92 firebird passenger mirror

I inherited a 1992 firebird, the drivers side has a small toggle to adjust the mirror. But the passenger mirror has nothing, anyone know how to adjust other than manually pushing the mirror? Thanks

Nope, you have to do it manually

Open pass door, Install a live passenger, close door, roll down pass window, open driver door, get yourself in there, position driver seat for yourself to be comfy, ask passenger to help with mirror adjustment to your liking.
Reverse steps to complete adjustment.

That's good, some guys get a bit wound up about stuff like that.

Re: 92 firebird passenger mirror

The passenger's side mirror is supposed to be convex, curved like a blind spot mirror. Maybe I'm just not pushing hard enough, but I've never known them to be adjustable, and never had a need to adjust the passenger's side non-power mirror either. Pretty sure the owner's manual even says the passenger's side mirror is fixed.

Never heard this, have always just adjusted them? or maybe I have never seen one you are talking about.

Re: 92 firebird passenger mirror

According to my manual the convex mirror was optional and adjustable
