    Rear view mirrors (inside) - which ones correctly interchange?

    So, I've always thought the rear view mirror on my 87 Crown Vic Coupe seemed a little funny. Like maybe it belonged to a smaller car, or something.

    The lever that goes between day and night usage never quite moved the mirror sufficiently - and it always seemed that the mirror didn't show a wide enough view to match the car.

    I think I probably have some sort of generic universal mirror of some type in there.


    Firstly, how big is the mirror inside the car supposed to be (width by height)?

    Second, if I want to get a correct one, which years of which boxes have one that is right for my car?

    Thanks in advance...

    Go on Ebay and grab an autodimming unit. It's a worthwhile investment and hooks up with only a few wires.

        Try to get the 12" long mirror. You can buy them new at the auto parts store or get a good used at the JY.

          The stock rearview mirrors for these are stupid small.
