I have a 1980 Rabbit (Westmoreland - American), and have for quite some time been trying to find a suitable passenger side mirror for the vehicle. I did find one some years ago, but this ~$10 mirror was fairly small and would also fold up on the highway or against headwinds, requiring frequent readjustment :-(. The pivot that held the mirror in position was not strong enough to hold the mirror in place against the wind. I basically destroyed the mirror trying to take it apart and tighten it.
My driver's side mirror has the glass panel inside a solid non-movable shell, and is adjustable from inside the car. I have two mounting holes on my passenger-side door, but no third larger hole for an adjustment cable. But if I could find a passenger-side mirror like my driver's side mirror, I could probably remove any cable.
Or are there better, more robust mirrors with the same arrangement that I had.
Any suggestions?
A passenger-side mirror certainly makes it easier to parallel park and do other manuevers where you can't see that side well.
Thanks, Chuck
