    And my passenger side sport mirror glass fell off!:mad: 30+ year old glue gave way I guess. I've seen precut glass advertised somewhere before, but can't seem to find it now. Anybody got a lead on where besides a glass shop to find one? I want to say it was in the HELP section at Advance Auto I saw them before, but now not sure.

    I looked on eBay last night, didn't see'em. No rush, I 've lived without a mirror on that side for a while now. They should show up again soon....

    Edit: Just found some on eBay, but that's not the same ones I saw on there before. Seems a little pricey, but may have to spend that much if I can't find that other company that had them for $10 IIRC.....

    Glass out of any 70s Ford sports mirror ought to bolt in. Two screws, just tip the mirror from side to side.

    I would have had extra glass for you here out of a Granada that I got some parts from, except that it was a remote passenger mirror. If it was a regular one I would have snatched the glass.

    My problem with the local glass shop is that they are closed on Sat, my day off....May just get the wife to take the mirror head with her one day and go by there and get one cut.
