I'm a little worried about the fragility of the mirror. I've heard it's paper thin and delicate. What is it like to maintain and care for?

I have never had an issue with mine. I do avoid touching the mirror and immediately put the caps on when not in use.

I don't touch it. I use only a mount lenses. So I never take it off. Never had a problem.

I have one and have no trouble with it. Why would this mirror be any different or more fragile than any other cam mirror? Don't worry too much about it. When changing lens, as usual, just remember to point the open-end down so no dust settles on mirror or sensor. It's not fragile unless you drop it. Even if it were unusually fragile, when encased in adapter housing, what could compromise it? That's what I think. If you are concerned about its fragility, then obviously you need not be warned about touching mirror with fingers or objects when changing lenses.

The mirror is very sturdy. I packed it and lugged it on several plane flights with no problem. I would be more concerned about damage to the helmet if it was dropped.

Yes. It's soft, lightweight, and the mirror isn't really glass. It's like a shiny plastic or something.

I don't know if the mirror will rust. I didn't use it long enough. The mirror doesn't hold its position at all. It's totally useless. I would strongly suggest you look for a different mirror.

If you lay it down carefully it won't break but may be mal-adjusted when you go to use it. I lean the other side against a wall. Mine fell over in soft dirt and it survived with nothing but a bent screw. Keep in mind that this is so inexpensive that you can really afford to get a spare. It's is hands down the best mirror I have ever used. Fragile? Yes, but works so well!! You could always get some rebar and build a cage for it if you treat your bike like junk. That would save it.

Hi Christie, I also bought the mirror and after one day one of the lights stopped working and the button to turn it on and off was faulty. I actually think the mirror is made very poorly, no ghost, just a very cheaply made product. That's my option anyway. It's a shame because I have not found a makeup mirror as bright as this one again, I really wished it worked. If you know of another one with great lighting please let me know. Regards Catherine.

I have had my mirror for about a year and I have had no issue. I dump the water out after each use. I may just spray some sort of ant-mold stuff down in there now that you bring it up. Excellent question.

Hello!I bought this mirror a couple months ago and my roommate and I greatly enjoy it, but we both moved and had to take it down...I tried to save the silicone from the tube it came in, but unfortunately it got lost somewhere in the moving process. I just happened to read this post about the company sending replacement adhesives, and I was impressed by their great customer service, so I was wondering how I go about receiving replacements...I might be moving again later on this year so I was wondering if I could be given extra material just in case I do need to take the mirror down again. What's the process for doing this?

I love mine. It works great. The reflection can be an issue sometimes but not enough to worry about. Hope this helps.

Well I have not noticed that as an issue after couple hundred miles of city & urban road use. I find it offers a nice sharp view, fine depth & width perception. I would suggest reading all the reviews on this mirror and see if maybe someone see's it as an issue. For me, I'm 100% happy with it.

It's not hard at all to clean. I clean mine every time after I cook. I use a glass cleaner and paper towels. The same as you would clean your mirror. It's spotless. I clean the stainless weekly with with a stainless steel spray on cleaner, the same one that I use on my fridge, dishwasher, and microwave. It's not at all hard

not that I notice. I really like this mirror. I took it off the other day to just see how it was before, and I thought "how in the world did I drive without this?"

It's mirror and cleans just as easy. I have a toddler who loves to look at himself so I am constantly wiping finger prints. I do notice that it is mostly my vanity that I have to clean, we have two of these side-by-side and i rarely clean my husbands. They are beautiful pieces, the pics on amazon do not do them justice.

Yes, it's stapled in thru the back and glued to a piece of cardboard. I believe the mirror is actually a plastic mirror, so I wouldn't worry about it breaking. My 8 year old loves it.

It's made of really thin fabric it think you could wash it ...I doubt it would really hold up though you could probably just wipe down the mirror . I think it has cardboard on the inside....

I've not yet experienced this so I'm not quite sure! Instructions delivered with light offer detailed information that is easily understood in theory......cannot attest to the practical side! FYI.....I still love this mirror!
