Any members here have any knowledge of replacing the convex mirrors (GD) with normal mirror glass?

Not happy with convex at all  would like to replace them.

How long have you had them?
When I first got mine it took some getting used to but now it's second nature judging distances with them.

Hi,

Only had i30 since 5th July, but with work & can drive another 3 vans & I find it annoying when I had to get used to the different mirrors.

Fairy Nuff.
It would make it difficult changing from car to car.
I'm sorry I can't assist with your question but someone will, I'm sure.

Hi Neville

 Have you tried a larger glazier? They may be able to cut you one?

I will see if any on ebay for you too 

Try asking these guys if they can do the GD model...

Hi - just joined this forum and realise this is an old post, but recently dealt with a mirror issue for an old Astra.
I contacted these guys in QLD  sales@mirrors4cars.com.au   and they make mirrors to suit all cars.  Cost seems reasonable too compared to dealer products, at least it was for Holden.

I had a mirror glass on the  Astra slide right off the backing plate in the summer heat while I was driving!   I didn't end up buying from mirrors4cars, and instead made my own from 3mm mirror glass, a $5 glass cutting tool, and a hell of a lot of sanding, and it reasonably fits my Astra.   But Pete from mirrors4cars was very helpful to me even though he knew I wasn't going to buy from him unless I botched my DIY job.   I wouldn't hesitate to call him if I needed another mirror, or if I can't get used to those damn convex mirrors in my new i30.

Hi All,

Thanks for the info, have contacted <snip> & they had all the details for a GD. Order has been placed & is waiting @ PO for me to pick up.

So I have a job for this weekend, a bit $$$ though - $115

Thanks Neville look forward to an update and your opinion as to whether it was worth it...

OK Guys an update...

Watched the video instructions, went out & put them in action. managed to get existing glass off OK.

Then the  moment - existing mirrors are heated, replacement glass isn't.

Put it back together for more research.

  Bu**er 

Can they be stuck to existing mirrors with double sided tape? Heat might transfer from old to new glass.

How often would you need the heated mirrors in Sydney?
