[DML] Convex mirrors - update - long



Hello all

Tom here with an update about the production of the mirrors.
Almost all those interested want the extended convex option with heating 
pads. Actually I only had one person ask about flat mirror on the drivers 
side (like they do it in the US). At this point I can let you know that I 
will start the production very soon - it's a holiday week here in Poland 
now, but next week seems very possible. The mirrors should be ready to ship 
within two to three weeks from now.
At the same time I would like to answer some questions that I got through 
private email so others can get a better idea.
There is not enough interest for now to negotiate a better price. So we'll 
go with $100 US for the extended convex (set of two). Heating pads are an 
option and can be added for $10 (for a set). I will not make any other 
mirrors as there is no interest at all. The extended convex is the best 
option in my opinion anyway.
The heating pads attach to the back of the mirror and should be connected to 
switched 12V. There is a plug provided in the door that should be connected 
to the rest of the circuit. I will make sure as soon as I can reconnect the 
battery to my car (I took the engine apart :) ) The heating pads are VERY 
useful not only in cold climates. When connected to power they get hot very 
quickly and not only keep ice off the mirrors, they also keep them dry all 
the time - fog or rain! In my opinion this is a must have option from Alaska 
down to Florida - I remember those evenings when I used to live in FL when I 
couldn't keep the water from condensing on my mirrors.... I thought "what I 
would give for the heaters". For that price... I'm getting a set for my D.
The shipping should be about $5 to $10 registered mail - 6 day delivery to 
the US. I'll have an exact quote soon.
Soon I will upload some pictures to the photos section of the DML so you can 
see the difference between regular and new mirrors.
Installation: I highly recommend removing the old glass before installing 
the new one. I had one person ask me about my opinion on gluing new mirrors 
on top of the old ones. I do not recommend this. There is enough mass as it 
is now. If you add another layer of glass you might have a problem of 
vibration and the mirrors might tend to drop down after a while of driving. 
Removal of the old glass is easy.... you can do it two ways, either one is 
very simple. I will include instructions with every set.
Payment can be done in two ways - Paypal or Western Union transfer to me. I 
prefer Western Union transfer.
As I will get closer to actually placing the order I will let everyone 
interested know via private email. That way if someone does not get an email 
from me it will mean I never got their order in.
I will let everyone know thought the DML when the order is placed and when 
you should expect an email from me.
I will also post here when I upload some pictures to for everyone to see.
This will be all for now.
Thank you for your interest in the extended convex mirrors.

If anyone else is interested and did NOT email me yet, please let me know 
before I place an order. After that we will have to wait to get enough 
orders placed to have another batch produced.


Take care all,
Tom Niemczewski
