I went to try on the original mirrors that I bought over the winter. The drivers mirror looks good. I went to put on the passenger mirror and ....aaack the PO had installed Baby Toranados but didn't use both the original holes on the passenger side. The body and paint job has been done for almost a year but I never thought to look at the hole spacing when I was doing all the work. Now I will have to drill out a new hole (hopefully into the original spot inside the door) but will be left with a hole about 1 inch in front of the mirror.
I can always put a nice shiney tapered screw in the hole or maybe find a nice looking black rubber plug to put in it, but I'll be damned if I'm going to redo the door. Right now I just want to drive the car.

Remove door panel - roll window up - you will be able to see the two nuts that are already welded to the frame - center punch from inside the door thru the nut to get the location to drill - and yes, I have a couple of extra holes in mine from "aftermarket" mirrors.
at least you didn't have the same jackass as me.. put them on the windshield frame!
Oh man, that sucks. So sad.
Bad week....extra holes front and side....
Did they get all the cars & trucks out of the sink hole? Did you get any pictures of it?
doesnt look too bad. maybe tap it out abit from the inside, alittle filler and some touch up/airbrush and im sure it wont even be noticable.
The PO of my car used plastic drywall anchors... So the holes (he didn't bother with using any of the factory holes) are waaaaay oversize and have this damn plastic thing in them. Some people...
