It's a surface coated mirror of course so a common back coated mirror won't work correctly.
Actually Eric you can use a back silvered mirror for the top mirror. You just have to use the thinnest glass mirror you can find, 1/8" will work fine. Use a backing board to make it the same thickness as the original.

It won't be perfect, but it will give you more brightness than the old one.
