Hello all,awhile ago I posted that I was looking for a set of electric mirrors from a firebird that matched a 86 Monte SS.Well after sending the guy 60 bucks for the 2 mirrors,harness and switch and waiting 3 weeks for them to get here,aarrrgggg!!!Not only are they the wrong one's,but there is no harness or switch..I will wait for him to fix this,but if he doesn't,then I will post the name......

FYI, No thirdgen mirror is a direct match for a Monte Carlo. Also, all US/Canada thirdgen mirrors (82-92) are identical, with the only differences being power or manual.

ES87iroc,thanks for the input,I wish I had this advise givin to me when I posted before.But here's what I did.I pulled apart the Monte mirrors and the firebird mirror and put everything from the firebird mirrors into the Monte mirrors,and they work fine.FWIW,the only difference I can see in the housings is that where they mount to the doors,the firebirds are just a little shorter and have a bit more curve to them.I hope this info helps others.I think everything will work out with him,as long as he sends the rest of the parts......Originally posted by ES87iroc

Sounds good, I actually put thirdgen mirrors on my 79 malibu, you are correct the contour where the mirror attaches to the door is the sticky point. I just modified mine with a dremel and was good to go. 

Please remove,all worked out.TIA
