Been putting this off for a while (40 or 50 years depending on the car) as I don't want to drill holes in a perfectly good door but finally want to put passenger side rear view mirrors in both cars to make backing up easier.
I've heard you can rotate a driver's side mirror but not sure that really works.

What have people done and what's best source for a OEM mirror?? I'm not a fan of aftermarket mirrors. TIA

I removed my passenger mirror, not useful at all to me. I can see everything out of the corner of my eye or with a glance over my shoulder.

Any ideas on attractively plugging the holes? Might try some anodized black cap head screws.

Plastic Caplugs. You used to be able to get a few free samples from them. Maybe you still can. You can paint them too. Black button head screws would be good too.
