I couldn't find it, but I know there was a thread about locating & installing a passenger side mirror without screwing up existing paint, etc
Anybody have it saved? TC. |

Dont have it saved but if you take off your door pannel and look inside you'll see the threaded holes. drill up thru them but select the right bit size and drill strait or you'll take out the threads.

TC - it's also in Paternie's 914/914-6 book - although they recco'd using a puch up to locate then drill down from the top, which should be easier than fighting with the inner framework & window/regulator mech./etc. to stay straight, then make sure to treat with Wurth Zinc Rich Primer or something to prevent rust (somewhat anyhoo).
 Although I have the earlier cover version, as may you (sorry, I can't find that pic offhand). |

I recently did this on mine. I lightly punched it from the bottom. Then re-punched it from the top. Covered the area with masking tape to support the paint and protect the area. Then drilled small pilot holes. Then used a fine burr to slowly and carefully enlarge the holes until I could thread a M6X1.0 tap into the hole, cleaning out the factory threaded fastener below. Pealed the tape back over itself so the paint wouldn't lift or crack and mounted the new mirror.

On my 75', the holes were in the same spot as the drivers side. Just measured and drilled a pilot hole, then stepped up bit sizes being careful not to drill into the threads. Just don't stand on the drill.
Took maybe 15 minutes from start the finish, lined up perfect. |

Tc take a spring loaded center punch and feel around for the nuts that are already in the door. The punch almost self centers and is much easier to use in tight space. Once you have the two holes marked reverse punch them from the top. I started with a small bit maybe a 1/16 to make the first holes. Then just slowly keep going bigger. This worked perfect on mine.

Got-R-Dun
The Passenger Side was much easier than the Drivers Side. The P/S was as described.  The D/S, the holes were filled with Bondo, so I had to chisel out the filler from the bottom side, then do the punch from top & bottom to blow the bondo out.   |
