911 door mirror
Hello: I have an '85 911 Carrera and have been looking for some sort of upgrade from the flat right side mirror to a convex glass type. My mirrors are the earlier snap-in style. I can take a stick-on type if I can find one. A direct replacement would be preferred. Any thoughts? Thanks. Mike...

Look in PET for a convex mirror glass.

your local auto glass shop may be able to cut one for you at a fraction of the cost.

or you can simply adjust your mirror properly.

I searched through both companies current catalogs without success. I rummaged through boxes of old Porsche stuff and found the original installation paperwork with the manufacturers name, Multivex. A web search said they closed their doors in 2012 when the firm who bent their glass was no longer able to do so. Our host sells OEM convex replacement mirrors , unfortunately the convex is only available for the right side, and will fit 944s and '87-89 911s. I'm still searching, will let you know if I find something. please do the same. Willie

You want to order a European convex right side mirror.
I ordered one a few years ago for my '81 SC flag mirror. It has the 3 push in retaining clips, rather than the later style with lock ring. Look in PET at the Euro mirror options/part numbers. I'm sorry I don't have the # handy. Cooper |

Convex mirror source
After trying the internet, and local sources to locate convex mirrors without success I purchased two used flat mirrors so I could at least drive my car.
I followed javadog's advise and looked in the PET Genuine Parts Catalogue - Classic Genuine Parts & Technical Literature - Porsche Classic - Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG (dated 23.01.2010). It clearly listed a convex mirror for the 911 flag mirror. The last two numbers were different than the NLA part in Pelican's catalog. Armed with confidence I contacted a local Porsche dealer's parts department. I provided the part number 911 731 035 09. Requires special order from Germany ... they quoted $135 + approx 20% shipping and 10 - 14 day time frame. I'll let you know how it works out. Willie
