1975 Corvette - hate the mirrors!
My 75 Corvette has the chrome manual mirrors that just suck. Even when they do stay in position (which is not very often) you can see squat out of them. I have seen threads on how to tighten up the mirrors (which they need) but I just really hate these mirrors. Are there any other mirror options for a 75? Anyone have any links to where you can buy them? Really need something I can see out of and will hold their position. Would love to have something with a cable that you could control from inside the car...

BTW, I use bubble stick on mirrors, and use RTV to keep them in position on the adjustment crap.....also aid the bubble stick ons from falling off with the double stick tape they use....

I just bought all 3 (outer and inside) brand new mirrors.....my old ones were pretty bad.....they'll be nice now!
I like the look of the originals.....retro....
As for visibility,.....not much will ever help her anyway....she's a vette.

I had them put on during a repaint, but based on this other post it looks like the holes don't line up.

I have had several different year Corvettes, closest to my 75 was the the 78 I had, but it had electric sport mirrors and you could zero those in to where you needed them to be. With manual mirrors it is really difficult to zero in. I just don't like driving down the Interstate and not being able to see down the sides. I have the same problem with my Ninja 1000, you can't see squat out of those mirrors.
