- How to cut new glass for any automotive mirror that needs it.
$5 Glass cutter WORKS AWESOME: amzn.to/3Oodfqq
Shoe Goo.. THE DUCT TAPE of glues: amzn.to/3PmfFHn
Mirror Glass: Target or Walmart for $5-7 you get a 12-48" piece
You can buy diamond burrs ( amzn.to/3Pj7ZWh ) and blades ( amzn.to/3yMw68S ) that will help smooth glass edges but it's really not necessary unless you have a lot to remove. OIL: not completely necessary but any thin oil even WD-40 would work (motor oil is too thick). You can even cut specialty pieces that only cover a portion of your original mirror and set it at an angle for blind spot viewing. On a side note, do not use the scissor cut fake mirror glass you can buy at auto parts stores. You'll fell like your at a carnival fun house everytime you look in the mirror.

Glass cleaner that actually works: th-cam.com/video/lmMpQI01BKY/w-d-xo.html
Tell Robb I sent you.
Hey Moe, I was sitting here watching your video and being blown away by all the cool stuff you always have in your videos and then you mention my video on the glass cleaner and I was even more blown away. Thanks so much for the shout out I really appreciate it. I think I already got a couple of subscribers from your mention.
I learned several things in your video but the coolest one was about the taillight and rubbing off the paint for the light to shine through. That was genius. By the way, if anyone ever needs a large amount of scrap or pretty decent used mirrors I have a tip. I live in a 55 and over retirement community of condos that has a trash day once a week. There are about 1000 apartments and I can't tell you how many times I have seen people throw out mirrors. If I wanted mirrors I would talk to some of the people who drive around and pick the trash to recycle every week and let them know I was in the market for some used mirrors. Nobody else wants them and they are going to be smashed.
Thanks again Moe.
After 35 years in the glass business, I can tell you a couple things. Over all you did well, however, you sell the need for oil short. It doesn’t lubricate , but keeps the score from freezing and breaking wrong, especially on thicker glass. Kerosene actually works the best. Secondly, there is absolutely no need to tap your score after you make it. It doesn’t do a thing. Also, a good pattern cutter is essential. Now, about the mirror itself. Autos actually use a type of see through mirror where a percentage of light is absorbed. It becomes painfully obvious why at night when someone is behind you with the brights on. That’s also how turn signals are seen through the mirror. The electro coated mirrors ( with the silver backing) is not suitable for outdoor use, as demonstrated by the condition of the drivers side mirror. One last thing, auto glass shops, and even auto parts stores can order the right mirror at a decent price. Over all, however, you provided a good demonstration in glass cutting. Keep up the good work
stop trying to convince me to buy! i need cheap god damnit
This guy makes Sense now I don't know what to do I want it safe and now days with dam LED headlights reg mirror would blind me I'm sure. then I would have to road rage the guy behind me for blinding me with my bad mirror
My absolute favorite fix-it channel. Everything from batteries to plastic to tire repair and beyond. My go to place you never disappoint. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Man
I've had the benefit of having a friend who works at a glass company. They supply glass for widows to some major window manufacturers. Of course, he makes it look easy, easier than you made it look. He is keenly aware of the sharpness of his cutter. Really fresh cutters, good quality, means firm pressure but not having to lean into it. He's cut probably millions of lineal ft, some decorative, some as thick as 1/2". The sound of the cut will tell. Great idea doing DIY, I've got a couple of tall truck mirrors this will do nicely.
Awesome
The mirrors on my work van were the melted plastic kind. I went into a CVS, bought a hand mirror and took a soldering iron, and welded it to the frame the mirror was in. Stayed that way for 7 years..until some wiseass decided to smash it while I was parked. 7 years of bad luck for them.
That's awesome.
oilstone also works great for sanding the edges
I love the idea about using cheap full length mirror for what ever project you need. I use mirrors for the printing surfaces of my 3-D printers. I always bought the 12 x 12 mirrors and cut them down. Awesome
I will say the larger mirror has a hot glue on frame. It breaks right off and then a cardboard back is glued in a few spots around the edges. It also comes off easily but sometimes some small dalops of glue need to be peeled off the back of the mirror around the edges.
I counted it up, thats about 9400 years of mediocre luck after this video.
I'm grateful for all you have taught me for many years now. Always a delightful ending when Ginger comes into the video. Most tutorials show the replacement process, but you take it one step further by making the custom fit piece. Thanks and all the best from New Rochelle N.Y.
Thanks man
At around 7:13 you had some issue, probably why it didn't break cleanly in that spot, great job though. I wouldn't have thought of leaving the old mirror in there and gluing the new one on it
I actually went over my line on accident.
Been watching your videos for years and you always do excellent at explaining things. Hope to keep watching for years to come. Keep up the great work!
