Door Mirror Hazy

[troutwest66]

My passenger side mirror is hazy like it's dirty but it's clean. The driver's side is clear. Is there a way to polish the mirror? I have the heated mirrors so I don't want to ruin anything. I don't know what happened to it since I've only had the truck 4 weeks. I'm assuming something was put on it that caused the haziness?

You can't polish the mirror part as the glass covers the silver that is used as a reflective surface in the mirror. The glass is placed on the silver and bonded on.

Would an auto glass shop have any ideas? Is this a replace the glass or live with it issue?

Live with it or change it.

I can only imagine the cost of replacing the glass. Not in the budget!

It is not too bad, here: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...2004+Ford+F-350+Drivers+mirror+glass&_sacat=0 Better than the $350 + for the entire mirror assembly.

Thanks, Dave. This only listed driver's side but I'll look for the passenger side.
