Re: [FWDLK] Chrysler Passing Eye Mirror ??

[Dave Casey <dcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The clip on design is because this mounts to the door frame. As Joe said, it
is used to look forward. Your fender mounted mirror is for looking back, so
you can't replace one with the other.

Oddly enough, my '57 Plymouth has no holes in the fenders for mirrors but it
does have marks on the door frames from clim on rearviews (the rusty, pitted
remnants of which were in the car with the rest of the trim).
