The process is called macro-etching... My brother had his car done at Camp Crame years and years ago... I dunno if they still do it though.

But from my guess, any glass works shop (that do glass etching) might be able to do it.

Can anybody suggest any device to prevent side mirror theft as well as where to get/how much these are? I live near Banawe and the side mirrors of my Revo were stolen once when I had to park on the street. I had to pay P2,000 to a crook on a scooter in Banawe to get them replaced! It may have been my own side mirrors that I paid ransom for.

Other than a gun to blow the brains out of these side mirror thieves, what can you suggest? Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear that man. When my Altis was new, barely three weeks, thieves stole my side mirrors but left the housing intact. That same night, my neighbor, who had a relatively new Adventure, had both side mirror housings sawed off because he had some protective device on it that was supposed to prevent mirror theft.

grabe may protector na, tinira pa.. ano pa way natin to protect our sidemirrors? was thinking pa naman to have protectors installed..
if sa neighborhood nyo nangyari, it means pwede pa sila bumalik..

wala! walang pag-asa! yung etched ibebenta nila sa murang halaga at papatungan lang daw nila ulit. ang itsura nun rectangular na etching. puwede mong bilhin ng isang piraso lang yung etched. ang bagsakan ng mga side mirrors sa banawe kaliraya side, papuntang e.rod.
ang kinuha nila sakin mabibili mo sa kanila ng 1,2pares. iniwanan nila ako ng 8k na sakit ng ulo! pag umandar nako, tumutupi yung housing! peste talaga mga salot!

Paste it with Mighty Bond or any super glue :D ....OK na OK ...basag na yung salamin bago nila makuha.

Yun lang po.

Buddytan,

isang inexpensive way.
turo lang sa akin ito ni jet7 dati..kuha ka ng electrical tape..tapos idikit mo ng padiagonal pag papark mo na..pag sa malayo akala mo basag..so pwedeng kahit paano..malansi mo yung pipitik ng side mirror mo..lalo na pag gabi..kasi mukhang basag ang sidemirror mo sa malayo. Yun nga lang..pag nilapitan buking!!lagot ang sidemirror mo..

alam ko may nabibiling parang metal plate cover tapos nilalagyan ng padlock..

isa pa..pwede kang magpaetch sa sidemirror mo..paetch mo plate number mo dun..mawawalan na ng gana na pitikin yun dahil mahihirapan na syang ibenta.

i have read in one forum that what some people do to discourage thieves from stealing their side mirrors is they have their license plate numbers engraved on it :wink:

guess what? the side mirrors WITH PLATE NUMBER (etched) of my sis car were stolen.

Glue, baka pati mechanism masira?

Do not patronize the guy in Banawe. May market kasi kaya may nag susupply. Once had my emblem ng Corolla stolen. Bought a brand new one sa dealer ng Toyota.

**amacatan** · November 5th, 2002 12:39 PM

ang bilis naman ni barokbok mag post ng reply. kaka-post ko pa lang e naunahan na ako :mrgreen:

**theveed** · November 5th, 2002 12:54 PM

how about placing a clear lexan/plexiglass over the housing of the side mirror? secured by silicone lang, madali naman tanggalin in the future without damaging the mirror assembly... just a thought.

Yes sad to say it happens around here alot.

Mine was stolen a few years ago. I don't know how he ran off with two pajero side mirrors without being noticed. Ang laki laki nun. Whered he hide em?
They even steal emblems. My H emblem was stolen last year. And my friend's car had "civi" at the back someone tried to steal it ung letter "c" lang nakuha hahaha

Hmm tons of mighty bond will do I guess. Thatd take time to rip out.

**cocoy** · April 14th, 2007 09:20 AM

i own a starex.. i never had anything stolen from my van, thank God.. but i think this is due to the fact that original replacement parts are so affordable so there really is no market for stolen starex parts.... i guess parts for toyota as everyone knows is quite expensive.. this is probably the reason why there is a market for stolen parts... is this the real reason? just my thought.....
