My newly purchased 88 Iroc has a power driver side mirror that is not connected and does not have the interior switch. The previous owner gave me a spare side mirror, one with the manual ****. The car already has the bezel for the manual ****, and I'd like to use that mirror instead.

My question is, is there some kind of retaining pin to keep the **** in place on the bezel? I know that the older gens used a "U" shaped retaining pin, but I'm unsure of the third gen. Any help would be great. Instead of rigging something up, I'd like to try and get the stock part.

 

Should have a allen set screw

 

I did more searching and finally came up with something. This bezel listed on ebay includes a retaining clip. I'm assuming this is what I need.

The clip is what you need. Locks into a slot on the raised back of the bezel with a 90 degree turn. 30 year old plastic can be kind of fragile, take your time, get the ball on the control stick all the way in the socket.

 

Yep, I sometimes remove them with a needle nosed pliers. Grab it on the sides and give it a turn. Same way installing them. (x2 on the plastics being brittle.)

Thanks so much for clarifying for me, guys. I feel that this part will be an absolute pain to find by itself. So far I've only found that one listed with the bezel for $19. I mean, worst come to worst I pay $19 for a little metal clip but I have a spare bezel.

 

Oh, and definitely agree on the brittle plastic. I went to change a taillight bulb a few weeks ago and the plastic wingnuts that screw onto the taillights literally just fell apart when I touched them.

 

Any idea where I can find this part?
