Default Wanted: D2 FL auto dimming mirror glass NS

The NS mirror glass on my FL D2 has degraded quite badly now and needs replacing. I'd really like to fit an auto dimming glass if possible. If anyone has one for sale, please do get in touch!

Many thanks,

Tom

Rare as rocking horse poo, so keep looking. Good luck.
You sometimes find them in the USA, I think A6 (C5?) ones are the same so check the part number carefully as they can be advertised as A6 not A8.
What variant do you want re curvature?

Sorry HP, rather slow response! They certainly are rare, I've been looking for ages. I'm sure I remember someone selling one on here not so long ago.
I assume you mean convex or flat? Would there have been a choice?
Would it also not be a different shape being from the US?

US are the same shape. But you get silly (easily ignored) warning messages on some of the curved ones.
There are 3 surfaces: flat, convex and aspherical (wide-angle outer section).

Quite possibly the LH convex one I bought; it then took me ages to find the matching RH one, from the USA (eBay) eventually.

Great, thanks for the info. Convex would be the best I think. The search continues!

8D0857535F - left side flat glass auto dimming
Around €105 new from Easy Square (genuine)

8D0857535G - left side convex glass auto dimming
Around €270 new from Easy Square (genuine)

Dealers can sometimes do hot pricing on items like that - I bought a new drivers side glass when I was doing the roadworthy (MOT) on my S8 after buying it. Don't remember paying that much... Maybe I did?

I assume you've tried the forum sponsors?

Pricing sounds about right, my (old) notes suggest 535F is about £80, 535G about £160, so double.
As for the Aspherical 535H, just don't ask......
(Right side are 536x)

I waited patiently for a pair of auto-dimming mirrors mirrors from our sponsors and finally got some secured after only 2.5 years on the waiting list!!
