Del Sol mirror replacements & one piece side windows?
New del sol owner here on my 10th honda. I just got a 95 sol and there are a few things I cant stand. Part of the side window is seperate. Anyone know of a window replacement from maybe an integra or something that will replace current side window 2 glass set up? I would like one clean piece of glass for my sides. I also cant find any after market mirrors for sale. I found some people who used small square after market sport bike mirrors. I am thinking mirrorless and fill the holes when I paint it.

Go mirrorless ONLY if it's a show car or race car. Otherwise, enjoy having the first ******* State Trooper/Highway Patrol TOW your car, since it's a federal law and a towable offense in every state. Otherwise look through some used car lots for cars that had stand-off mirrors. It would be very easy to mount them, just not easy to find one that will sit "level".
You won't find any one-piece windows for a del sol except for maybe lexan conversions for race purposes. The way they designed the doors/windows does not allow for that wide of a window to roll into the door. Civics have the mirror in place of that window, and also roll straight down, while the sol goes at an angle. You could get a custom immovable window, for a very high price of course, but that won't include the required molding that doesn't have the cutout for that divider piece between the windows.

Crap oh well for the side windows. Those girly mirrors I will remove and fill the holes. Ive seen one guy take spoon style mirrors and mounted them on the second front piece of glass. I think he used some kinda super strong glue maybe same kind they use for rear view mirror. It looked pretty clean. I was also thinking after i shave the mirrors in this state only driver side mirror is required so i will buy a small square mirror maybe a short after market sport bike mirror and glue it to the front side window to get by but im sure i will get a ticket for that such as the last cop told me i was unlawfully lower than stock.
In most places you only need 2 mirrors, driver's and rear-view. As long as the mirror isn't the size of a dime, they usually won't bother you if it's not stock.
If you can get a flat metal plate where the mirror anchors normally, you could use some epoxy intended for metal/glass. Rear-view mirror repair glue is that cyanoacrylate stuff, it will turn white with moisture.
BTW here's a funny article related to mirror laws, and has put them in the spotlight as of late:

lol that was kinda funny. Yea only the rear view and drivers side mirrors are required. Next im going to get a ftiv block off plate. Did you remove your trunk mount set up for holding the roof? I just unbolted the whole thing and took it out. I only paid 1000 for the sol. The idle when i bought it kept bouncing from 1k to 3k over and over on its own orig owner didnt know what was wrong with it as I knew it was a dirty iacv. Offered 1k drove it home and cleaned the iacv. Now idles perfect at 750.
