Aaron's right, but you could put in a trim piece on the inside to cover that. Just an alternative.

I had hope. Alpha made sense with that post. Alpha+!!!

Sorry it went downhill from there.

While I like the controversial "wink" mirror (another topic where I actually have something in common with Alpha!), it does NOT substitute for side mirrors!! Especially where a driver's side mirror is required by law.

If you mount to the triangle window, picking up a piece of plexi or whatever from a plastic place makes it easy. A search here will turn up some useful history on that.

The other thing to be aware of is that on the passenger side, the bar between the wing/triangle window and the main window interferes with mirrors mounted on the triangle. So on the passenger side you'll need a mirror with adequate spacing from the door. Be sure to experiment with it to make sure visibility is what you expect.

yea i noticed that it went downhill..

thanks for a good post..

do you mean for visibility? or do you mean that its a different angle to the window? I did halfmount it and I will see behind the car on both mirrors. (the glass do adjust to an angle i you want, pretty clever design in them) although it will not be as avarage joe expects.. and its a tiny piece of glass from the beginning..

Most of it is your personal preference. But just be sure the position of your passenger side mirror (particularly if mounted to the triangle glass area) provides adequate visibility on that side. Often when a mirror is mounted on the passenger-side triangle, the bar between the triangle and the main window interferes with visibility.

I'm doing wink mirrors on my car. No sides. You have an almost full view, anyway. And then there isn't anything on the sides to deal with.

if you are going to drive on the same streets as me, please make sure you use your side mirrors. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
