My car is currently at the body shop, and they guys just finished putting on the mirrors. The passenger side looks good, but the driver side looks like it points too high.
I bought the kit direct from Porsche, so they should be all the correct parts. We did notice that the base the driver mirror sits on is taller than the passenger. Is this normal? What have you guys seen in the past? Is there possibly another base that is smaller for the drvr side?  |

I don't know about those mirrors, but people have to shape the bottom of the flag mirrors to fit the profile of the 914 doors. You say the driver's side is "mounted higher", so it would be going up the curve into the top part of the door, tilting it like that. Maybe try shaping the base so it tilts further out... better than re-mounting it in the same lower position as the passenger side.
