Strange - they say its flat glass then recommend you should get convex glass. Is the Bongo original glass flat? Also, they say its heated (though Bongos don't accommodate mirror heating) but don't say anything about why it should be heated or how the element is integrated with the glass. We were discussing heated mirror glass recently weren't we?

I'm confused (as usual )

[missfixit70]

Yes we were discussing it recently, because someone had highlighted this seller

And how does the glass fit to the mechanism?

hello folks,

funnily enough i was looking at those heated mirrors last night and wondered how they could be wired up.

i sent a message to the ebay seller but at present have had no reply.

well, the mirror glass has arrived, yes it has wires for the heating - but is just flat with some what look like sticky strips on the back. Can't do much as its dark out there and I don't have a garage. But I kinda thought that there would be a fitment so it'd just press in.
not even that sure this is the right part....

Most replacement mirrors just stick on the existing mounting or over the top of the existing mirror, I think the assumption is that you're replacing your mirror as it is broken.

This is what you need, First pic shows the passy mirror with the gimbal jobby with a clip on each corner (just happened to have one in my bits box - bought it for the closing mechanism as mine is a bit temperamental ) with the plastic mirror mounting piece



Second pic shows the mounting points on the rear of the monuting piece



If you don't have this bit & the mirror is the right size/shape (allow for the surround of the mount that it sits in, compare it to the drivers side one), pm me your name & address & I'll pop it in the post for ya

Hi Chris
When you have the mirrors fitted into the backing, could you post some piccies?, as I feel mine might be broken when the weather warms up (with the aid of a toffee hammer!)
Thanks
