My 68 Coupe has the interior rear view mirror with the day/night switch on it and a rubber moulding that surrounds it.  Its original and the mirror needs to be resilvered.  There are places that will resilver it, but they only want the mirror, not the stainless frame.  Does anyone know how to take the interior mirror apart without destroying everything?  I'm assuming I remove the rubber edge first, then how do I separate the glass portion from the stainless frame?  I don't think I can soak it in a solvent, as that will destroy the flipper switch, as its rubber (I think).

Thanks
Mark

Repro not an option.  Need it for judging.

Mark,

Try Paragon, they may be able to sell you a reconditioned mirror that is properly dated, or they may be able to recondition yours.

Good luck,

I found a lady in Kentucky that restores them.  Her name is Carol Fish.  Got the reference from the National Corvette Restorers Webb site.  Going to go that route.

Thanks