Hey thanks
Really cool, Moe! I will definitely fill this away, in case I ever need to fabricate one. Thanks for the excellent video on this.
I had no idea this is possible, this opens so many possibilities - thank you so much
It's one of those things that I always thought was harder than it is. Good stuff
Reminds me of when I used to work in a double glazing factory.
We had the big sheets and an air table to help.
Crazy time. No OSHA then or rather there ( Ireland ) you had to be safe. Still lots of cuts. lol.
edit. Living in a ghetto city this is the land of busted side-views especially if you can't turn them in. Le sigh.
Great tutorial thanks man! I'll be checking out that glass cleaner too.
I love this channel. I now have the confidence to try it!!
In regards to sanding the glass. You can actually take off a fair amount of material with a sander. At uni in the glass workshop we had a linishing machine which was basically a large belt sander. I would recommend decent mask when sanding glass tho, silicosis is no joke. You can wet sand too, we did that a lot to clean up edges of cut glass and to smooth them out so they are safer.
Great idea. I am going to get one of those mirrors from Target, they are priced right.
The dollar stores sells 12x12 mirrors cheap as well.
Great tip! I always forget about the dollar store.
The Florida pool pump motor repair guy, approved ! that was good info, thanks sixtyfiveford
Outstanding DIY instructions! subscribed!
Excellent instruction. Thanks!
I was sorting tyres on a haulage lorry this morning, for a company, and the mechanic was fitting a brand new mirror, and he said it was the second time the same lorry had it’s mirror replaced within the span of a week. He was replacing the whole carcass , which seems rather wasteful, and expensive. 👍
You made it seem simple enough that I might try it.
Caddy keeps getting better
Love your work, for the everyday guy and girl!!!!
Hey thanks
Great job, as always. I was hoping to see you use an underwater glass-cutting technique. Maybe next time.
The underwater technique with tin snips leaves a very rough edge. Fine for something that has a gasket/edge but not generally for a mirror with exposed edges.
Never knew that tap, tap trick, nice work
I've checked every local hardware , but they said they can't get glass in with supply chain issues .
I will try the mirror an see if I can razor the coating off for some house panes ... Thanks
It's ruff living in the boonies , with the price of gas being insane
Uh yeah.....totally awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Man
Pencil under the crack wasn't a joke till you SAID it wasn't.
Great teaching video!
Great video, I'll definitely remember this.
You are a genious! Thanks for another great video!
Love your videos! Always learn something new. Thanks!
Hey thanks
Cool video mate .. ta for the information
Nice job
Every video you make is a banger
Cool vid bud..gotta save this one.......take care
Impressive job, I have never had much luck cutting glass in a straight line. Judging from how hard you were pushing I think that might be my problem, I'll push harder next time. Thanks for the video.
Good to see Ginger but what happened to her paw?
Yeah think that was my problem as well.
She stepped in a piece of glass mirror. Just joking of course :)
I've taken stained glass classes both for lead came style and the Tiffany Style and I can tell you pushing is the hardest thing. You do need to push hard but where you run into trouble is starting and finishing the cut. It takes some practice to push hard and not crunch down at the end sometimes even ruining the piece. He also did not mention glazier's pliers.
Pushing and listening for the correct sound is key. If you're on a perfectly flat surface you can push almost as hard as you want with no issues.
Practice on a scrap piece of glass. It’s not about how hard you press, but the consistency of the sound scoring makes. As long as you hear it all the way through, it’s good enough. Pressing too hard can actually cause the score to freeze, which in turn, causes the glass to break wrong. Oil when scoring is essential.
This guy is a genius I’m glad I’m sub’d
Thanks for watching
only came across your channel recently and love it, looking forward to trying this later. and attempting to repair a drill battery pack also(several the same brand that don't take a charge anymore)
Awesome.
Diamond cut off wheels work great for this
Nice thank you
Great video thanks
Hey thanks
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Awesome video now I know
Thank you Bro ! Love your show !
Hey thanks
Great video! 👍
Thanks
Thats cool. Thanks,
Cool
Excellent (but I don't see a link to that DIY glass cleaner vid).
Aha! Here it is at the top of the comments.
nice thx
Sir, we love what you do. We're did uou learn to do all these things?
awesome video
Thanks for watching
I was going to go to the glass place to see about them going it but I think I will give it a try because of this video I just hope I don't cut a finger off 😮
Aren't those side mirrors supposed to be "double paned" so objects are closer than they appear?
The passenger mirrors on most modern cars with tiny mirrors are convex/slightly curved to give a slightly wider field of view. The drivers is flat. I've done passenger mirrors and the difference is so small you'd only notice it in a side by side comparison.
Awesome
Thanks for watching
The salty doggie but I have to farm my mirrors out. Too old and crotchety! Thanks and BLESSINGS 2 yall!
