Perth 240 Posted September 3, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 3, 2014 Hi, Looking to buy a pair of early style fender mirrors, but before I commit I want to ensure it is possible to disassemble them so I can have them re-chromed. Has anyone taken a pair apart, or have a Japanese Workshop manual that may show this?RegardsRay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perth 240 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted October 26, 2014 In case anyone else wanted to know, on these old style mirrors the screw is behind the glass. The mirror is held down by glue, which is so hard by now that taking it off in one piece would be an achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted October 27, 2014 Share #3 Posted October 27, 2014 I wonder if heat would help with the glue?Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perth 240 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted October 27, 2014 I thought about heat but I think the glue was too set for it to make much of a difference.Also, unless you heat the tools you are working with and the entire assembly you run the risk of temperature differential cracking of the glass. Last thing I needed was hot glass breaking everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
