I am thinking about replacing my mirror glass. I know George carries it. Does anyone know if mirror glass for our cars is a special grade different from local hardware variety?

I think it's a lot thinner than the normal variety. It has to be exact for the black frame/gasket deal, on the outside of the mirror, to snap into place and hold it.

I am sure the thickness will be different. I can use plastic shim stock. My only concern is about the glass and the reflector material. |
