Series 5 Rear View Mirror Glass

[Alpine 1789]

The healey ones dont have the platic edge insert the sunbeams do ( that splits and cracks)

Thanks. Sounds like a good option for someone trying to keep their car reasonably, but not perfectly, correct.

I received the glass today. It looks like good quality. I think what I am going to do is somehow glue the glass in the metal frame and call it good. The plastic part, although stock, could be bypassed with some glued on spacers directly glued to the metal and mirror. The metal wraps around the mirror real tight and I like the look.

If you found a very slim U shaped rubber orofile you could put that on the edge of the mirror body to isolate the glass from the edge to help with vibration and potential damage or moisture getting between the glass and silvering. ;-)

You could go to one of the big box parts stores such as Auto Zone, Advance, etc. and buy one of the push on trims for use on the edges of car doors. They carry various colors.