You Rock Brother !
No, you rock!
Love videos like this!
Hey thanks
Craftsman, thanks
Cool. Knew the technique, but never had need to cut glass or mirror. Nice to see how easy it actually is. Though I've been warned that sanding should be done with respirator or at least outside.
wow, that's impressive. And you are right about not using a grinding wheel (I found out the hard way). Knowing how to use sanding discs or concrete for the final touches is super helpful.
A diamond glass hand hone is much better. Might even try a diamond disc too
@@staind288 I didn't even know there was such a thing as a diamond glass hone...thanks!
@@duanek9892 indeed but I believe the technical term is diamond lapping plate
regular sandpaper on an orbital or better yet a belt sander works great. its what we used in the glass workshop at uni
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent , I have a broken mirror on my bike that is expensive to replace
Thanks for watching
Another excellent & helpful DIY video. Had you in mind 2day changing some Snowblower tires. Luckily a few long pry bars & some 50/50 mix , they unbeaded & we're removed !
Awesome
It's similar to scoring and breaking drywall
Exactly.
Nice hope I can hold the dang cutter( scribe)😳
Sweet hack Moe.
I've seen now where wetting the score with just a little bit of water also helps. Glass-cutters would use their own spit.
FYI You can cut glass with a tin snip underwater..circles no problem.
True. Water isn't necessary though as it just keeps the dust/chips from moving. It leaves a very rough cut and can chip the reflective coating off the back in noticable chunks.
@@sixtyfiveford Ive never cut a mirror underwater ..just thin glass but I believe the water does dampen vibrations or something like that to cut what would not work dry.
Maybe some of that glass cleaner could make it to windows of the truck 🤏
👍👍👍
How do you keep the silver from coming off when water gets behind it ????
Most mirrors have an actual gray paint over the silver. So it won't just wash off.
Where's the link to the glass cleaner?
Just look up youtube Robb's Homemade Life and search glass cleaner.
Hey to SIXTYFIVEFORD from
St. George, formerly from Magna & SLC
I have never been good at cutting glass I should practice My drivers side mirror is broke in 3 pieces so I see multiples of the same car passing me
That'll drive you nuts
Another successful fix! I have about an 80% success rate cutting glass and 100% rate busting my ass.
LoL
I prefer my mirrors curved tho
Love every vid you do. Question: what kind of dog do you have? My wife and I just got our first ever puppy - a rat terrier. Very cute at 2 1/2 months and is very responsive to simple training, but also the spawn of satan some of the time.😂
I've always wondered why CO2 powered bb guns don't take the paintball CO2 tanks?! How about a video?
Or maybe modify the bug hunter salt gun on video?
@12:42 which car's mirror is that?
Will it work without putting something long and hard under my crack
Possibly...
Now THAT... was just wrong on so many levels! Stop! Don't even think about it - you don't want it getting in your head! 😝🤢

If you could find silicon carbide sandpaper or belts that cuts glass very cleanly and will leave a nice matte edge
On my vw they melt and fall off.
My buddies 14 Passat just had that happen.
I recently replaced a section of glass in a large picture frame for my daughter. It cost me forty bucks for a 2' x 3' chunk of 1/8" glass. Seemed a biut pricey to me. Anyone know a good source for glass like this? With Moe's tutorial, I feel confident I could make the size I need out of a larger piece.
Go to your local goodwill. They usually have tons of picture frames of that size for next to no money. Buy it and just use the glass.
@@PJBonoVox good point. I might just do it preemptively and get some glass in stock.
@@corey6393 To be fair the only reason I know that is because whenever I need a mirror (to use a flat surface for sanding or something) I head to goodwill where they have TONS of them.
I've picked up several broken larger mirrors (4ft-6ft) for free where just a corner was broken and cut them down. Though when you get this large 1/4" thick is more common.
@@PJBonoVox I use a small slab of granite counter top for flattening things on sandpaper. Wet sanding intake manifolds for example.
A broken mirror is 13 years bad luck 🤞🍀 how true this is I .d.k
Sounds like welding
Where is the link for the home made glass cleaner?
Just look up youtube Robb's Homemade Life and search glass cleaner.
Put a pencil right under your crack, that’s not a joke
Yes it was, made me laugh!
Noice
You forgot the glass cleaner link. Here it is.

TgWags - Thanks for posting the link! I was looking for it too.
Bro please wear some gloves I’ve seen some crazy glass cuts that made the guys skin look like it was the glove
Ginger injured again? 🥺
She injured her toe a month+ ago. Then licked the area above the bandage so when the toe was better she had a rash/sore. So more/higher bandage. Dang dog.
I cringe watching him cut.
You should see the parts I cut out of the video....
@@sixtyfiveford When I was a glazier I may done 600 of them.
