Rearview Mirror Fix - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

XfireZ51 · 08-02-2010

After 18 years, my rearview mirror is loose enough so that on Chicagolands finest roads the mirror will tip down and need constant adjusting. Is there anyway to tighten this ball socket or does it need a new mirror?

As far as I know.. time for a new mirror..

When I was at Vette2vette in June, he did not have any either

Jeff,

Do you know if its a ZR-1 or C4 specific mirror? Or is it standard issue GM?
Be interesting to check your parts database.

Correct, due to the mount..

I would like to retro fit one with the Temp in my car (remember C60 here)

Seen a few with the Home link system with the temp in the mirror and the remote entry button for the garage done in the C4.

Gentex Mirror.. I saw those on eBay, they get pricey once you get the Map light and extras..

I have a mirror from my 89.
Let me know if you still need it.

I've done the mirror mod with the temp and auto dimmer.
It took 4 tries to get the button to stick on the windshield.

I need to figure out a way to do it to the Z with that special windshield....

if I do this I am not planning on the tab on the windshield, I will try to get it to fit the OEM spot

Don't replace it worth .000001 in the quarter if you take it out.
