View Full Version : Side mirrors

I've noticed that the driver side mirror doesn't adjust all the way. The mirror itself rubs against the plastic housing, and it disallows it from being adjusted all the way. I literally cannot see anything coming up behind me on the right hand side.

Are there any other car models whose mirrors (with housing, of course) are compatible with that of a Nova?

I went to a guy who had a complete mirror with housing (as that is what I'm looking for) but was asking for 40 Euro for it. I thought that was pretty preposterous.

Youll get a Nova one cheap as I'd have thought. Nothing else fits without mods as far as I know

Same mirror, a copy made by another manufacturer. So you're not paying the premium for an original GM part

Problem solved. Website didn't ship to Malta, went to a scrap yard and bought one for 20 quid even.
