My 2004 CGT door wing mirrios are going cloudy with a bronzey liquid flowing in, any clues?

 

Mercedes has the same problem. Unfortunately two solutions : live with it or buy a new mirror. Seems that the auto dimming chemicals eventually leach through. The Mercedes guys blame it on sunlight hitting the mirror overtime.

 

has any one found a mirror glass that will fit from another vw audi car or whatever as the cost of these glasses are insane?

 

Perhaps a glass cutter can help out. Just a thought.

 

mine are auto dim and heated...no big deal in the car world but i doubt a glass cutter would be well up on it..
i think i have found a manufacturer in the uk that will make one from pattern but need a broken one from somewhere to send them if any donors

 

Me neither. I was suggesting it as your original post suggested you were only concerned by the discoloration and simply wanted to "hide" the existing mirrors with the same shaped mirror.

 

absolutely bud it was my first thought too, i can find them on the ebay for 2010 on models for like 15 quid but not for pre 2010 models..
just thought if we could get a pair of old ones someone had replaced to donate as patterns it would be win win for us early conti spur owners.

the company i spoke with were talking around 25 quid to produce each side which compared to flying spares 260 odd quid each , seemed a good route to go down so we could all get them cheap in future once they have patterened one...it seems that the discolouration thing is getting commom now like on some earlier mercedes which they put down to sunlight on the chemicals used in the auto dim?

 

You can get heated glass replacement on eBay for about £18 if you can live without the auto dim

 

that sounds pretty good to be honest ! do you have a link as i really have not been able to source them ?

 

well iv googled and ebayed and amazoned but these 18 pound mirrors are eluding me totally...are they listed as something other than bentley?
i can find loads of 2010 onwards glass replacements but 2003 to 2008 are not to be found here or in europe on my scope at least?

 

did you ever find a answer ? im looking for new mirrors now and still not finding anything???

 

To be honest the conclusive answer was no...
I approached a manufacturer and they told me to send them one and see if they could replicate them but sadly no one on here could assist with a broken one I could send them...another company told me they could cut some mirror glass to suit but as the GT has a chrome surround they could not replicate this only a replacement glass that would fit over the existing one..so not much luck overall..they quoted around 30 quid for the glass .
If you have any more luck keep me posted..stay safe regards

ive seen a few used ones advertised here in Australia, if that helps I can send you a link....

 

Worth a shot...what sort of money are they over there?

 

I'd guess the most expensive place on earth at around the 600 Australian Dollar mark, still want a link ?
