[Roadsters] mirror removal

[Gary Tew]

Has anyone successfully removed the mirror glass from the mirror on a 
dash mounted rear view?.  I had a couple of mirrors re chromed.  I 
disassembled them first, breaking the mirrors in the process.  Neither 
mirror was in salvageable condition so I wasn't concerned.  I've since 
had difficulty finding automotive mirror material locally and had to use 
regular mirror glass in my restoration piece.  I'm told the auto glass 
is not 100% reflective, letting some light pass through so the driver 
isn't blinded by headlights at night.  Now I have a mirror in poor 
condition but with a good mirror glass that I'd like to salvage and put 
in my re chromed piece.  I'd rather not destroy the mirror casing but 
will sacrifice it to get the mirror out intact.  Sorry for the rambling 
??  Thanks
