I got to go around the row of recyclers in Sacramento a few years ago, picked up a side mirror for the 4 6 while I was there. They've got recyclers for pretty much any make. Found it interesting and cool to see.

When I got a good look at it it was a manual fold not a power fold, good thing I popped the cover underneath and checked. I wasnt too far away, went back and they replaced it.

I saw one of the Rancho Cordoba recyclers is selling a 4 6 fabric interior on Marketplace. But $2500 is a bit much for me.
