I have been thinking of mirror options lately since I am about to send the car to body guy. Has any one tried the kind of mirrors that mount to the triangular "vent" window? I just bought a 96 passat, and naturally(being kind of low on imagination) , I took a look at it's mirrors, and thought to my self, "self, those would work!" added bonus, from the same family line! I threw together a photoshopped picture , for comment and ridicule!
let 'er fly! (please no comments on poor photoshop skills! I have NONE! the scale might be a little off, I think they would look a smidge bigger! This post has been edited by gopack: Feb 21 2006, 02:34 PM Attached image(s)

It's been done quite a bit. The easiest way is indeed to replace the triangle with plexi. Pretty cheap at places like TAP plastics.
Be aware that on the passenger side, the bar interferes with mirror visibility. So you would need a mirror that mounts rearward enough/far away from the door enough. Experiment. Some previous threads on the subject... Side Mirrors on Wing Window, Whats worked best ? Side Mirrors, I've seen them, where to buy?? I know there are several more threads on this. Will have to try some different searches. |
