Buying replacement exterior mirrors

Alright so I am having trouble finding new mirrors for my 91 rs. Ive talked to local car part places they either cant order for this year, or they have power mirrors but mine are manual. I checked alot of the lists for part vendors on the site and came up with nothing. Does anyone know a site where i can find a set? thnx

Re: Buying replacement exterior mirrors

I see them on ebay all the time.

I replaced my manual mirrors in my 1992 RS with power mirrors.

You can also use 4th gen mirrors I think, as well as Vette mirrors.

Re: Buying replacement exterior mirrors

I actually hooked them up. The hardest part was finding a electric mirror controller with the yellow lettering to match the 91/92 scheme. I finally found one, but the wires were cut so short it was useless! But I found another. I got the wiring harness with my mirrors, which were from a 'Bird not Camaro - so the controller on the harness wasn't correct, and wouldn't fit in the door panel ('Bird controllers are in the center console).

If you have power windows or door locks (which I did), there will be a chuck of flexible tube that runs from the door to the body with the harnesses inside. I just fished the mirror harness through there with a piece of coat hanger. On the harness there is a ground that connects on the door, so all you have to do is connect into a power wire under the dash.

ONE WARNING ON ANY MIRROR - they are plastic, NOT glass! I found out the hard way - my passenger side was dirty - real dirty - and so I thought I'd use really fine steel wool with glass cleaner - but it scratched!
