Does anybody have a reasonable measurement for the Shelby side mirrors from the edge of the door, either to the base of the mirror or to the first mounting hole. I would like to drill the holes before I paint and I'm admitedly too lazy to put the vent window assembly in along with mounting the seats, etc. to figure out the position and then take it all apart again for paint, I've already done that with all the sheet metal more times than I care to remember

I don't have a measurement but you should have the vent window in place just to make sure the window will clear the mirror when opened .

Some idiot put mine on the car right in front of my wing window... never been able to open it in the 13 years I've had the car.

Given a choice I wouldn't have a vent window even if it wasn't a convertible. I don't tend to use them and I don't like the look of them. I thought about doing away with them until I saw the price of the replacement glass
