Beetle Round Hinge Pin Mirror - Right

Enhance the classic look of your Volkswagen Beetle with this reproduction Round Hinge Pin Mirror, originally designed for Beetles up to 1967. This vintage-style mirror is mounted on the right-hand side of your Beetle, attaching to the top door hinge via a threaded hinge pin. Ideal for both restoration projects and retrofitting, this mirror offers both functionality and a touch of timeless design.

Key Features:

• Fits Right-Hand Side: Designed to fit on the right-hand door of Beetles up to 1967, this mirror is mounted via the top door hinge using a threaded hinge pin.
• Requires Threaded Hinge Pin: To install, you`ll need a threaded hinge pin (sold separately). We stock a range of hinge pins including standard and oversized options under part numbers 111831421A, 111831421B, and 111831421C, depending on your needs.
• Reproduction “Sunny Climate Chrome”: The mirror is finished in single-plate chrome, commonly known as “Sunny Climate Chrome.” While it adds a stunning polished look, it requires regular cleaning and waxing to maintain its shine, especially in damp or humid climates like the UK. Over time, without proper care, the chrome may rust or oxidize.

• Retrofit for Later Models: Can also be fitted to later model Beetles if the hinge pin is replaced with a threaded pin.

2. Durable and Functional: Designed to be both functional and stylish, this mirror provides good visibility while enhancing the classic lines of your Beetle`s exterior.

Important Note About Chrome Finish:

This mirror features a single-plate chrome finish, which is ideal for “sunny climates” but requires regular care in humid or wet environments. There is no warranty on the chrome finish, as it is known to rust or oxidize within months in damp conditions. However, with regular cleaning and waxing, you can significantly extend the life of the chrome and keep it looking shiny.

Key Specifications:

• Material: Chrome-plated finish (single-plate)
• Fitment: Right-hand side, for Beetles up to 1967. Can be retrofitted to later models with a threaded hinge pin.
• Threaded Hinge Pin Required: Sold separately under part numbers 111831421A, 111831421B, and 111831421C (for standard or oversized pins).

Benefits of Installing a New Round Hinge Pin Mirror:

• Restores Vintage Appearance: Recreate the original look of your Beetle with this vintage-inspired mirror, perfect for those seeking authenticity in their restoration projects.
• Functional Design: The mirror provides clear rear visibility while complementing the sleek, curved lines of the Beetle`s classic body design.
• Easy to Install: Simply swap out the hinge pin for a threaded version (if necessary), and this mirror will attach securely to the top door hinge.

Why Regular Care is Important for “Sunny Climate Chrome”:

The single-plate chrome finish is not designed for wet or humid environments like the UK without proper care. To prevent rust and oxidation, we recommend cleaning and waxing the mirror regularly, especially after exposure to rain or moisture. This will help prolong the life of the chrome and keep your Beetle looking pristine.
