me too! - I have one on the passenger side ... highly recommend it - especially with top up on the Spyder

 

nope not really - set it and forget it ...

 

Did you do both sides? With a GT4 or Spyder, I assume passenger side is the priority?

 

Yeah I really optimized it for the "top up" driving situation in the Spyder, top down you can glance over either shoulder (in addition to checking your mirrors) "just to make sure" there is nothing hiding in your "4 o'clock" position,
top up its really that position that you need help with, that's where the asymmetric mirror comes into its own ... heated and auto dimming is not cheap ~$7xx but I think worth it!

 

For my seating position I found this solution to be a bit better. Not the most oem look but doesn’t look too out place either.
used silicone caulk to set the angle to my liking.
and significantly cheaper too.

 

What an awesome car! Love it!!!

 

I bought a set of these on my GT3 and didn't like them. I wonder if it's because I am short and sit closer to the wheel? I took them off and returned them.

 

Looking at the websites OP recommended. There seems to be 2 types offered. Clip on replacement for heated wing mirror, & adhesive direct stick on pre-existing mirror for non heated.

I did not opt for retractable mirror for my Spyder. Can anyone tell me if my mirrors have heated function , in order that I will be able to order the correct one. Thanks a lot.

 

I believe all side mirrors are heated. The only option that would affect replacement mirror choice is self-dimming.

I agree that it seems all side mirrors are heated. I do not have any mirror options on my '21 GT4 and ordered the clip on for heated mirrors. They have not yet arrived, but I am confident this is the correct choice.

 

hmintz- "..Removing the OEM mirrors requires motoring them down and towards the car as far as they will go. Then, working your skinny fingers as far behind the glass as you can get them, apply pressure. The "glass" (I think they are plastic) will snap off its holder..."

Just to be clear, you motor the mirrors as far inward as possible and then pull from behind the outside edge? My 981 repair manual shows it the opposite way, rotate mirror as far out as possible and then pull from behind the side nearest the car.

Expecting mine to arrive shortly and just want to be sure.

Thanks

 

I think either way will work, I have had success on 991.1, 991.2 and 718 by angling inwards and downwards and GENTLY pulling from the outside edge of the mirror assy

 

Mirrors arrived today! I installed them easily exactly how "hmintz" and "Larry Cable" described. Very nice visibility improvement over the stock mirrors on the US cars.

 

awesome did you do both sides or just passenger?

 

Sorry for the thread necromancy, but I searched up this thread to see how to remove existing mirrors; my mother-given lady like fingers just could not pry off/out the mirror. So I found a thick fabric coaster and used it to buffer a flat head screwdriver, using that to pop out the mirror. Obviously you have to be very careful to make sure the cushion/coaster stays between the screwdriver shaft and the mirror edge; not for the faint of heart. I seem to have been successful at not marring the mirror housing.

If you have manly enough fingers, that is definitely the way to go.
