Title: This is what I am dealing with
Post by: jw9800 on October 26, 2013, 12:17:35 PM: This is what I am dealing with, this mirror still doesn't go far enough to see inside the car. These are electric power ones. I have no idea who's. Any ideas?

( you can see through out ,not in) fits well in Marcellos C/F mirrors shell. maybe the mirror motor is to big in your car???

It can be polished with fine sandpaper and it shouldn't look out of place.

Post by: 01Lambiero on October 27, 2013, 12:01:34 PM: I can see scratches where the glass is hitting the inside of the mirror housing. Maybe the glass was installed improperly off center and the adjuster can't move because the glass is hitting. ??

Post by: jw9800 on October 28, 2013, 01:07:52 PM: It's definetly hitting the glass but that is another issue. With the glass moved all the way like in the picture, it still is no where near being lined up. I'm going to try the small round blind spot mirrors. Seems to be the easiest answer.

Post by: Tusabes on October 28, 2013, 04:58:29 PM: It might work but there's no telling what the angle will be

I'd suggest skmettuinkike this as it had a pivoting base

Post by: notnilc20 on October 28, 2013, 05:28:36 PM: Have you seen the ones on newer cars that come factory? They are more flush with the glass and it looks a lot better.
