Easy way to repair trunk mirror
Tired of looking at that broken mirror. This is an easy way to fix that. We're going to use a plastic mirror so quality is not the best, but it works. Go to Walmart or Meijers or any large chain and purchase a bathroom stick on mirror. Next remove your old mirror. Just pry it out, being carful not to cut yourself. Next remove the plastic mirror, it's just taped in, just pull it out. Line up the new mirror and mark it on the top and bottom. I used a grinder to grind it back to the line. But you can use a cutting wheel or something else that works. Use double sided tape to hold in the new mirror. Remove the protective covering and remount your mirror and your done. Looks better and you can use it. Plus it won't break again.

Re: Easy way to repair trunk mirror
Believe it or not several years ago I broke my mirror and considered such a fix. I decided to take the unit off and bring it to a local glass shop. $5 and a wait of 40 minutes and the mirror was replaced. I leave it to you readers to decide which method you want to try.
