You are correct. Edited to reflect proper part number.

I can't help the pricing, guys. I am not selling them nor setting the price. It is a significant price from drop (10%) from his ebay sales price and certainly well below retail. But, if you aren't happy, then there is certainly no obligation to buy.

Yeah we understand that it's not your doing, just opining on what I saw.

I haven't done any price comparisons, but I think that 25$ off the price of the mirror with a free harness and cover plus free shipping is a pretty good savings. That's roughly 60$ saved on the mirrors with the compasses and 45$ saved on those without.

To be 100% satisfied with the product received and it being brand new, it was a no-brainer to me to spend a little extra.

I agree, something is better than nothing for sure. Getting a new product instead of one pulled from a wrecked vehicle is great too.

Sidenote: Do the verts have map lights on their mirrors?

OK I have the Gentex 453 Series Mirror that I got used. I mounted it today and it seems it needs a single screw to secure. I don't have one. What kind can I use? Also there is no hole on the windshield mount for a screw! Does the screw just tighten to the metal wedge to hold it in place?

Here is what it looks like in the back:

Yes it's just a set screw, should attach to the bracket mounted to the windshield.

Just bring it into a hardware store and match up the threads to some of the bolts they sell. Some even have stations to help you find your bolt size and thread coarseness. I'm sure it's small and metric so it may be a little tricky to find.

Hell, try a dealership, worth a shot

Amazing. I called and Nissan wants me to buy a whole new Mirror to get the screw. I called Gentex and their distributor is mailing me out a screw for free...

im sure you all know already, but if not, Ace Hardware has a lot of screws including metrics and they sell loosely (including the fine thread pitch 1.25's) .

Yessir. This is the mirror without the compass and the one I purchased. The 150$ includes the harness and the wire cover. When ordering, just include in the comments that this was from the "jeremy" group buy. I'm hoping he will honor the pricing even though no one has purchased.

Yeah I tried to use another screw but it seems this needs a special screw for it to fit right. It needs a short screw with the end of it not threaded. Of course I can jerry rig one and force it on easily, but I rather not and do it right. Just me... lol

UPDATE: Turns out I got lucky on mine as the LED is amber too. It seems to work great! I would definately recommend trying to get a used one. I know there is a risk of it not working, but whats the chance of it not working? You can always pay with credit card/paypal and dispute. I got mine on eBay. I think mine came from a 2006 Maxima.

yah, since you're getting the official screw from the manufacturer definitely wait for that. the screw post was just in case if you wanted to approach it DIY style.
