R1100S mirror glass

[hooperman]

I have broken the right side mirror glass. I can't see how/whether the glass can be replaced, assuming BMW sell it at an non-extortionate price. S/hand ones are circa £60!

You can apparently replace it by putting the mirror in an oven and popping in a precut piece of mirror in and as it cools it shrinks and traps the glass in place. Not done it myself but I've heard others say they have.

BMW don't sell the glass you'll have to get it cut yourself, or buy a used one on ebay

Steve is right.

Look on Ebay/T'internet. There are step by step instructions. You would not believe what it recommends but it works !

Andy,

I put the mirror in the oven eventually as 220. It softened it a bit but not really enough to get another piece of mirror in. Any idea where those instructions are?

Surprised at that, the lenses in mine go a bit "loose" on a hot summers day?

I bought a piece of mirrored perspex cut it with a dremmil popped it in cold it's not perfect (slightly to tight) but usable and don't rattle

I just cut mirror to internal edge size and glued it to still in situ broken one..... been right as a bobbin for the last 4 years and only cost me £3.
