    Removing glass from ACS replica mirrors

    I have a set of CF ACS mirrors I bought from a member here a couple years back, and the shitty plastic lenses have all distorted to shit. I am just going to get lenses made at a Mirror place, but I need to know how these come off.

    Does anyone have these mirrors and know how to remove the lens without damaging the body?

            I have set ACS mirrors. The glass is not not installed. Later I will have pics of back of glass for you. The plastic on the back of glass is very thin!!

                      I meant pics of the glass and what you are talking about.

                        I figured, but it's pretty hard to get a picture of the reflection distortion, and the car is in storage right now.

                          Nvm, I got them off. They used trimmed factory backs and the same ball in socket setup..........just tilt and pull.

                            Good you got them off. Are your AC Schnitzer mirrors come heated?

                              Nope, mine are carbon reps. Manual and unheated.

                              Now to find glass mirrors.
