    Hey all,

    I have a '73 Maverick Grabber with the sport mirrors. Passenger side mirror would not stay in place so I removed the mirror assembly and had to break the glass to take the assembly apart. Assembly is now tighter but can anyone tell me where to get the correct replacement glass? (measurements shown in photos)

    Thanks! P1050648.JPG P1050649.JPG

    A good tip for next time.......heat the back side with a torch or heat gun to soften the glue, beats buying a new glass.

    Thanks!

    Does anyone know if they sell replacement glass for the driver side sport mirror? I know that the passenger side mirror doesnt work on the drivers side.

    Why aren't the mirrors interchangeable?
