True Classic
This summer I decided to refresh the exterior mirrors of my X and install new convexes glass mirrors.
First I dissemble the mirrors and take notes on how the glass mirrors movement is done.
The left and right mirrors cases don't have the same angle, as you can see from the picture.
I filled all the small hole/pit with "J-B Weld" epoxy and then sanded it all, finished with a 800 sandpaper .
I applied two to three coats of black paint for plastic.
Finally a coat of clear varnish.
I went to the auto parts to get two generic convex mirrors and brought to the glazing to be cut to size.
Well it all back.
I really like the largest vision with the convex mirror.
Everything reinstalled on the car.
