And so it continues. I thought my Roadster had HOE mirror bases but after comparison I think they are factory bases with HOE mirrors.
This is the factory base unit. No real sign of lubrication. The gasket is clear. Evidence of blue sealant on the screw threads.



The HOE base is very different.


The streamlined look.


No mirrors.........


Compare HOE to the factory base.


A very simple swop. The new gaskets are black and I've added a bit more rubber under the end so the big bendy spring doesn't chafe the doors.
