Wanted: extremely common item
I have a 1986 951.
As I pulled out of my driveway, the driver's side-view mirror fell off the assembly and crashed to the ground!! Thus, anyone willing to ship a replacement to me would be thanked lavishly. Give me a fair price and we'll make a deal. I can use paypal.
Meanwhile, while I have this selfish thread started, I also need the center armrest/storage piece with the door, Porsche floor mats, and strong trunk struts/supports.
...anyone?...
Thanks and happy motoring!

^ I did that. But the downside is that regular mirror reflects nearly 100% of light, while sideview mirror is actually only partially silvered, so it reflects much less, like 50%.
Basically, headlights will look a little brighter at night.
Be forewarned: new hatch struts have been know to greatly accelerate hatch delamination!
Also: if you want a new armrest because your door hinge broke, you can fix it by making a new hinge out of clear packing tape. It's ridiculous how well that works.

Can you describe the packing tape trick? I don't want to do a sloppy job! Thanks.
