Hey guys,
I'm replacing my passenger mirror cap with a new part as mine has a scratch down to the paint on it. I'm assuming a few years of fade won't be as noticable as my crappy touch up job.

Do you think "Left" is passenger side or should I get the right side?
Thanks
Parts help!

Re: Parts help!
I think u need to become friends with a good bodyshop guy.
Pay for both of you to hang out for a few friday nights after work.
Pay to have him do the job.
Come out ahead $800 from the price on that site.
... but... thats just me thinking aloud...

Its just a scratch on the cover, no need to replace the whole assembly, just this $40 part. Looks like it comes off clean.EX-KAT-35 wrote:I think u need to become friends with a good bodyshop guy.

Re: Parts help!
Your mirror cover is scratched not mangled right?
Which part # ???
P.S. The driver's side is usually the RIGHT in parts diagrams... according to my buddies in the know - but its been known to differ depending on who the editor is.

#7 in that diagram. $44 part. I think I'd rather just replace it than do the touchup work that still wouldn't look as nice.EX-KAT-35 wrote:Your mirror cover is scratched not mangled right?

Some idiot had his mailbox sticking out into the road and I hit it. I was just parking along the curb to go to a party and didn't think his mailbox would be sticking out over the road.

Oh and thanks! I'll be ordering the left one and hope its right!EX-KAT-35 wrote:Your mirror cover is scratched not mangled right?

Re: Parts help!
Depends if the part comes to u painted to match ur current color.
If there is no place to input the color its coming unpainted I would guess.

I've been on eBay on and off since 1996. I've always noticed sellers of auto parts constantly getting their right & left, driver's & passenger sides mixed up. I've work in the auto field most of my life, and in the salvage business for about 15 yrs. There is an industry STANDARD to describe the Driver's (left) and Passenger's (right) side of the vehicle. There are also term's describing the components of said vehicles. I'll give this a go and see what happens.......
First off, we are in the United States of America (NO, I'm not bashing, just stating a fact). With that said these are the terms that describe such parts in said country.
The right and left sides of an automobile or the engine are determined facing forward from rear of car or as from the point of view of being seated inside the car, facing the front (ie, from the driver's seat).
Driver's side = Left side (We drive left hand-drive vehicles)
Passenger side = Right side (We drive on the Right side of the road.
Hood: Covers engine, usually the front of the vehicle, exception being if you have a rear engine vehicle, ie: corvair, vw bug
Trunk: Covers storage space at the rear of the vehicle, unless you have a rear engine vehicle as stated above, then is in the front of the car, ie: corvair, vw bug.
