i would assume that i have to remove the mirrors from the doors???

Go to an auto glass house, they usually can find the correct shape mirror for your mirrors. They might not have it in stock, but they can find it and order it. I had one replaced on my truck a couple of weeks ago for about $25.00 installed. I went to a Novus repair shop since it was the closest to my house.

Dont think you need to remove the mirror from the car. Most of those are just glued to the backing with adheasive. Glass shops usually use a heat gun to soften the adheasive and pry to old off, and it likely breaks in pieces. Then they would clean the backing surface of the old adheasive and glue the new one on.

i dont know why i didnt do this before asking but i just searched ZIP and found this... http://store.yahoo.com/zipproducts/zip-mr-352.html
its a "peel and stick" deal, so i guess i just carefully remove the old ones using heat as suggested and then apply the new ones...?

Thats the ticket. The old ones might break up when you pry em off. No biggie though.

Motormite makes stick on replacement glass
for both left and right sides.
Found them in stock at my local Advance
Auto Parts Store. If not in
stock they will special order.
Many other auto parts stores
also carry this brand.

just got back from Advance Discount Auto Parts and they had the same exact mirror as Zip has...
Zip price...$12.50 + shipping
Discount Auto...$6.98

but there is one thing...
parts # 51009 and 51006 are left and right sides and are single sided mirror only...
they didnt have #51006 and when i looked closer #51002 is the same shape mirror except it is double sided mirror...
so a #51002 will fit BOTH sides :)

also, they are very thin and can be applied directly to the old glass without removal which is very convenient...

UPDATE...i just trashed one of them...
i always have my doubts about D/F tape...well, not in this case!
tried real hard to center the new one exactly over the old one and just, ever so gently laid it on there...
well...it was a little off and do you think i could get it back off? NO WAY!
that D/F tape was stuck as tho it was welded on there!
broke it trying to remove it...DAMN!
ive got to think this thru before i trash the other one and try again then...
:rolleyes:
