Due to a stupid cock-up on my part, I've managed to shear off the right hand mirror stalk on my Fazer but, fortunately, didn't break the glass.
By luck, I've got a replacement complete mirror fitting but without glass in, so I need to get the glass from one to the other.
The problem is that the plastic housing that holds the glass has a lip to keep it in place and I can't see how to get the glass out without risking breaking it.
I'd thought of perhaps warming it on a radiator or in a bowl of hot water to soften the plastic, but I'm not sure if that would work.
Anybody got any helpful suggestions on how to sort this out?
