Mirror Question ??
I got some 72 mirrors for my 68. Chevy of course. My question is, How many inches from the front of the door is the first screw hole ?

Re: Mirror Question ??
I used the measurements from the factory assy manual thinking I couldn't go wrong just like your question. (maybe a misprint in the book?) And ran into a limited vision also. Knowing what I know now a helper and a verification behind the steering wheel is definitely in order for it to really be anything but eye candy on the passenger door.

Re: Mirror Question ??
Somebody at Chevrolet figured out the issue with the wing vent by '72 On the driver's door the center of the first hole is 6-7/8 inches from the front edge of the door. On the passenger side, it's 8-3/8 inches. Sorry for the crummy photos.

Re: Mirror Question ??
Found an older thread with some factory prints and pics that shows GM moved the passenger mirror farther back in 1972.

Re: Mirror Question ??
Thank you for the info. I also see that the back hole is kicked up a little.
