I recall replacing the rear mirror on my '67 and being PO'd that the one I put in there wasn't a chrome mirror backing. It came from the same parts car as the replacement front hood, so it had to be in the same date range. What I have now is a long twist on, no stub, white vinyl stalk (matches interior), black mirror backing, day/night. I don't\ recall ever seeing the stub on the original, but I could be wrong. I am the second owner, bought it in '77. Odds are I still have the old one buried away in one of my boxes of VW stuff. I think the mirror plating started to peel, leaving the mirror useless. I'm such a packrat, I keep the broken parts around! This one might come in handy, if I can ever find it.

This seems to indicate that we are ALL wrong here. It's been argued that the squares came with a longer stalk with stub, while I've argued that they all had the stalks up to 70. So at least now it's clear that there WERE mirrors in 66-7 which did not have the extra stub. Now, does anyone out there have a metal stalk snap-in (66-7) mirror WITH the extra stub that presses against the windshield? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
