           Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | Can anyone confirm the height of the stem for MirrorMatic on a '60 Chrysler?
I still have the standard rearview stem and that's too high.
Thankful for any input

         Location: Sept. 1958 | I had a standard mirror stem on my 61 Chrysler with Mirrormatic. I thought the stems were all the same. |

           Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | No, the MirrorMatic stem should be shorter as the MirrorMatic is larger than the standard mirror. Try to tilt your stem backwards as much as possible - that will give you better view of the hood and right fender. Surely there must be one owner here with factory MirrorMatic that can measure the stem? |

         Location: Sept. 1958 | Looking in the 61 parts manual, they don’t show a different stem. I haven’t driven my 61 in almost two years, unfortunately it was rear ended driving to the Hershey car show in 2021. |

       Location: So. Cal | I didn't remember this morning so I took a flashlight out for you and measured it. Mine is still mounted in the car. The top end has a little angle to it. But from the top of the swivel ball, to the very top of the arm, I measure 3 11/16". More like 3 5/8" if you measure from the top of the swivel ball to the beginning of the angled end. |

           Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | Thanks' Nathan, really appreciate it! Puzzled though, seem that your stem is a standard stem. I get the measurement to 3-19/32" (3.5950).
Please look at my photo and confirm.....
