new mirrors out there? aftermarket?

I've searched the local junkyards and can't seem to find a replacemnt for my electric mirrors.. the mirror its self not the assembly. Is there a vendor that sells them new? Or anyone who sells aftermarkets. I'm not lookin into replacing them with the stick on version.

Re: new mirrors out there? aftermarket?

I do also know that the back of the glass for the electric mirror is NOT the same as for the manual mirror, so grabbing a set off a manual mirror car will not work either.

true. i saw some in mint condition at the local jyard but they were manuals and have a type of pivot point right in the middle. i was searching and only found "how to" remove them

dorman sells them but im not sure if they are the stick on type.

Re: new mirrors out there? aftermarket?

Yeah, I've seen the Dormans - I assume they are stick-on as they are the same prices as everyone elses stick-ons. I'm also confused as to how it's going to stick since the OEM's are curved (at least mine are) for the "objects may be closer ...." - so I as well am at a loss other than finding a mint pair on ebay or the local JY.

Re: new mirrors out there? aftermarket?

Never looked that closely before, but ....

Some folks replaced the entire assembly with Vette mirrors - they look alot the same - wonder if they have the same shape glass in them? That would open up a few new places to look (vette parts dealers). Anyone ever compare shape/size?
