Re: Driver's side mirror delaminating?

[Brendan <bman@swva.net>]

Had the same problem with both mirrors on my '86 5k.  I grabbed the glass
of a car at the junk yard and fixed both mirrors for $40.  Could have done
it for less, but the junk yard would only sell the entire mirror assy for
$20 a side.  If your mirrors are similar to mine, the glass is easy to
replace without removing the whole mirror assy.
