Jerry Skidmore Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Does anyone have any experience with purchase of repo pass side mirror that resembles original driver R/C Chrome mirror from Ausley Chevelle parts for Monte Carlo. I know base gasket is different from M/C to Chevelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Do you mean this one? If this one, the gasket is fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Yes I believe mine came with two and if you use the wrong one it will look like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 After several years the mirror will no longer stay in position and has become useless. Trying to see how I can fix it. Maybe if I spray some glue behind the mirror, adjust it, then let the glue dry???. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 By looking at the pic of gaskets I would use the one on the left. As far as loose and not holding an adjustment are you talking about the big chrome mirror I pictured earlier or the "standard" Chevelle style that does suck at holding an adjustment especially the older they are?

Dtret Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 The initial post asked about remote also. Are any of yours remote? The one I put on the 71 is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Skidmore Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 Yes Thomas that looks good, nice and level. I guess the mirror comes with 2 gaskets for that purpose. Is mirror chrome plated plastic instead of pot metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is not remote. I don't believe the mirror for the passenger side is made remote. The driver's side is remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plastic aftermarket mirrors are the standard Chevelle style mirrors and do loose their adjustments easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) My right aftermarket chrome mirror has been falling out of adjustment for some time now. Thanks to this message, I took the chrome head off (one screw) tried to remove the glass mirror but can't. I took some of my 3M Strip Calk, pushed about 6 strips under and behind the bottom of the mirror. I haven't gone for a ride yet but I feel good that is is now stationary!!

stangeba Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Just took a 1 hour ride and the right mirror didn't move at all! Now if it only had the (object is closer than it appears) mirror 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
