remote mirror control passenger side
« on: March 17, 2015 - 01:33:15 PM »
I am working on a 1970 R/T. The former owner replaced the dashpanel, but he didn´t finish the dashboard. There is a lot of work and some unanswerded questions left behind. The car has a remote controlled mirror on the passenger side. The cable and adjustment unit are just hanging under the dashboard. I can´t find any pictures where it should be installed, where the correct place for that unit is. Maybe on the left side of the steering column, there is a hole that could be the place, but I am not sure at all.
Does anybody know or has a picture that shows where to install that remote unit?
Thank you all.
Greetings from the german Motor City.

A remote PS mirror was NEVER offered in an E-body.

I think some B-bodies or maybe a C-body had that option.

I am quite curious on this one. I could have sworn that the RT/SE that I had years ago had a code on the fender tag for a remote RS mirror. Do you have a fender tag or a build sheet? And if so, is there a code for that mirror? My memory isn't as good as it used to be and I have been wrong before.....but are guys certain this was never an E-body option?  :popcorn:

After reading all the answers to my question I took a closer look to the mirror, you are absolutely right. The mirror has not exactely the same shape than the other one and also looks a bit newer.
I have to learn a lot more about the car, thanks to all of you.
