My glass got so bad I couldn't see out the mirrors. I took the car down to the local autoglass supplier and had them make me a replacement. $20 and a half hour each side and it was done. If you want the right side done with the special concave glass, then it cost$ much more. I used regular glass. Worked for me. The guy let me in the shop and I watched how he did it. After cutting out the mirror to approximately the right size, he used a large belt sander to do the curves and bevel the edges. Some people may be able to do this themselves. He also had some special adhesive which was kept in a heater that he used to glue the new mirror on top of the old.
