C5 Outside Mirror Assembly
Good Afternoon,
Was walking in my garage and noticed the outside driver side mirror was turned a little. Upon further inspection, I see that is turning freely. I was wondering if anyone knew of a reproduction mirror assembly anywhere. I see C6 mirror assemblies for sale on Amazon but nothing for the C5. Give this generation is notorious for mirror issues I am surprised none seem available.
Thanks for any assistance,
Tom

Search on U-Tube for loose C5 mirror fix, there are good videos on how to do that. I did it and it was not very difficult.
There are also some videos putting C6 Mirrors on. I didn't go that route because of the drilling even though the C6 mirror base is supposed to be better.
