Yes, comfort seat material was an optional material.

What tool do you have and what size nutsert did you use?They "spin" seems to be typical. As to size, it's listed in this forums library under topic "Mustang Hardware Spreadsheet, 67-68" in file MHW67-68AP.xlsx (by application) sorted so you look up "Mirror". Then go to Amazon and find a "nutsert" for that size and the tool. Be prepared for "sticker shock".
(A sign in a speed shop I used years back in my "drag racing" days said, "Speed costs money. How fast can you afford to go". The same applies to "restorations")

Hey Mike
Wondering what you ultimately did to install your driver side mirror. I have mine off. The rear insert spins completely. The front one spins a quarter turn. I'd like to replace both of them with nutsert. What tool do you have and what size nutsert did you use?

« Last post by dkknab on April 25, 2024, 01:12:31 PM »Very old thread but I'm trying to get a handle on the etching on my side door mirrors.
My driver side is etched 12-DMI-7
My passenger door mirror which I have no documentation confirming when it was installed is 6-DMI-7
The base my passenger mirror is C7AB17743 A. Below that is 15 15 53 1
What do these numbers tell you?
I took off my driver side mirror. It put up a good fight because the rear screw spun in place since the insert was loose. After taking off the inside door panel and with a struggle, I was able to get the rear nut out. I'll have to determine how to secure the rear insert.
But my point is the base of the driver side mirror is marked the exact same as the passenger side. C7AB17743 A and below that 15 15 53 1
Does that mean they are from the same batch of mirrors of were all mirrors for multiple years marked the same?
