We are extremely happy to offer this high-quality rear-view mirror, which installs perfectly into any year Vanagon (1980-91). Available in black only.

Note: The mirror glass on this product is slightly smaller than the original mirror, therefore the field of vision is slightly reduced.

As stated up front, these mirrors are smaller than the OEM ones which you can't get anymore. My guess is they are replacements for regular bugs, squarebacks, fastbacks, etc. However, as I hoped to show in my pictures, using the mirror in a Westy works just fine. The mirror covers all the area of your rear window. Painted this new mirror Brown to match the one I replaced. Took paint just fine. 4 stars is due to the size hoping one day a source for the OEM sized mirrors becomes available.

The product is smaller than the original, but it is of solid quality and nice to have in place instead of the old one flopping around. The video on how to replace it was helpful, but I would add a segment in there about how to take it off as well as put it on.

My 42 year-old mirror was crumbling into plastic dust. It is a relief to replace it with something fresh and solid. The new one is a bit smaller, but it still offers more than a full view of the rear window. I give full credit to GoWesty for finding so many replacement parts for our Vanagons.

Yep!

Snapped right in, easy install. Smaller than original, as they say. Wonder why? But plenty big to see through the Westy cabinets in back...

Plenty big

At least for my Westfalia, the mirror allows me to see the entire back window. For non-Westfalia Vanagons, if you can’t see the entire window, it will be very close

I can see!

Easy install great quality, but really it’s hard to see out the back window with or with out it but now I’m legal. :)

You need the link

Fits perfectly- with the link on YouTube. I couldn’t get it in until I watched the video. It would have been fantastic to include the link on the GoWesty website so it’s right there when you buy it. But a quick web search and you’re there. Easy once you’ve seen it done. Thanks, guys & gals!

A tad small

This is a well built mirror and should last a long time. Super easy install too. My only gripe, is it's about 30% smaller than the original.

Didn't like it

Maybe I didn't read about that is a smaller mirror and looks like it belongs in a bug. Plus it wasn't so easy to install. Wish you could source a better mirror.
$50 bucks for this isn't what I would expect.

Only 1-star, James? It does work as described, no? We wish the actual Vanagon mirror was available as much as you do, but this is the best we can get. Do we wish we could sell it for less as well? Of course! We are always happy to have you return it if that suits. Either way, we appreciate your business. Cheers!

Super easy install! My original mirror crumbled from sun damage. This one is solid. Go west is the best. Thank you!

Old Mirror crumbled. This is a strong and similar enough oem solution!

Easy replacement and is a little smaller than OEM but it's all good. Works good and was happy to replace my factory one that looked awful and was falling apart

Perfect replacement!

After 42 years, the plastic on the back finally died on my original mirror. This one was a snap to install thanks to the U-tube video instruction from GoWesty. Fit perfectly, does the job.

Can’t always focus on the road ahead

Replacing my delaminating old mirror made me realize looking back at where I have been is way nicer with this new mirror. It isn’t quite as big but does the job just fine. Came quickly after ordering and packaged really nicely to ensure it arrived in good shape. 10/10 for GW again. Thank you!
