I assume you also want to open the quarter vent windows but don't want the mirrors stuck in some weird looking position on the door?

Would recommend long arm stainless steel type to prevent these problems.

Buy a Tex one from uk if still made. Locally sold noname ones in a brown box used to be spun brass, then they cheaped out and used MS with about 1 micron? of chrome. I had one rust in 6 weeks. :(
