I am seeing a lot of feedback that it's not a real mirror, but plastic. Is it Glass or Plastic?

It was real glass when I purchased it, but that was over a year ago... My wife loves it !

I don't believe that it is a 'real' glass mirror. But I've used the reflecting types that you are referring to, and they are terrible. This mirror is awesome. Works exactly as advertised. It comes with silicone that you use to attach to your shower wall. Mine happens to be fiberglass, and after I installed it and let it cure for 24 hours I've had now problems whatsoever with it. I've had mine over a month now, and I would gladly give it a A+++ rating.

I believe it's metal but I'm not 100% sure as my attention went to broken mirror inside. Back in the box it went.

It is made of a crystal clear plastic, probably acrylic, which has a great, distortion-free reflection and is way safer in the shower. Also, it seems quite light, durable and easily defogged. Before this I probably would have insisted on glass. Buy it and I'm pretty certain you'll love it.

Dear Merle, I think it is plastic covered in a metallic colour. However, I have had the mirrors for about a year (after a rough) winter and they seem to hold up fine. Even if you have to replace them every couple of years, the price is worth the safety.

It is not glass, I think it is a plastic compound. I am heavy and it supports me with no problem.

It is glass and it is crystal clear!! I think this mirror is simply outstanding and I cannot imagine riding without it. Be aware it is large; not huge, but large. Its size is what allows you to so clearly see everything behind you. You know exactly what is coming up on you whether it is a truck, a car, even the type of car, a motorcycle, or, and I shudder to say this, another bicyclist. (No one is faster than me!) I highly recommend you buy this mirror. I've tried several now and nothing comes close to the quality and performance of this mirror. Hope this helps.

I don't know that the original was a real mirror.... The replacement that they sent me was very much like what the original looked like. Regardless - it looks the same - it may be a heavy plastic - I can't be sure without trying to break it - but it looks and performs like a mirror. Hope that helps - we're happy with the price and ease of installation.

It is neither glass nor metal. There is a plastic coating over the mirror. My guess is a thin reflecive material under the plastic that is lightweight. There is no distortion in the mirror either.

It is plastic. I wasn't expecting much out of it, but I've been pleasantly surprised.

It is glass. If it is plastic, it's a very good imitation of it. It looks and feels like glass, but I can't give you an exact chemical composition of it to show it's actually glass.

It is not glass, it is hard plastic, but it looks very much like glass just alot lighter.

It is the glass only. My mirror frame with mirror fell off and this did not solve my problem because there is no mirror frame. The mirror is real.

the mirror is glass! If you go to walmart and see the exact same package and brand, that is what you are getting here. Very nice quality kit.

It is not glass - some sort of plastic. It dose not feel lite or cheap however.
