In '66, RM would have no application as rocker moldings were std. that year.  In '65, it usually means rocker moldings.

I also remembered that Mirrors were applied at the dealership, So I posted before I thought this though. My car did not have rockers but did have remote mirrors. There is no RM on my car.

I believe when the Mustang was first introduced, no mirrors were installed at the factory, but it seems later on they were.  I have found the LH door inner structure to be different on a remote mirror car from the factory.  There is a hole behind the door panel where the control knob needs clearance.  I was surprised to find this and had to make a hole in a door to install a mirror.

My 65 has no remote mirror, but has rocker moldings and has RM on the radiator support.

On factory remote mirror doors.  On the early doors up or so until feb 65 their was no provision as Charles is talking about.  from Feb 65 and beyond the provision was standard in the door.
