C6 Vert - Width (including mirrors)
Hi all,
I'm currently thinking about buying a C6 convertible. Anybody know how wide a C6 convertible is including mirrors? All of the specs I can find from GM and elsewhere just give the width excluding mirrors (72.6in/1844mm)...and I'd kind of like the mirrors to make it into my garage along with the rest of the car!
Thanks,
Gary

I don't have the measurement, but I can tell you that it will fit a standard "8 foot" single garage door. I have a 3 car garage, with a 16 foot double door and an 8 foot single door. The Corvette gets the single door side of the garage.

?
Will repeated folding and unfolding, like once a day, diminish the rigidity of the mirrors attachment during driving?

Now, this is not on a Vette but it is a GM so maybe it is relevant. I have an '03 Silverado that I park daily in my garage, and every day the power fold mirrors go in so I can make it through the door. I've been living in the house about 30 months so that's about 2000 mirror fold cycles, give or take a few hundred. No issues yet, knock on wood.

My Vert measures the same.
