I need a 914 replacement rear view mirror that does not have to be OEM and wanted to know if anyone knew of a brand that they were happy with in terms of looks and function that they could recommend.

Try a search for a bmw rear view mirror in a 914. I bought one from someone a few years ago and it fit pretty well. I don't have the car any more. Someone else may chime in about the conversion. |

I bought this 2 years ago from eBay. I believe it's a modified BMW mirror. A perfect fit..
Love it to this day. p.s do a search on eBay. they come up here and there. Good luck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

I ordered one from Garold a month or so ago, was a nice used mirror and it installed easily.
My old one wouldn't stay put and vibrated around. Could not be adjusted. this one adjusts and stays where I put it. |

Local flaps have glue on mirrors similar to the 911 one. I ended up buying a new stock 914 mirror on Amazon. Not cheap, but I wanted the stock look.

I appreciate all of the advice. The BMW option seems like a good one. Didn't see anything on eBay the last time I looked but I will keep checking.

I really like this one. It makes side view mirrors redundant. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
