Default Vanity Mirror broke…

Good Morning Everyone

During a cruise yesterday with the roof off, my passenger sun visor vanity mirror broke. The clips and some of the tabs at the bottom broke off.

My question is can I just replace the vanity mirror since the visor itself is fine, or do I have replace the whole thing (visor and mirror)

Also I noticed on many different part websites they are sold mostly in pairs only. I only need the passenger side. If there any place that will sell just the one side, or am I stuck buying the pair.

thanks in advance,

J

Not sure if you are saying just the mirror glass broke or the door assembly. To replace the mirror door apparatus containing the mirror glass you will have to remove the fabric around it. If you are inclined to do the DIY fix, I have a vanity mirror door assembly that I removed from my old sun visor. PM me if you are interested.

Thank you for responding,

I should have been more clear. The mirror glass is fine. The 3 little posts at the bottom that hold the mirror assembly to visor are what broke off. The lights and everything work fine just the tabs broke.

thank You,

If you need just one mirror assembly, I would try a used Corvette parts place like Vettenuts.

Contact Number:

If Vettenuts does not have a single one, try aescorvetteparts - they are also a forum used parts vendor.

You can also post a wanted to buy (WTB) thread in the C5 Parts for Sale seciton and see if someone has one laying around.
