Default Rear View Mirror

Hello, I recently bought a 55 Plate C70 Convertible from a member of the forum, really pleased but a couple of niggles to sort out.
Firstly, has any member a manual dip rear view mirror( has the interior lights fitted) they would be willing to sell me please? The dipping switch on mine does not work.
Secondly, The car has steering wheel vibration, feels like it is coming from the rear of the car? Would it just be a case of getting the balance checked?
Lastly, The rubber seal on the drives side, at the top of where the window meets the hood is not sealing, again any suggestions please?

Looking forward to be taking a full part in the forums.

First off, welcome to the forum. Did you buy your car from Pepper by any chance? If so, you have an exceptional car at a bargain price.

Have the tracking checked and wheels balanced as a starter. If that does not cure the vibration, at least you have eliminated those two possible causes.

Cannot help with the mirror.

Roof/window sealing:

When the cars were built the roof was fitted and adjusted and then the windows adjusted to the roof seals. Both the door windows and the side windows can be adjusted. Door cards need to come off for door windows and interior rear side panels for the side windows. The adjustment is quite straightforward although very tedious to get 'just right'

HTH.
