Outback Mirror Replacement?

[Lloyd LeBlanc]

Can someone tell me if the later model Subaru (post-1999) OUTSIDE
mirrors can be fitted to the 1995-1999 series? These would be the
power-not-heated mirrors.

The mounts are slightly different externally, but appear to have the
same screw mount posts. These are the "foldable" mirrors, which would
be preferable to the odler fixed mount version. I am trying to avoid
buying the parts until I know whether installation is feasible.

TIA.

I don't know about the newer mirrors fitting but I do know the 96 97 and 98
mirrors fold.

Hmmmm. Well, our California-US 1998 OB mirrors are definitely fixed.
Maybe you had to get a Limited to get the folding mirrors, or maybe
they were available in non-CA versions for some reason.

Or were you talking about Forester mirrors? I think some of those
were folding type. Thanks for the input.

My memory is (fading, poor, gone) pick one.
