Been putting this off for a while (40 or 50 years depending on the car) as I don't want to drill holes in a perfectly good door but finally want to put passenger side rear view mirrors in both cars to make backing up easier.
I've heard you can rotate a driver's side mirror but not sure that really works. What have people done and what's best source for a OEM mirror?? I'm not a fan of aftermarket mirrors. TIA |

TIA Rotating an original mirror is the easy part, finding the places to drill the 2 holes is the harder part. I had to disassemble the inner door cards, and punch through the original interior nuts to make a ding on the exterior as a guide for drilling. Make sure the mirror comes with the 2 screws for mounting, and be aware there are 2 styles of mirrors to match. |
