New Mirror Gaskets & Rear Fog Indicator
The Gaskets on the outside mirrors had become hard, cracked and were starting to deform. So while on a Saturday stroll through the you-pick-it yard I went shopping for new gaskets. For $3 I got new gaskets for both sides of the car.
In this photo you can see just how bad old gasket was (shown after the mirror was removed from the car}
I removed the old gasket by sliding it over the mirror (same for installation of the new gasket)
This is what the new gasket looks like after the mirror was mounted on the door.
On an earlier walk through the you-pull-it while searching for some interior trim I noticed a bulb in the tip of the headlight switch
After getting home I installed one in my car. It took awhile to discover it's purpose but with the help of this forum it became clear it indicates when the rear fog is on.
