Complete Driver-Side Exterior Mirror Package
OER normally catalogs mirror #9865801 and mounting kit #R313 as separate products. This Hawks Motorsports package combines both parts into one driver-side exterior mirror solution.
The mirror assembly provides:
- Bullet-style housing
- Mirror glass
- Remote swivel mechanism
- Preinstalled remote cable
The R313 mounting kit provides the corresponding components used to secure the driver-side bullet mirror to the door.
This package is suitable when:
- The original driver-side mirror is missing
- The mirror housing is damaged or corroded
- The mirror glass is scratched, cloudy or broken
- The remote cable is kinked, broken or missing
- The original mounting bracket is missing
- The original mirror gasket is damaged
- A restoration requires new components instead of worn original parts
Remote-Adjustment System
The mirror includes a preinstalled mechanical remote-control cable. The cable connects the exterior mirror mechanism to the control located inside the driver-side door.
Moving the interior control changes the horizontal and vertical angle of the mirror glass without requiring the driver to reach outside the vehicle.
Avoid twisting, crushing or sharply bending the cable during installation. Incorrect cable routing can restrict mirror movement or damage the internal control wires.
The interior remote-control bezel and retainer set is not included in this package. OER part #3921833 is available separately when those interior components also require replacement.
Primered Finish Ready for Paint
The mirror housing arrives in primer and is not supplied in a finished exterior color.
Before painting:
- Inspect the mirror housing and primer.
- Test-fit the mirror, bracket and gasket against the door.
- Confirm that the remote cable reaches the interior control location.
- Clean the housing with a product compatible with the chosen paint system.
- Scuff, seal or re-prime the surface as required.
- Apply the appropriate exterior finish.
- Allow the paint to cure completely before final installation.
Professional paint preparation and finishing are recommended. Final color match depends on the paint materials, application process and condition of the vehicle’s existing finish.
Do not paint or permanently modify the mirror until fitment has been confirmed.

Factory-Style Sport-Mirror Appearance

This reproduction is designed to restore the original:
- Bullet-shaped housing
- Mirror-base contours
- Remote-adjustment function
- Driver-side orientation
- Door-mounting profile
- Body-color appearance after painting
The included R313 kit helps complete the exterior installation without requiring the driver-side mounting components to be purchased separately.
Installation Notes
Remove the interior door panel carefully and retain any original components needed for reference.
Before final installation:
- Compare the replacement mirror with the original assembly.
- Confirm that the mounting bracket aligns with the factory door location.
- Position the mirror-to-door gasket evenly.
- Route the remote cable through the factory opening.
- Avoid tight bends, twists and pinch points.
- Connect the cable to the vehicle’s interior remote-control mounting components.
- Verify that the cable moves freely.
- Operate the remote control through its full adjustment range.
- Confirm that the mirror glass responds correctly.
- Tighten the exterior mounting points evenly.
- Verify that the gasket remains seated around the mirror base.
- Reinstall the interior door panel after testing the mirror.
Do not overtighten the mirror. Excessive pressure can damage the door surface, gasket, bracket or die-cast housing.
If the vehicle was not originally equipped with a remote bullet mirror, additional door or interior-panel modifications may be required. Confirm the factory locations before drilling or cutting.
Care and Adjustment
Operate the remote mirror control gently. Do not force the control if the mirror glass stops moving or feels restricted.
If adjustment is difficult:
- Check the remote-cable routing
- Look for sharp bends or twists
- Confirm that the cable is not trapped behind the door panel
- Verify that the mirror mechanism is unobstructed
- Confirm that the interior control is secured correctly
Clean the finished mirror housing with products approved for automotive exterior paint. Use an automotive glass cleaner and soft microfiber cloth on the mirror glass.
Avoid aggressive solvents, abrasive pads and high-pressure spray directed closely at the mirror gasket or glass edge.
