I've seen a few big, ugly chrome ones, nothing like the one that was on
there.

The painter/body guy was supposed to fill those holes.  Unfortunately, he
was a flake.

Power mirrors were an option on Tristars.

Cheers,

Jeff

I'm looking for an antenna for my Tristar.  It came from Sweden with a
(broken) pillar mount antenna that's gone missing since the paint job.  Been
looking, but I haven't found anything that looks right.  The original was
all black and kind of slim looking.

Here's a pic of the pillar (I've plugged the holes to keep the water out):

ive seen them before.. they run along the A pillar...  they are
aftermarket..   you shoulda just had the holes filled and went w/ the OEM
antenna...

PS i thought all tri-stars had power mirrors???
