We have a page on letter car mirrors here: Chrysler Letter Car Mirrors (chrysler300club.com)
Skip down to the 1963-64 section.
The mirrors were supplied by the factory but installed at the dealers. They often did not follow the factory supplied template. Hence, the location of the mirror relative to the front door edge varies dramatically.
You cannot purchase the right hand wedge on ebay. You can purchase it from Bob Merritt here: 1963 64 Chrysler Passenger Mirror Base Wedge (simplexco.com)
The right hand wedge is NOT the same as the right hand wedge for 64-66 Imperial FYI.
It would make sense to mount the right side mirror symmetrically with the left side mirror. Simply remove the left side mirror, make a mounting template for the holes relative to the front door, and reverse it to use on the right side. Providing it clears the antenna (if manual) you are good to go. Power antenna is in the rear so a non-issue in that case.
We have a video here about the 1963-64 right hand mirror wedge and the mounting location variations here: 1963 1964 Chrysler passenger side rear view mirror - YouTube

Thanks Guys,
The irony is that in the 1990’s I sold mom and dads 300K hardtop that I had restored as well as the 300K convertible because I only had ½ inch on either side in our old garage. The cars stayed out of town and never got used so I sold them.
I miss the couple and that is why I purchased this one. Two inches is doable on a daily basis.
Was the right mirror mounted in the same location and the drivers side or a little further forward.
I also assume I need the special wedge. Has anyone received any feedback or had personal experience with the reproductions on eBay?
Best, James

I agree with Don. The passenger side mirror is also critical to backing our 300K into our garage which has a somewhat narrow doorway (although not as narrow as yours.)
