Door mirror - help needed URGENTLY

Post by **gifftopher** » 20 Oct 2006, 12:21

Last night someone smashed the glass in my right hand door mirror. I am going away tomorrow for my first ever trip in the van and I can't see behind (van is lhd). Does anyone know where I can get stick on replacement glass TODAY!! in London for a Wedge or any good bodge job ideas?

I know its a long shot but I don't really want to fork out £20 for a whole new mirror if I can avoid it.

cheers

Think you will find sticky mirror glass in Halfrauds or any local motor factor...

Same thing happened to my lhd a couple of weeks ago!

Halfords said they could get one cut for £20 and it would take 2 weeks!!!!

Then I found out that German and Swedish sell them for £10

German and Sweedish, £10. Sorted.

Although it was too loose and I spent the whole trip not being able to see behind anyway! Oh well, just got the other half to stick her head out of the window...
