Stacy,

Could you post the link to your Samba page? Searching The Samba for "16cv's" gave me junk.

Thanks!

Stuart

        I make those mirrors for GW And VC . 
         If you look on Samba for "16cv's" in my gallery I actually froze one of those and defrosted it and was almost as fast as a single original piece. Removing that lenses is dicey and you can loose your your heater grid . 
          They are designed as a lay over ,and I wouldn't do anything else .
