Hi,
I'm about to get my first 928S (a manual Euro 84). I just had an independent pre-purchase inspection done and it looks promising.
There are some minor issues like a broken left side mirror.
Picture attached. I was able to find a 911 mirror very near to where I live, and wondered if these are interchangeable?
There seems to be a screw on the 911 part, which I don't see on the 928.

Any suggestions on whether this should work? Alternatively, instead of replacing the whole mirror unit, can the internals be transferred to solve my problem?

Thanks a lot!

 

Ok, so excuse me for being overly enthousiastic. I should have done my due diligence. I have found this video which effectively shows how to solve my problem without a new mirror!


Thanks anyway!

 

Can anyone help with how to stop the passenger side mirror from swinging(blue arrow)?
Is it the red nut that is stripped? Do I have a bad spring?
I realize the mirror needs to swing out to access the nut that secures the base of the mirror to the door.
But before i go down this rabbit hole I want to be sure I've pre ordered any relevant parts I'll need.

 

needs a ton of pressure to compress the spring
hard to do by hand but possible, (you need a big Greek friend)
