Where do these go?.....and is this mirror right?
« on: August 27, 2008, 17:00:55 »
I think these should go on my car somewhere...The one looks like the curved trim piece that holds the leather at the side of the dash... but it isn't the same shape and not chrome.  Ideas???

AND I CAN'T GET THIS MIRROR TO FIT!!
It might be the wrong mirror, but my opening in the windshield frame is nowhere big enough to fit the deepness of this holder... Is this from another car?the only marking besides a logo is 4161

Don't worry, the mirror is correct.

The small plate with three holes is actually for the rear-view mirror. The little spring portion of the mirror snaps into this plate. First, screw the plate into the windshield frame using three chrome sunk-head screws. Then, carefully snap the mirror into the plate. It takes a lot of force to remove the mirror so don't snap it on before you've screwed the plate down.

The middle chrome strip looks like one of the thin chrome strips for holding the trim on the front inner edge of the doors, but I'm not 100% sure.

The third strip does not look familiar to me.

Wagas is correct on the rectangle piece with the three holes for the mirror and the first chrome strip on the front inner edge of door.
