Interior Rear-View Mirror relocating?

[LittleBeast]

Welcome to the VX family! Yeah I am 6'4" and it took a while to find a comfortable position. I just tilt the seat back so I can see out of the small side window for lane changes and still put my arm out the window with the window down.

I had an extra rear view mirror mount put in well above the stock one and it helps rear visibility a lot! But it is so high now that it is totally in the way of the sun visors, but being over 6'4" I have never really used the sun visors so oh well. But they suggested NOT removing the old mount for the rear view mirror because they have to heat the glass and they said 4 out of 10 times it cracks the glass. Your call, I love having the higher mounted rear view mirror for visibility out the rear and ahead and to the right like you stated. It is totally out of my forward and right visibility now. Hope that helps.

Where would one get an extra mount?

Well, you could have mine if I could remove it. I found the rearview mirror to be so completely useless that I just removed it and installed map lights in the headliner. But that said, think the mounts are universal and any parts store would have them

Thanks for the reply. I will take a look at Auto Zone.

I use mine to make sure there are no aircraft speed detectors flying behind me. It gives great view of the horizon.

Here is Washington, their is so much low cloud cover that they stay on the ground

One of the best mods I have done is raise the mirror. I just wish I could get that old piece of tape off the glass without cracking it left from the original mount. I have been thinking of raising it again and sticking behind the headboard between the sun visors so it is completely off the windsheild.
