mschraider Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hey Folks, The centre post on my central spa mirror seems to be knackered and to have come unbonded form the mirror case. The only way I can think to repair it would be to remove the glass, refit the post and then replace the glass - so my question; how do you remove the glass ? it would also be great to hear any better ideas, or whether anyone has experience of getting Spa Design to repair them ?

Member Jonathan Kay Posted January 30, 2022 Member Share Posted January 30, 2022 Can you work a piece of dental floss around the glass and saw through the adhesive? If that's possible I'd try it after some gentle warming.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Mine fell out when I went over a cattle grid on the A39 driving across Exmoor Seriously . . . . . there is a small hole in the top and you need a very small long PH or PZ screw driver (can't remember which) to tighter the screw in the top of the post IIRC but others may have a better memory than me, the "glass is glued in.

aerobod - near CYYC Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 The central post on my Caterham supplied carbon fibre Spa mirror isn't adhered to the casing at all, by design. It is only held in place by the clamping screw through the top of the case into the thread in the post, with the bottom of the post passing through a hole in the casing behind the mirror glass. Do some Spa mirrors have a different design for connection between the post and casing, as I can see no advantage to removing the glass to fix an issue between the post and casing on my mirror?

Guy Lowe Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I have been using the same set of SPA mirrors for 20 years, never had a problem, just don't try to move/adjust them without slacking them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
