No RPO number that iI know of, just a stock interior item like a dome light or ashtray nothing special about it.

D34 - visor vanity mirror

Some cars got duel ones (one on each visor)...One of my Formulas did.

Now I'm looking for a black driver's side ttop visor with mirror so that my TA can have duel mirrors:rockon:

They don't use screws. The mirror has two plastic nubs on the back side that push thru the sunvisor's cardboard core. From time to time the nubs break off and float around inside the fabric.

Some cars got only a passengers side vanity mirror, others have both sides. TTop cars got narrow mirrors, hardtops got larger mirrors. Its all in the shape of the visor.

It's curved, it's just the angle of the pic that makes it look flat. Plus the sunvisor wasn't pushed all the way flush with the roof. This is probably because the passenger side visor in all my third gens seems to want to slowly creep it's way down while driving.

to fix the sagging mirrors, remove the screw, tap the chrome peg into the fixture with a hammer... it'll take a couple good firm taps... then tighten the screw till *** can't get it out.
