You are missing a small plastic piece. I used one from an Eagle on my Hornet. Go to any junkyard w/AMCs and they'll probably not even charge you for it.

The blue Hornet I sold recently is in need of 'something'.
Here's the scoop...you tell me the solution.
The car is a '73 originally with a tan interior. It currently
has a windshield-mounted mirror that doesn't look 'stock' to
me...but could be?
ANYWAY...the current BLACK LEVIS interior came from a '78
Concord AMX...and the two pieces of plastic trim that go along
the top of the windshield do NOT meet in the middle. There's a
gap, and the end of each has a 'U' shaped notch as if the car
had a mirror mounted between these pieces, at the center/top of
the windshield....like my copper Hornet X has.
My quandry is this: The '78 catalog shows all 78s with a glass-
mounted rear view mirror. So, is there a small 'filler' piece
we're missing? Judging by this auction photo, there is-

If so, anyone got a spare of that small, rectangular piece...
in black, preferably?
Or...
Can the glass-mounted mirror be removed leaving no trace or
is the windshield permanently scarred? And does anyone have
an ealry frame-mounted mirror available out of a Hornet/Gremlin?
Reply direct if you've got either piece. Thanks.
