1979 Remote sport mirror overhaul?

[Doug Chahoy]

What did you actually order new glass with cable assembly?

No, they only offer the new glass. Don’t yet know how it comes.

Last time I bought one, it was just the glass. But, it was 15 years ago.

I replaced the glass in one of mine years ago that was broken and missing a piece and I was able to pry the glass out from the broken spot without any disassembly of the mirror or prying from the edge where the plastic is and just cleaned it up and glued the new one in. I did remove it from the car to work on it though.
I looked at OPGI's site it looks like it is just the glass by itself but if you do go the new mirror route it shows the complete driver's mirror is backordered until 4-13 but we all know how backorders go these days. Also they do not come with the base gasket.

I’ve got new gaskets already. I’ll try getting the old glass out tomorrow

It turns out it’s just new self adhesive glass.. Problem solved.
