Do the mirrors fold in for parking?

Zedder · 10-07-2017, 04:09 PM

I can’t find anything stating that the mirrors on the new ZL1 fold in. Do they? If not, does anyone know how wide the car is with the mirrors? Thanks in advance...trying to fit it into a tight space!

no

The ZL1 is a wide SOB. It doesn’t do tight spaces well.

Well that sucks! I have a small bay that has an 84 inch wide door that is about 80 inches clear with the weather stripping that I keep my fun car in. I guess I'd have to park the daily in the driveway if I get one.

Seriously, what car doesn't have at least manually folding mirrors today?

Seriously, the ZL1

Maybe possible to swap out for the EU version as they have power folding mirrors on the SS ect. Not sure they would fit a ZL1 though...

Specs said 75". My Tape measure 78". It should fit through your 80" doorway; just be careful. Suggest you install a mirror on the wall in front so you can see your clearance on both sides in the front blind spot.

Ran a tape on my car comes out to 80.25 in to the wide part of the mirror, you may need to mode your opening.

Zedder · 10-08-2017, 10:26 AM

Thanks for checking guys. I’ll look into the European mirrors.

Nop, we have foldable but not power foldable. Another question we try to modify the US version into a foldable but cannot find a part# for the mirror with SBZA/LCA. Can someone please help us out with a part number.

Soliel,

Does it look like the base of your mirror matches the base of the US version where it attaches to the door? I’d like to put European mirrors on a US car and wondered if it was an easy swap?

Hi Mark,
