My door mirror is broken and I am trying to find a mirror with convex glass?
These used to be available but I can't seem to find them now?
Any ideas?

I have a VW dealership about 100mtrs from my house in Oxford and so far have managed to source nothing from them.
They charge an exorbitant amount for getting stock in and only seem to do service items and very few.
I'll give them a call though...

Update!
You can buy them direct from a VW Commerical Dealer.
Convex is £47.98
Flat is £39.38
Including VAT.
Ouch, GSF do 2 qualities, but both are Flat.
Any other suggestions for a convex mirror?
Cheers
Martyn

When I said VW is implied commercial due to the T3 not being a car
Try ringing JK and enquire upon what happened to the convex style mirrors they used to sell. They may just be waiting for a new supply personally I have flat on both and have no trouble whatsover including reverse parking on a sixpence.

Thanks for that, its not the visibility thats the main problem its the Glare you get from the flat mirrors at night as well.
I look stupid in sunglasses driving in the darkness.!
