Guest Drake Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Has anyone tried to use a power mirror switch from a 90 or 91 Reatta on an 88 or 89? A friend of mine has a 90, and the switches look very similar in size. Mine works, but is in pretty bad shape. I've had no luck trying to find a nice replacement for my 89. Have seen some 90s for sale in the past. I know the switches were moved to the driver's door panel for 90 & 91, and a slight cosmetic change with a neutral position for the mirror selection.

Barney Eaton Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 The 88-89 is a different part number than the 90-91The parts book does not tell you the differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex_houston Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I was changing one out in an '88 today. I have a '90 style laying on my bench. I don't see how a '90 would fit the retainer plate to hold it in place on an '88/89. Also I note that the electrical connections are way different. I aggree they are similar on the face, so surely someone determined enough could make the switch. I suggest it is too easy to go o a junk yard and get one out of a Riviera which is much easier to find than a Reatta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
