I'm reassembling my '41 pickup during the final stages of restoration. Today I installed the passenger side door and then attached a new side mirror. I'm either doing something wrong, or else these mirrors are designed really poorly. When you open the door about 3/4 of the way, the mirror bangs into the door glass. Anyone else have this problem? What is the solution? Here are some pictures of my door/mirror. http://s950.photobucket.com/albums/ad342/summerfi/41%20chev/

I see your problem, that tab with the small hole needs to be inside the door jam. Also there is a screw that goes through that hold to keep it in place. Take it apart and start over.


It's easier to get forgiveness than permission!
