If you read McMark's 'how-to,' getting the glass out of the mirror is not that hard with a little patience. He nails the procedure. I've done a few, it can be done.
By the way, the early mirror is shorter, but seems wider. It also has a different arm.Both early and late mirrors use the same base, and the black plastic gasket has a slight "cant" to it. If your side mirrors look like they sag, you might have the black thing in backwards. |

Have to admit.....Mustang mirrors look
pretty bad to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) The shape just doesn't fit the 914 correctly. |

It's just what you're used to. It echos the shape of the front corner windows perfectly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Last I heard, Larmo was trying to scare up a set for his ride.

Cool - I have to do both of my mirrors before WCR. My driver's side mirror is loose but I figure I may as well do both. This was a cool thread to find for that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
As a follow up, the 914Rubber parts made the job easy-peasy. Both mirrors are now nice and tight- no vibration at speed. I was curious about the comment made above about the black base gasket being different if your mirror sags a bit. My driver's mirror looks as if it could be raised up a bit to eliminate that sag.... Any solutions? |
