oneriviera64 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi all! I bought my 64 Riviera not a long time ago and this is my first first generation Riviera (I had 71 before that) so I am learning to know this car "manually" and reading this wonderful forum. Yesterday I noticed strange button under the center mirror. It would be logical to assume that it is switching the lamp next to it. But no wire is going inside to the mirror and by electric schemes there should not go anything to the roof mirror... On the upper side of mirror there is hole but it is blocked with plastic plug. Mirror seems to fit like original but as I do not have any comparison maybe some of you from this forum know something about this mirror? Someone has switched it previously? What cars have these as original? Andres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Curran Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 GM offered map lights built into mirrors on some makes and models. Sometimes the map light was included in the “light group” or auxiliary lighting package. This was never an option on the first generation Riviera so a previous owner probably swapped it out.

rivgs Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 The gray rubber trim around the mirror face makes this a late 60's mirror ( 67 to 70 ). The rubber trim is part of making cars safer in a crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
