The chrome housing is really nice. I have a used mirror with lots of pits in the chrome. Is it possible to remove the glass/mirror from the pitted housing and put it on the good housing? I guess I am not to worried about finding a good adhesive to reattach, but how do I get the glass off the pitted housing with out breaking it? Or is this a lost cause? billyfury 70-71 fury collection www.sportfurygt.com
