaper.

Leave the glass at a glass shop and they can cut a new one to glue on top of the old one. If you don't rush them and leave it there until they have time, it should be cheap. If the glass is too busted to trace around, see if the passenger side is the same shape and trace that one.

Buy yourself a cheap glass cutter and a mirror from the dollar store. A few minutes tracing and cutting, then pull all the old glass from the jeep mirror housing and glue in your new piece.
 I've replaced a few on my heep now and have about a half doz spares for the $10 I invested in a cutter and mirror.

Complete assembly from NAPA in about $80.

I have tried the NAPA mirrors before. Couldn't find any with flat glass. Cheap over-seas knock offs. Glass was wavy, like a fun house mirror took them back and got some from Modern.
