[Roadsters] mirror removal

[John McCarthy]

Gary, I know it's easy on the 67.5 because the mirror has screws to take of
the retaining ring around the casing. I bought another mirror off of eBay (I
think it was for a Z?)...anyway I took the glass out and took both parts to a
glass shop and they cut the new mirror to fit. I have a 67 and I know the
chrome dash mirror is even smaller so maybe you could just by a low cost
mirror on line or even in the Help! section of an auto parts store...take that
glass and your new chrome piece to a shop and have it cut to fit. You can try
some of the methods mentioned that use heat...but the silver coating on the
back of the mirror is so thin you may lose some regardless of your care and
diligence.
