How to Install a Mirror on a 1991 Corvette
The Chevrolet Corvette is a sports car that has been in continuous production since 1952. The 1991 model belongs to the fourth generation of the Corvette, which includes the 1984 through the 1996 model years. The side mirror mount on the 1991 Corvette is a modular unit that detaches from the vehicle. The procedure for installing the side mirror is the same for all Corvettes made from 1989 to 1996.
