(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Other than a slight difference in size, are there any other differences?
This is why I ask: I have 2. I took them apart and cleaned them. I set one up to be a passenger side and the other to be driver side. The driver's side mirror moves freely up and down and pivots in & out. The passenger side rotates up & down, but the in & out is fixed to one of 6 positions. It has a hex-type fitting inside and only moves when the arm is taken off and moved to the next position. Any thoughts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

I concur with Geoff Early and late differance, outwardly anyway, was the angle of the dangle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) In othewords when mounted to the stock location holes the mirror was at right angle to the door or driver as opposed to slightly drooped in the early mirrors.
Ive taken apart many, early and late but dont recall finding any that didnt "swivel" on both axis freeley. BTW Generally detents for the holes on the Pass side are already there ready to be drilled through. |
