Mirror for engine hatch

[rsg69cpa]

Any thoughts on the best place to get mirror inserts for my engine compartment for a '08 27ZR? I didn't see anything on Donzi Direct.
Many thanks.

Any good local glass shop should be able to set-you-up with flexible plastic lightweight mirror of any shape & size for very little money.

How thick is this stuff? How easy to cut? All the stuff I'm seeing on-line is real flimsy looking and comes in rolls. I want something that will conform to the curve of the hatch but not show any ripples. What should I look for and ask for if a local glass shop is the only source?

Carl,,, its lexan, 1/4 thick i hav one on my hatch

[Carl C]

Fishermanjm, where did you get it?

[Fishermanjm]

i got the piece from a local glass shop, i gave them a template and they cut it out they use it for windows and mirrors in houses,,, i think home depot has it also

OK, thanks. Some people are telling me to use mirrored SS instead now. I guess I have time to think about it.

Glass shops typically call this product "Flexable Lexan Shock Mirror".
It comes in about 1/16" to 1/8" in thickness ; and does not come in rolls.
Most have it, or can easily get it for you.

I glued this on with 5200 adhesive sealer

What does VS Regula mean? That is beautiful but how will you ever get it off if the heat should damage it? I was warned that heat can make the acrylic mirror look bad in time; IDK. Anyway, that really looks awesome!

the heat hasnt bothered it yet, i will cut it off with ravor blade if the need be VS REGULA is my aunt and uncle Sta and Vic who passed away few years back,, inheritance from them bought my boat so i couldnt think about a better name for the boat
