No one ever wants to drill holes in their classic car. Yet we see cars all the time with more holes than the face of a rebellious teenager. Too many cars come with door holes where mirrors once lived, and nose holes where new mirrors live, and we end up welding closed more of our share of these old scars.
The best solution is to mount mirrors in the aft windshield post holes, as shown in the pictures here. You’ll leave no scars. Here is Kim’s reunion Bugeye, soon California bound, showcasing this type of installation.
The only downside is that the tip of your sidecurtain will hit the mirror when you swing the door open wide. It’s a small price to pay given that so few people drive with sidecurtains mounted anyway. And the passenger side mirror is a bit obscured by the windshield post but it’s still quite functinional.
