I have a NOS Mirrormatic as well. Never thought of installing it. How does the mirror come off the stem just unscrew?

The Mirror-Matic wasn't standard on any model. And if they were installed on a car from the factory, at least for cars that weren't ordered, they were not connected until they got to the dealership. This way, a dealer could swap it onto another car they were trying to sell. See the attached bulletin for 1960 models.
Tom,
I could be wrong but I believe the Mirror-Matic was an option for all years it was available. I have one on my G that my brother Ed gave me as a gift, he found an NOS unit at a swap meet. Instructions
are found here,
https://www.chrysler300club.com/tech/techlist.html, click on #25 “Mirror-Matic Instructions by Marshall Larson”. Note that they are connected to the headlight circuit, as glare from behind isn’t a problem during the day, and the photocell would stay
energized with daylight. I love my Mirror-Matic, it works as designed. The circuit is fairly simple, and there is a tube inside the mirror itself that can go bad, but I’ve never needed to change mine. Back when I would take my G to Hot August Nights in
Reno, with the top down, driving through all the casino lit streets did make for a certain amount of Mirror-Matic action, so you can tune it out with the sensitivity adjustment on the bottom. It is a fun conversation piece, and does serve a purpose.
Was this mirror-matic rear view mirror standard equipment on a 300-H convertible? I assume it is intended to be self dimming. Does anyone repair these to work as intended? Thanks.
