DX power mirror conversion

[snapper]

I'm trying to install power mirrors in my 89 accord DX sedan. I got the switch wired in correctly with an inline fuse. My problem is the mirrors I purchased don't fit in the door. I'll attach a picture of my manual mirror and the power mirror. I was wondering if you guys could tell me what model this power mirror was from? I'm thinking a hatchback or coupe since it's almost 3/4 of an inch longer than the manual mirrors. Also if you look you'll see that the manual mirror has a 3rd screw closer to the others, while the power mirror has a screw almost all the way to the far right.

I just want to make sure I purchase the right power mirrors next time around.

Thanks.

PS - the how to was exactly right except my accord didn't have wires in the door for power mirrors. I had to fish wires through the door. It sucked!

I think you're right. You got a set of coupe power mirrors. Where did you get them?? They look similar to my mirrors and I own an lx-i coupe. 4 door power mirros should be EASY to find; it's the 2 and 3 door ones that are harder to find (used). HB and coupes use the same mirrors...

I got the mirrors from someone who was selling them on ebay. How much do you think I can get for these on ebay? 10 a piece?

I don't think some sedan parts are interchangeable with coupes and hatchbacks. I know everything from the B-pillar forward on coupes and hatchbacks are exactly the same. I'm sure there's differences on the sedans. Try to find power mirrors from a sedan. If you can't find any, give me a holler and I can snag them from the yard for ya. Fair pricing.

You are correct. HB and coupes are the same from the doors forward (diff. front bumpers maybe?). I think $10 apiece on ebay is about right for the power mirrors. Weird how dude got coupe mirrors instead of sedan mirrors cuz coupes are kinda rare.

Yeah, at least I know they're coupe mirrors now. I hope these are right.
