Anyone have this problem? Not sure if the mirror gaskets are cheap reproductions or my mirrors are the wrong year. Help me please!

How about a short intro and tell us about your ride.
Pagrunt is right. GM had several different length and angle pedestals for the various models.

Certainly! It's a 1980 Malibu, a true survivor out of the Midwest. The car is very clean, I bought it about a year ago. It has a built 355 with a turbo 400 (thing bites harder than my ex wife). Besides that it's mostly untouched nothing crazy. It's been lowered, has the cowl hood, and American racing rims. My father and I have been going over the car trying to breathe new life in it.

Depends on the model and option package

I would say then that he has the worng mirrors on the car. The mirrors on the Malibu are positioned lower and need a longer pedestals like a few have mentioned

Thank you for that, Tony,
Looks like a nice '80 Malibu. I like the color as well.... Welcome to the forum.
