We have a 2001 Viking Legend that has a "mirror" section on the interior door.  The door must have been bowed or somehow was rubbing against the other half of the door, and the "mirror" section is scraped to where you really can't use it.  When I called Viking, they said they no longer can get the mirrored piece, only a plain panel.  Do you know of any product that might work as a reflective mirror that would stick to it?  I already contacted a company that sells reflective, chrome like contact paper, but they said it would not be suitable.  Thanks.

The previous owner of our pup used umpteen double-sided tape squares and mounted a normal square glass mirror (with beveled edges) right to the upper plastic panel in our door.  It actually looks nice, works great, and who knows how many years it's been mounted there.  

I'm 100% certain I couldn't remove it without breaking the plastic panel.

The only thing about the installation that I would change:  They used squares and the squares show through the plastic panel to the outside in bright sun.  Looks lame-and-a-half.  If I were to do it again, I'd use the same double sided tape, buy I'd buy a roll and tape the outside perimeter of the mirror so that what showed through to the outside would be more uniform looking.

I had a plastic mirror panel put in the upper door panel of my Coleman a few years ago like you are describing. I went to a  local shop that does residential and commercial glass installation. They had the plastic type mirror used in your door. I just took them the panel that I wanted it installed in and they took the aluminum frame apart with the right tool for the job and used the original panel to cut the new one the right size. If I remember right it was less than $20.00 to have done.

Thanks.  I finally located a glass place that will do it.  The stuff is a plexi-glass mirror.  I'm taking it in tomorrow.
