[s-cars] {s-cars] Outside mirror glass GB

[chris chambers]

Tom,

Mirror glass arrived safely today, installed passenger fast, tried
to install driver's side too fast and broke the white bracket. ;-(
A few minutes of digging in the old parts pile and I replaced the
broken bracket.

Be careful when removing the glass, I recommend lifting up at the corner,
I knew this and let my enthusiasm get to me and inadvertantly lifted
from the side which broke the bracket.

Thanks again to Tom for his unselfish running of the mirror GB!

Chris
Enjoying da uber non delaminated mirror look!
