@KenFirch sorry to hear that. Just be warned if you put the 301 mirror on the passenger side of the car the angle of the stalk really causes a problem to the Viewpoint even though it can be adjusted more than the right hand mirror.

II took the repo mirror apart.  The glass is held in place with 4 pieces of adhesive tape.  The steel housing isn't crimped around the edges, so a gentle persuasive prying with a utility blade angled enough to slowly lift the glass out worked.  Not shown is a large rubber piece on the inside of the housing the adhesive sticks to.

Next I'll try to modiify/fabricate something to hopefully turn this thing into a functional 96302 mirror.

@KenFirch Great work. Would love to see what you come up with and maybe do the same if my skills can keep up with your glasswork.

A belt sander with a course belt would work to reshape a donor glass

Yep, I've done that before.

Any luck getting the mirror in a usable angle?

Thank you!

Negative, couldn't "tweak" it quite enough to get the right angle.

Me neither, but did anyone ever replace the mirror for the correct convex piece of glass?
