sethaiyaar Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Need a RHS door mirror. Came back one day and noticed the black housing (part attached to the door/window) was cracked and mirror was hanging on its side :-( need to get the sorted ASAP. Epoxy and duct tape isn't holding very well. Im located in Sydney btw.

Stuart McK Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Hi Tai. Which side are you referring to as RHS? Passenger or driver? I'm after a silver mirror for the passenger side, but I don't want to hijack your post if we're after the same item... ;-) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/434431-wtb-rhs-door-mirror-preferably-silver/#findComment-7148331 Share on other sites More sharing options...

travm182 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Because if you are looking at the car front on, RHS is passenger. .. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/434431-wtb-rhs-door-mirror-preferably-silver/#findComment-7150035 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart McK Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) ?? how can 'Right Hand Side' mean anything other than the drivers side?? (in Australia) Hmm... you didn't try googling it before your comment I'd bet. There's threads on it, mainly because people aren't sure. So, if I ask the question in the post, then we're all on the same page. No harm, no cost. So, I'm after a KY0 Brilliant Silver mirror for a Series II coupe (passenger, LHS) - I'm advised...

sonicii Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) sorry, I didn't intend to offend.. just was struggling (and still am) to understand how the RHS of a car or anything else could ever be anything but the RHS.. unless the front/rear of the object wasn't immediately obvious. And your right.. I didn't Google, the idea that this was difficult to understand never crossed my mind..

Maybe they are commonly damaged and therefore sought after??

I really don't know but I checked out some images and I suspect the two models are different. I was also thinking that if the triangular mount was the same fit, if I got a pair it wouldn't matter but I'm not sure if that's the same either... It's probably too big a risk, so thanks anyway.

Stuart McK Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 OK team, I let my fingers do the typing and searched through Trading Post, Gumtree, eBay, japanese wreckers, etc for a used silver coupe mirror. No luck. However, I ended up finding this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-07-G35-Coupe-2-Door-Door-Mirror-Right-Passenger-Power-Heated-/131083085130?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AInfiniti%7CModel%3AG35&vxp=mtr&hash=item1e8529254a Is black, but I could either paint it or leave it to see how it looks with other black trim on the car. Decided to run with the latter, so bought one for the other side to match. All up for heated mirror assembly both sides $180AUS shipped. The order was also shipped the same day so don't think I'll be waiting too long either. I'll post what the quality is like when they arrive, if anyone is interested.

sonicii Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Umm. Do you realize left and right door mirrors are angled differently? If these are for a LHD car you might not be able to get the mirrors to adjust far enough to line the up for a RHD car. Note- given previous posts, I thought I had better clarify Right hand drive is what we have in Aust.

sonicii Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 yes, both sides are motor adjustable, but the physical housing is angled inward more when in the open position on the passenger side, so if the mirror is set central in the housing, it is roughly in the correct position for the driver. LHD mirror housing will be angled to be roughly correct for the passenger on a RHD car. The motor adjustment may have enough range to correct this, but it will likely be at the extent of the adjustment range. If you are able to adjust them correctly, then it shouldn't be a big issue.. just thought I would let you know.

I'll just have to drive leaning more into the left side - or is that the right side?

danny_tq Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hi Stuart What is the latest update on the mirrors? How is the positioning? I'm in a similar predicament, my passenger side mirror has snapped off (I was in the city one night, came back from dinner and the mirror was hanging off, I think someone might have kicked it off) I am also looking to buy from ebay from a US seller, but I am a bit concerned about the different positioning. I wonder if its possible to use the black housing and screw my silver mirror on it, would save me the hassle of getting it painted silver.

Howaitonaito Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 How about saying passenger or drivers sidr instead of being a bunch of argumentative girls. Also how about you stick a crow bar in your wallet and buy some from japan.
