Default To those with Spoon mirrors....

Does anybody know what to ask for when you go to buy new glass?? I feel really dumb, but while I was sitting at a stop light, I went to adjust them up a little, and guess I just dont know my own strength and broke the glass. I dont really want to go to a special place that cuts glass if i can pick a set of the actual mirror parts at like Napa, or Autozone or somewhere like that. Thanks!

Yeah, Ive contacted the guy I bought 'em from. Its not that Im upset with him or Spoon about the glass breaking, I remember a post about a week or so ago about this, but I just want new glass so I dont roll around looking "stunna-riffic" and worrying about the glass thats broken either falling out or if it does cutting me when i go to pull it all out (if that makes any sense)....If anybody can find that post please let me know, I couldnt find it with the search! It actually didnt even cut me though, which is gravy!

I would check with a glass specialist, or someone who cuts glass professionally. They should be able to measure what's left of the old one, and cut a new one to replace it. There's a lot of this going on lately, my friend did the same thing to his Spoon replica's about a week ago.

Yeah, to anybody thinking about spoon mirrors, I WOULD NOT BUY THEM A SECOND TIME....the visibilty is crappy and when you try to adjust them so you can see worth a crap, they break, just my .02. Not to start another "Spoon is overpriced crap" thread agian but the only money I should have injested in them was for my duracon plastic shift ****. Oh well, you live and learn
