Quoted from joefox22:you take out the bolt line them up and then replace the bolt thru the mirror blade
Thats as far back as the mirrors will go because its hitting the playfield glass channel receiver. The holes don't line clean up

There should be enough room to slightly bend the glass channel and slide the blades in. I had similar experience with regular mirror blades and had enough room/flexibility to slide them in.

Tried again. I still do not have enough clearance. This is the first time I've ever had mirrors not fit on a game

Can you loosen the glass channel to give some room? You could potentially remove the glass channel and dremel 1/16” off each side.
You need to trim some of the mirror blade off where it is hitting the back. The Bally/Williams blades don’t naturally fit without doing this. Had to do it for a Hobbit I owned. I may have a photo from when I installed them. Will do some digging.

What equipment would i need to use to trim? I have purchased mirrors for every game i have owned all bought from Cointaker. Didn't matter whether wms/stern etc. Pdi the only ones that haven't fit. My honest opinion is if we know the blades dont fit properly on jjp machines why cant the sellers just make blades that do fit properly.

I got mine from cointaker and they fit with no modification needed. Seems it's more related to variation of the game and not the blades. As I noted, you can trim with a dremel.

So i was able to line up the mirrors but the window glass channel has to come out and both can't be in at the same time. I know exactly what needs to be cut off for it to fit but I do not have the tools to do so I am going to have to return the mirrors.
