This is one of those things that bothered me; just not very much. Took a plague to motivate me to do this. So the BMW mirror is an improvement especially if you like to see out the entire rear glass. I like mine but the pin that fit in the drivers side visor would come loose when I moved the visor and usually at a bad time. The psg side was fine and never come loose so maybe no one else has had this problem? I drilled out the other plastic pin and opened the hole enough to true it. Then I turned down a piece of aluminum, centered it, drilled/countersunk for rivet, set rivet. The visors won't fall off again.

Very nice, thank you for sharing!

Another project! First need to find a mirror...

I have a BMW mirror to modify and I like how you did this.

I’m looking to get one of those. What year and model BMW is that off of.....thanks Paul

Mirror off a 1600/1800/2002 IIRC.

I have one in my 914 and it great, but you do need to modify the pins or they pull out.

Thanks for that information Zach now I can search one out at pick-a-part. cheers

Nice write up thanks Kent, @76-914

And I spy a tool I do not have, Them things are expensive, you know it can be TIG welded right

So Kent, are you an airplane builder? Or do you just happen to have a hand rivet squeezer?

I can answer that before Kent, yes he built a plane. I know right, a man of many talents.
