Replacing my rearview mirror

[Doug Johnson]

I got a mirror for the cq for about $15, but the local dealer wanted ~$80
for the Type 85 rearview mirror.

Is there a better source with a better price?

TIA

The rear view mirror can still be ordered new from the dealer and
is surprisingly cheap, something like $15, if I recall.
