Driver side mirror location?
Apparently, the previous owner of my car moved the location of door mirror slightly because of stripped holes or whatever. Can some measure the location of the holes or mirror base from the top & front edges of the door? Thanks in advance.

Mark,
I noticed that your post has not been responed to in several days. I think one of the reasons is the lack of a good measurement reference on the door. I will give it a try. As a reference from the leading edge of the door to the base of the mirror, look at the end of the word AstroVentaltion on the glass and line the front edge of the mirror base with the last letter in Ventaltion.
Now for the distance form the window glass, I measured 3/4 of an inch from the ridge at the top of the door to side edge of the mirror base. This information was from a 72 coupe, your 70 should be the same. Let me know if you need futher explanation as I know this may be confusing. Maybe someone else has a simpler expression of the location.

Thanks for the response Ed. The car is in the body shop so when I get a chance I'll swing by & see if your coordinates lead me to the original holes.
Thanks...Mark
