Have you noticed how your stock side mirrors do not sit horizontal? Here is a photo of my right side mirror, taken with the camera set horizontal and the mirror straight out from the door. Notice how the mirror center tilts downward to the outside.

The fix is a 4° wedge-shaped gasket that replaces the stock gasket. My son will 3D print these on demand from TPU, with 95A hardness, so they are somewhat flexible and enough squish to conform to the slight curve at the top of the door. The price is $15 per pair, shipped to anywhere in the US. You can order them through this PayPal listing:

I can answer any questions here, or via personal message.

I looked up TPU resistance to UV light and found thei.

UV Resistance: Neither TPU nor TPC offer inherent UV protection, similar to PETG and PLA. However, TPU exhibits slightly better resistance to UV degradation compared to TPC. PP shines in this aspect, boasting significant UV resistance, making it ideal for prolonged outdoor applications.Feb 20, 2024

Maybe a coating could prevent yellowing ?

Order placed. Thanks!

Spray painting them before installing should give the needed UV resistance. At least, I hope....

Order placed. Thanks!

order placed...thanks. And thanks agian for the help withthe dubshop FI system. She is running well. Cold starting is the only issue.

Interesting idea. Hmm might be interested

PP = polypropylene

I think these are a great idea. The thing that bugs me the most it the pattern that 3d printing gets on the surface. I guess a person could just sand out with a few grits or they could be run in a larger batch in a vibratory finished like I use on small acrylic cubes.

I am on board to get a pair and will place an order for one set for #41 now

Thanks Bob B
Paypal none thank you

2 sets ordered. You should make it so the amount is not preloaded at 1 set.. I had to order twice.... cool idea.

Just ordered a set. I was going to order more, but could not change the quantity. Once these arrive and I install them, I will likely order 2 additional sets.

Thanks, everyone. I did not consider the UV resistance (I will ask my son what he knows). But since only the edge is exposed, I hope any problems will be minimal. Same with the 3D printing pattern with this format printer and material. Here's a photo of the left mirror on my car (still dirty).

Looking forward to these - nicely done!

The drup matches my back

Re: UV resistance,
You can always coat in UV resistant ceramic coating and do your whole car while doing so...

Ordered : )

I need 3 for drivers side only. Let me know how much and I'll PayPal. Shipping to 97330. Thanks, -Scott

I’m going to guess that like the mirrors themselves, they work on either side. You would just rotate the gasket 180 degrees for the other side.

Any idea when you will mail these out????

These work for either side. I will ask my son about a price for 3.

My son Harry went into production mode today. He decided to order a smooth printing plate. This makes the wedge base equally smooth where it contacts paint. The photo show the prototype on the left and the new result on the right. Note that the surface that contacts the mirror base still has printing texture.

He should mail out the first batch on Monday.

A photo from the "factory".

Looks like a great idea. Just ordered a set.

How do I order five sets? The PP UI doesn’t seem to allow changing the qty ordered.

I bought one set for now…. Or should I just hit the link four more times?

Jett, for now please order 5 separate pairs. My son has not been able to figure out how to get the UI to work for multiple orders.

Another update: so far Harry has printed about half of the ordered wedges, and will send them out tomorrow (I think via USPS).

Just ordered a set. Yes, fix the quantity button on PayPal. Need another set.

Harry shipped the first batch Monday, and more will go out Friday.

I doubt he will change the PP UI, so if you want multiple sets please submit multiple orders.

Just got my pair in US Mail today 1-16-25. Very nice!

Thank you,

Best Bob B

Got mine!! Very cool. Will install a set tomorrow!!!

Mine arrived yesterday, and I installed them this afternoon. Nice parts, went right in without any issue, and now my mirrors don't droop so much -- a nice improvement.

Glad first impressions are positive.

Here is the batch Harry mailed out yesterday.

Just purchased a set of these . It has always bothered me looking in that tilted mirror when backing up .
Thank you

No paypal

Just ordered a set.

Received mine today - many thanks.

Ordered a set!

Ordered a set on the 16th, nice addition to the collective 914 parts bin, thanks!

Thanks!! Got mine and installed it in 2mins. Just wish I had a passenger side mirror for the other one. #goals

Kuddos to Harry. I just received mine and they are awesome. I strongly recommend these for any 914 owner.

I agree , I ordered a pair myself and was thinking the same thing for my passenger side .
They have some @ Sierra Madre Porsche
Sales@SierraMadreCollection.com

Going to use 303 on mine should help the uv issue

Thanks--I will pass the word to Harry.

BTW I sure enjoy having a son so capable and cool.

cool idea!
Just ordered 2 sets!
Paul

@Ron914 - Nice! It's a sign. Just ordered a right side mirror. Doing a bunch of mods on my 914. Throw this on the todo list... why not!

Got mine! Thx.

Put mine in today. Very nice
