I removed my mirror completly, not because is was faulty but I found it blocked too much of my windshield. I did put a passengers side mirror on. It is suprising how much more open the car feels without that center mirror

I couldn't imagine driving without a center rear view mirror!!!!!!!!!! Thats really weird. Id find it very difficult and would feel quite unsafe.

I know what you mean norval. The mounting bracket for my rear view mirror and it fell off one day. I just couldnt believe how much different the ride was. It almost made me thing I was flying an airplane because of the wide open view.

Go get a rearview mirror out of a junkyard mid 90s Pontaic Sunfire - Chevy Cavalier. Thay are smaller than standard C3 mirrors and shaped nicer IMHO.
Thats what I did for $5 and the smaller size works great for the C3 windshield visibility. I think every one I saw was black.
The FOB mount is standard so it will mount right up with the nice Allen screw already in the mirror mount.
