Hay all, I'd like to get my rear view mirror and visor mirror re-silvered.  I've checked locally, and none of the glass shops will do it. I've also looked on Google, can anyone recommend someone they've used and gotten great results?
Thanks!

Have a '72 and the mirror was badly de-silvered.  Just replaced it with a new one from Corvette America.  Fits good and looks identical to the original.

I'd recommend just getting a new mirror also unless you have a mirror with the map light in it. Mine did on my 74 but I couldn't find any with the light, in that case, if you want to stay all original then you will have to continue searching. Good luck.

Joyce Borrell in PA can do it.

Thank you! I'll give Joyce a call. The visor was missing so I found an original (no lights) on EBay but it needs re-silvered. The rear view isn't bad, I just though that since I need to get the visor done, might as well get both done.
