[Wanted] [Wanted] Wing mirror glass
I’m after a wing mirror glass - 300tdi (afaik there is no change amongst years) doesn’t have to be new, just genuine and in good condition. I’ve tried a replacement and it was a bit slim, poorly fitted and ultimately fell out - you wouldn’t believe the bad luck that followed.

Anyway - what have you got?!

So cheap new why bother with a second hand glass.
Whole unit dead cheap at for example Paddocks

The cheap wing mirror assemblies are pants, I had one try and detach itself from the door hinge on a toll road in France (doing about 60mph).

It was fitted correctly but the body was made of cheese, and the captive threads stripped Evil or Very Mad They also corroded at a rate of knots so I went back to my slightly scabby genuine ones.....

I also tried to swap the mirror glass from the cheap ones and no matter how carefully I tried, it wouldn't come out without breaking Evil or Very Mad 1985 127 V8 Build Thread

Warming the seal/retainer can help with getting the glass out Cheers

Well I for one am not very impressed with genuine.

This happened at 55mph when I made contact with a Pheasant last weekend. Not sure the Pheasant was very impressed, either.

How would you feel having survived the shooting season, only to be taken out by a Land Rover?

The radio aerial took a bit of a beating also.

It is being replaced with genuine LR.

I am sure that the pheasant now has the means to reflect-tion its actions. Whistle

I’ll get my coat.

I went Spartax as I was either braking mirror glass green laning or sometimes catching one backing into the garage.
