Mounting Nut Mirror Inside

Mounting nut for mirror.
Sold each.
VW Beetle sedan - from 8/67 onwards.

Every Volkswagen Beetle is fitted with an exterior mirror on the driver side from the factory. The mirror on the passenger side was available as an option and was only occasionally fitted from the factory on special versions.

On Volkswagen Beetles from 1968 the mirror is screwed into the door, and on the convertible version into the window frame. Unfortunately, on the vehicles produced in Germany, Volkswagen did not fit the passenger door with a mounting device from the factory. The Beetles later produced in Mexico were, however, fitted with one. To fit the passenger-side mirror a hole has to be drilled, exactly in the same position and size as the driver door. Copy the exact position of the mirror mounting hole from the driver door to the passenger door. Drill a hole with a tapered drill and let it rotate slowly to avoid unnecessary heat that could discolour the paint. Treat the newly created hole against rust. If you have copied the hole exactly, you will find the place where this special mirror nut fits from the inside. Thanks to the special construction of the nut, it sits firmly and can no longer turn. When the mirror is removed, the nut stays in place.
