alex 18 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 I am trying to determine what hole the mirror remote will go through to and be mounted to the door panel and cannot find a definitive answer. Looking at the attached image to this post, I would say the top round hole almost directly above window crank. Correct?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Power 74 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 If I remember correctly, you are correct. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex 18 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks, that is good to know. Can anyone else jump in here? Just want to to confirm. I would dislike cutting the door panel only to find out otherwise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Conway 264 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 The 69 and 70 cars used different remote controls. Which year car are you asking about ? Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danno 128 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 I think in 69 it was the longer oblong hole. In 69 it took a big hole because they were mounted at an angle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69volunteer 84 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 Yes top hole. Otherwise with the bezel on the door panel, it would interfere with the window crank. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex 18 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 My car is a 1969. I have the standard door panels which, as I understand it, means a remote with a straight shaft is used with the shaft protruding from the panel at a right angle. Is this assumption correct? The 1970 version was the 90 degree shaft, correct? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69volunteer 84 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 I have a 69 with standard door panels. Straight shaft is correct but the bezel mounts to the door panel so that the knob is more like 45 deg. 90 deg would mean that the knob is perpendicular to the plane of the door panel. Here is a link to the bezel http://www.cjponyparts.com/interior-remote-mirror-bezel-1969/p/ME2B/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stangs-R-me 121 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 Original factory standard interior door panels had perferations in the masonite backing for where the remote bezel mounts. Cut along the perferations, cut the vinyl, and install the bezel. I would think the aftermarket replacement panels would have this too. Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex 18 Report post Posted August 28, 2014 This is starting to make sense now. The deluxe door panel (http://www.cjponyparts.com/door-panel-deluxe-interior-pair-1969/p/DPD3-V/) obviously does have a cutout for the mirror remote bezel. My standard door panels (http://www.cjponyparts.com/door-panel-standard-pair-1969/p/DPS5-V/) do not have an obvious cutout for the bezel as you can see in the attached picture. Is there a way to accurately position the bezel in a standard panel without the perforations? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My re-pops didn't have the perforations, I used the OEM panel I was removing as a template to cut the hole. I can get pics and measurements off my car later tonight if that would help.

I can get pics and measurements off my car later tonight if that would help. My repops seemed to have a perforation for the bezel but it was not exact. Maybe it was for something else. I did the same thing and used my old panel for a template. Still needed some trimming after that. I wish I still had my old panel to send you. Good luck!

69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Here are some pics of my standard interior with mirror and the OEM factory panel I removed with measurements. Hope it helps.

I'm glad you asked about this topic because it made me document the measurements before the old panels get thrown out and lost forever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex 18 Report post Posted August 29, 2014 I was transferring your measurements to my door panel. Do you happen to have a measurement from the top of the panel to the top of the cut? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
