Its always such a hassle when you break your Eagle side
view mirror. I myself have hit many a mailbox in my day that cracked the
car mirror or the mirror assembly. Lots of people think they have to go to
the dealership to get the whole assembly. In some cases you have to, but
most of the time its just the glass itself that is broken. Why spend
$550.00 dollars and up to have it replace the assembly by the dealer or a
when you can fix it yourself easily and affordably with our glass only
product.
Did you know that a car mirror is not regular mirror
glass. Its actually a dual mirror. That means both sides of the glass is
mirror. The reason for this is to cut the glare and reflective properties
that you don't need when its late at night and the car in the other lane
is blazing the lights in your eyes. However some vehicles have created
a electrochromatic mirror. In this option, the glass is actually a liquid
that both dims and heats the mirror. We only sell the electrochromatic fit
over for such replacements. So be aware of this feature when you order.
Also, did you ever notice that the Passenger Side Mirror (Mirror is black to show shape of Mirror) | always has the
"objects are closer" text on the mirror. This Eagle mirror is designed this way to increase your field of vision
and to eliminate the blind spot problem. Its always a good thing to
replace that with a convex mirror glass verses a normal mirror. Don't
substitute this as one day it might save your life.
A Daewoo side view mirror is made of 1/8 inch curved dual
mirror properties. We only sell mirrors that conform with DOT standards.
Our mirrors are made in the USA. Beware of the 9 dollar mirror that you
are seeing on sale these days on the internet, as these mirrors do not
conform to USA standards. Car or Truck mirrors are usually installed using automotive silicon or
double sided sticky tape or butyl to a plastic frame plate. We do not suggest the
use of normal bathroom silicone adhesive, which everyone has laying around
at somewhere in their house or apartment. Latex type silicone does adhere
well to plastic, but not to glass. We suggested using a construction
silicone. If you don't have any then get a small tube at your local
hardware store, or order the tube online with us.
Now how do you remove that old mirror to get the new one
in. Well, you first must breakdown the mirror from the plate. One simple
way to do this is to get a flat strong instrument like a wide screw driver
or a automotive scraper. Not many of you have the scraper, but when you go
to our order form
page we could sell you one. Its a nice thing to have around your toolbox.
Now to loosen the adhesive from the plate you must apply some heat.
Ideally a propane torch is good, but if you have the wife's hairdryer or a
heat gun that will also work. Heat up the mirror enough so you can get the
screwdriver or the scraper under the mirror and pull all the broken pieces
off. Make sure you are wearing gloves and protective eyewear, and after
the side view mirror glass is removed, make sure all the mirror and adhesive is clean off the plate.
Many of you have heating elements behind the mirror. In a warm weather
climate, or getting the mirror to a warm, not hot surface, you may be able
to save this heating element. Although difficult, TAKE YOUR TIME removing
the broken mirror from the heating element which is attached to the mirror
using a sticky adhesive Once
you have done this, apply the glue around the center of the plate. Don't
use too much, as it will ooze out of the mirror, making a mess. So use
small dabs of the adhesive. Remember you are not installing a windshield
that requires a strong adhesive. Once you have adhered the mirror to the
plate, get some easily removable tape, and tape the mirror around the
mirror to the housing so that the mirror will not slide off the frame. Keep the tape on for 24 hours
until the glue dries.

Car Mirror Order Form,
where you can order your mirror today. We have almost all car mirrors
in stock and ready to ship. If your looking for just the mirror we are the
car mirror for cars shopping guide.
We also carry the rear view mirror. Yes this is the one
in your car that is usually attached to your windshield using a mirror
bracket. We stock 8" and 10" rearview mirrors, both with break away
technology or the old break your nose in an accident screw in type. What
is the difference in the two. Well the old type mirror bracket used a
small screw that when tightened kept the rear view mirror in place.
However due to the increased knowledge through crash tests, researchers
found that many people sustained facial damage because the mirror didn't
move during the tests. Now instead of a screw they more or less slip onto
the mirror button, so that god forbid you get into an accident, the mirror
will actually breakaway from the windshield or the headliner attachment.
Its a really good safely feature. There however is two drawbacks in that
they are much more expensive than the standard screw on type, and the
other is that there are special tools required in removing it from the
windshield without actually breaking away the bracket or breaking the
windshield. So before purchasing this item from us, and the tool needed to
remove the old one, you might want the local glass expert for replacement
of this item. However if you need the old style, they are rather
inexpensive to replace. Its always a good idea to replace the old one that
might either be cracked or has some serious oxide breakdown.
