    Hey guys I have dual sport mirrors but the actual mirrors themselves are water stained and cloudy, has anybody found a good place to order replacement mirrors? Again, I'm only looking for the mirrors themselves, not the whole 'sport mirror.' If that makes sense :p

    I bought 3 lens and picked out the best of the 3 and returned the other 2. One lens had nasty chips around the edge and one was too cloudy. Might want to shop around also. I seen prices anywhere from $9-$25 for the same Dorman part number. The lens also have a TOP and BOTTOM so watch what you're doing before you glue or tape them down.

    Take a metal scrub pad (fine), + acid and it will clean the glass.
