I leafed through about 80 threads and couldn't determine if the glass for this style mirror:

has a right side up or upside down. I want to put a convex mirror on the driver side even if the lettering is upside down.

I put an OEM mirror I picked up on eBay for a G van on the passenger side and it really helps deal with NJ a-hole drivers.

I generally sit in the right lane doing 10 over the limit and apparently I'm still a traffic hazard to everyone in an overpriced European sports sedan or riced out Civic.

Thanks!

The lettering will be upside down. LMC is the only one I know of that has new convex mirrors. FYI the van mirrors and the P/U have a different mirror arms. You can see here the van has a curve. The one you have pictured is for a P/U.

I found a van OEM passenger mirror with convex, it mounted right up to the K20.

I found a mirror only on eBay, some China repop I think. I hit the old mirror with a torch, shattered it, picked the remaining pieces off, and tidied everything up.

I took some silicone sealer, goozed the hell out of the OEM gooze and ran more bead and stretch wrapped it in place.

It's a "There, I fixed it" repair. :) I'll let you know if it falls out . . .
