It's funny you mentioned an "explorer". When I first had my explorer, I had similiar issues with the mirror because it was positioned right at eye level. I also didn't see a couple of cars to the right, while at a four-way stop. Fortunately, I was able to move the 2 or 3 inch stem upward, out of eye level and that corrected the problem. I know some cars have little or no stem on the mirror, which would have been a problem. I haven't seen a camaro yet, so I don't know if it has a stem on the mirror to adjust!

If you don't like that mirror then you won't like a vette...

i drive an '05 mustang (motivated seller/purchase of convenience lol)
i do sometimes have to duck my head to look under the mirror at certain times but not very often and it hasn't been a major inconvenience

That is all that is holding it, a ball joint. It can be adjusted all the way up to where it almost touches the front of the headliner (that's what I did in my my old Sunfire). If that is done, and angled so you can use it, it'll be no problem at all.

I look forward to having the problem, real or perceived.

I have it from a pretty reliable source that the mirror was made larger so that the owner will have a bigger view of the ear to ear smile he/she has on their face when driving.

The auto dimming mirror must be bigger than the regular mirror.

The auto dimming has a sensor on the face of it.

I wonder if you could just rotate the mirror upside down? Although that would screw up the dimming function. Moving it up as high as possible is probably the best thing to do short of replacing it. |
