Title: Who needs a power mirror?
Post by: TopNotch on February 21, 2018, 02:19:40 pm
I remember someone at one of our recent meetings saying that they need a power rear view mirror. I can't remember who it was. But we have two or three driver's side power mirrors in the barn, and I have the "guts" to a passenger side power mirror. I made a boo-boo on the passenger side mirror of my yellow car (the housing now has a dent in it). The only good housing I could find in the barn was a power mirror, so I took the guts out of it, and will put my manual mirror guts in it when I have painted it. So if you need a passenger side power mirror, and have a good housing, I can fix you up. I will even put the guts into your housing for you (it's a bit tricky).
BTW, the passenger side housing on my "parts car" also is dented, so I couldn't use that one.
It's kind of strange that they put metal mirror housings on a plastic car. My other cars are metal, and have plastic mirror housings.

Weren't they the same mirrors used on the Firebird?

Pat, I think I have a right side manual mirror.  All you'd need do is to have it repainted.  Or put a couple of those mirror socks over both.

The Firebird mirrors weren't quite the same. They mounted at a different angle. If you mount a Firebird mirror on a Fiero, it looks like it's drooping. (Been there, done that.)

I just checked and I do have a set of manual mirrors.  They're in very good condition.  The glass on the right side is in very good condition.

I've already sanded down the housing I took the electric guts out of in prep for sanding, but I could put them in one of yours if anyone needs a power mirror.

that would be me. I have a power mirror system on the parts car that I want to put in the orange car. I am missing one of the mirrors, but forget which one. Will be going to the shop today to find out.
