Alternative Rear View Mirror

On my XK8 the rear view mirror failed a few months after I bought her, the usual failure of the glass. I bought a new glass and fitted it, all works fine.

BUT, I'm really unimpressed with them, the old standard dipping rear view mirror with a lever is much more effective, in my view at least. Does anyone know of an old style mirror that will fit? Pt no. If possible ☺

Heres hoping.

Cheers

Terry

Jaguar only ever supplied electrochromic versions of the interior mirror so finding a manual replacement won't be that straightforward. Are you sure that your dipping facility is actually working? These mirrors do fail and have been known to lose their interior fluid. Mike.

Hi

Yes it works ok, its just I prefer the old fashioned approach, to me they are more effective. It was worth asking just incase there was an alternative offered at some stage.

Thanks for the reply.
