Anyone have experience replacing the sliding mirrors in the head storage compartment? Mine are completely corroded. I know they are acrylic, can't find any replacements on CD, any ideas?
Thanks.

I just took mine to a glass shop and had them make glass mirrors

Take you corroded mirrors to any good glass shop and they should be able to make the mirrors for you. Shatter-proof plastic mirrors are a fairly common product and they should be able to get the plastic material in the correct thickness. While you are at it, you might want to add a mirror to your head door. We saw one boat that had replaced the galley sliding doors on a MK I with the plastic mirror material. Not something I liked - but it made the galley seem so much larger.
PS: You might want to add the year, engine and model of your C-36 to your signature line.

Thanks folks, yes mirror shop should do the trick, they are easy enough to pop out of the tracks.
