On my 69, my interior rear mirror is in great shape except for the actual reflective surface. It actually looks like some of the reflective material has worn off.
Is there a way to just replace the reflective glass part on these mirrors or do you have to buy a entire mirror?
I have to agree with Willcox. I needed a glass for my 74. I couldn't find a glass shop in Tulsa who would repair it. None of them. I found the correct glass online, but for what it cost as opposed to a new reproduction unit, I opted for a new assembly. Save the headache. Get a new one.

If keeping it original is not a big deal. I opted to put a 93 firebird/Camaro rearview. It mounts to the windshield but the lights mounted on the rearview is why I went that way, it has separate reading lights and interior light when opening door
I'm going for original look. I am going to go home tonigjht and see if mine looks like the reproduction. I would like it to be an easy copy or as close as possible
My mirror looks like someone out a Chevrolet symbol sticker on it and than removed it. The mirror is missing the mirror reflective portion in that shape.
I came across an article in ncrs corvette restorer on how to restore the stock mirror assembly. I have over a hundred of those magazines so if I can find the issue number and date I will post it.

I just had the same problem on my '72. Sent the mirror glass to Walters Mirror in NY ( phone 781-366-0777 ) for resilvering I think the cost was $30 plus the shipping. It was easy to peel the flexible surround off the mirror glass.
