Hi Scott, I would be interested in having my lighted mirror refinished or purchasing one from you. Let me know. Thanks,

 

I need a non lighted one for a 1970. PM me for payment and shipping info.

 

Hi Scott,I would like to have my lighted one done.Can you send me your mailing address,so that I can send it to you?I migh also have a couple cores,I'll have to look.Bruno.

 

Scott, I could use 3 of the lighted silver ones. Will send mine back to you to have done also. mikesobotka57@yahoo.com

Years ago I bought an unlighted one from you. Just finally decided to install it and discovered that I need a lighted one (map light) for my 70 GS Stage1. I can return, and/or send in my original to be refurbished. Any chance you still do this?

 

OP hasn't been on since 2016

 

I think he's on FB. I disabled my account last year but there was a guy on there selling/re-doing them. Probably same guy.

 

Cars {OLD BUICK PARTS] sells them brand new lighted $99

 

I know you're just letting him know so no offense meant whatsoever here - Nothing against CARS per se and I have no idea how nice they are but I'd take a well restored original part over a repro any day.

This goes for almost any part. There are very few exceptions (Mitch's center caps being one). I wish this weren't the case. I'd rather pay more for a repro part and tank the price of NOS if they'd make the stuff correctly (thickness, appearance, fit).

 

Reflecting on the past.......

 

I spent a fair amount of time on the cars site but couldn't find the mirror. Perhaps my bad, but a link would be helpful.

 

Heard the curvature of the glass on the repop mirrors isn’t correct and effects the dimming functionality of the mirror? I had a source on re-slivering original mirror glass but he retired. Must be a dying art It was cheap to do. Something like $8-10 per glass $10-15 to buff the housing and you had a pretty nice mirror

 

What Mark said...the repro mirror glass is flat. The original mirror glass was fatter at one end, the glass was like triangle shaped. It gave more depth when dimmed, it worked better. The funny thing is, today most people don't even understand how to use manual dimming mirrors.

 

Is that a fact?...what do new cars have auto dimming or something,
All my cars are old and I'm happy to manually dim my rearwiew

Yes, people understand the mirror moves for day/night, but they don't understand which is which. In the day you should not see the tab on the mirror, just the mirror. At night, you flip the tab and the mirror reflects rear light up towards the ceiling. All day long here, you can see cars with the tab down in the daytime. Then at night they push the tab forward so the light reflects down. It does work still, but not as well. All my newer cars dim automatically, but there are many cars here that are still manual.

 

Ok thanks, actually took me a while to work mine out as the tab operates different to any old Aussie car I've owned or driven.
Got the hang of it now but, as well as driving LHD on our side of the road.
