    Was a passenger side mirror a factory option? If so, can it be added to a car not having one?

    Ryans-GSX Have fun, life is short.

    It was a option and yes you can add one. If this is for your 69 I believe they reproduce them but not 100% sure.

    Option depending on year . I see no problem adding a RS mirror . In fact Its a safety feature . I can't drive ANY vehicle without one .

    I have 1 or 2, but not sure how to mount. Is drilling a hole in the door necessary?

    The 1968-1969 Buick passenger side mirror was a dealer, not factory, option.

    The mirror was used on the entire Buick line.

    It is the same shape as the non remote driver side mirror.

    I believe you can buy just the mounting plate from CARS. The mirrors originally came with a template for where to drill the holes. The '70 template is posted on here but never seen the '69 or '71-2 templates posted. Surely someone has them.
