1962–1979 Mirror to Door Mount Nut – Weld-On Mirror Receptacle – 111857517C - OEM Number(s) (111-857-517-C)
Stop your Volkswagen exterior mirror from flopping, rattling, and falling off with this reproduction 10mm weld-on door mount nut — the correct interior anchor that gives the mirror stem a solid threaded grip.
The exterior side mirror on a Volkswagen is only as secure as the nut anchoring it inside the door skin. When the original nut strips, corrodes, or goes missing the mirror stem has nothing solid to thread into — and the result is a mirror that loosens, rattles, or falls off every time the door closes. This small but essential reproduction nut restores the factory-correct threaded anchor the mirror depends on.
This reproduction tri-tab door mount nut installs inside the door skin by welding or epoxy bonding and accepts standard 10mm x 1.5 threaded mirror stems. The tri-tab design holds the nut securely in position during installation and gives it a solid, permanent anchor point once set. Install it once, snug up the mirror, and the rattling stops.

Because Details Matter:
Exterior mirrors are only as good as what holds them inside the door. A stripped or missing mount nut turns a solid mirror into a rattling liability that loosens every time the door closes. This reproduction tri-tab nut restores the correct threaded anchor inside the door skin — weld it in, thread the mirror stem, and enjoy a tight, correctly mounted mirror that stays exactly where you set it.
