A Real Mera in Paradise (Page 34/713)

hey guys yes thats my ebay screen name. but i now am going with a ls4 instead of the ls2. i could probably swing the ls2 if i never launch it hard. anyways yes dan the base is different. these are correct vitaloni power mirrors with the correct mera part number on the mirror flag 30331 but the bases are different, slightly wider. other than that they are real deal power vitaloni mirrors with 30331 on flag. they are very hard to come by is the reason the price is out there. and the backs of these were black but someone has painted them silver/grey color i guess to match their car. yes dan i also have been told the 87's had a manual mirror on lh side and power on rh side. but also told 88's had both powers. i dont know though as my 87 had both powers, i think. ask nelson he bought my originals. anyhow happy bidding to all.

Gee, guess I should pay more attention--tough for an old guy!

OBTW, on my '88, both are powered.

I used my dremel and a cone-shaped grinder to knock off two of the melted pins. This was enough to lift up on the white plastic piece and allow the indicater piece to slide off (the clear plastic "thingy" on the right edge of the pic).



I then sanded down the tip of the indicator and painted it with some red paint I had handy. I reassembled everything and put a small drop of crazy glue on the pins that I had ground down.




Tom,

BRAVO! I'm sure all of us who have autos have the same problem. I was wondering how to get in that area and highlight the letters. Thanks for the great info. Keep up the great work.

morning.
say Mike, i was talking about the ebay ones....do you have the switch for them ones?? seeing that you have the '88 version the switch is different than the 87's for there is a selector switch for the powered LH and RH sides.....

mine does not have the selector cuz i dont have the powered DR.....one of the annomlies that got me so frustrated when comparing to pics of others cars.....thats when all the questions started flying.....i never heard that fact about the 87 DR side mirror not being powered no one said that was a thing to look out for.....stumbled on to this on my own.....really, it is fun ....deciphering these cars (Fieros)...the Mera aspects are even more intreging (in my case) if i have a early production model for the "bug" "gremlin" factor.....i like the little things that make things different even from each other..... well yall i fittin to upgrade the ole Mera X.. sooo back with pics.

My 87 MERA has power mirrors on both sides as do both on my 88s. The mirror toggle switch is identical on all three cars.

yes after going to the shop early this morning to look, both mirrors on my 87 were power. and my toggle switch does both sides. but i had heard the ds manual mirror thing before and read the sheet dan put up on here as well. so i dunno. maybe late model year 87's had the 88 mirror set up???? hmmmm rodney help us out please.... mike in oklahoma
