Greg.
The GSO mirrors are over coated Greg, so they are well protected. When I washed mine it came up nicely.

Yes I had to cut mine out from the old cell as it had the extension of the mirror cell which would not go through the new rear plate.

I refixed it with aquarium grade silicone and installed the mirror clips so that those were about the thickness of paper above the mirror. The primary baffle holds the mirror in position and the silicone stops lateral movement. All are needed in the design.
