Making Mirror Supports

In this video I show you step-by-step how to make a filling piece to go between the door of your Aston Martin DBS and the Mercedes mirrors which were so often fitted to this car. The fit between the mirror base and the door is very poor leading to the mirror being unstable and vibrating and possibly leading to damage to the door skin. This filling piece will ensure a perfect fit for your mirrors and is easy to make (depending on your ability). Please remember to 'like' if you found this information useful. Thanks.

Note* After you put tape around the threads of the mounting bolts (3:20), just check that the bolts still pass through the holes in the door. If you put too much tape on you will have a sticky problem when it comes to presenting the mirror and the bolts won't go into the door!

You can buy these from Mercedes, same mirror as w115 uses. Fitted to mine 20 odd years ago.

Yes, this is a Mercedes Benz item for W114 & W115 ref 0001-114 for left side. I got my pair from Classic Mercedes Parts Belgium (€204.86 [the pair] in 2019) but in the US there is Authentic Classics, Staten Island (from whom I got the plastic gaskets). Classic Aston Martin dealers source from classic MB dealers and then double the price (of course)!
