    Removing Runabout S800 Glass

    I have posted this question on multiple forums and I have not had a definitive answer yet.

    I am looking into buying a set of runabout s800's and I want to replace the glass with some curved glass to aid in visibility. Does anyone happen to own a pair and have you ever removed the glass? Any input would be great.

    I am well aware that rev limiter did this to his runabout m2s. I can not find any information in regards to the s800 specifically.

    I have not purchased the mirrors yet. I am making sure that it can happen before I drop quid on it.

    Nope. I'm ended up going with runabout m2s.

    I'll just go ahead and try myself then. Will make a write-up if I do succeed.
