Is there any way to get another look at the old FAQ procedure for repositioning the driver side mirror?

Is it just me or doesn't the search function work any more?

my $2 concave mirror - that was working out really well for the 15 mins i had them - fell off on the freeway in the morning (thanks to stinkin rain on the 1st day of summer). my $2.50 360 degree one better not fall off within 15 mins again tomorrow!

they work really well though! does anybody know the difference between the rectangular ones & the round concave?

if i try to take these mirrors off in the future, will it leave a whole lot of permanent crud on the mirrors?

Just use Goo Gone and it will remove the adhesive, then clean with a window cleaner.

Foof, concave mirror should be standard on all sideview mirrors of all vehicles; that's how strongly I feel about their utility as a safety feature.

Traynespotting: adhesive can be removed from the S2000 sideview mirrors with a flat razor blade without damagiing the mirror.

Boiler, I've never seen a mirror that was silvered on the face as opposed to the back of the glass. Can you give an example of an automoblie that has such a mirror?

I won't push it, but I believe it makes no sense to apply the reflective coating of a glass mirror to its face. Such a mirror would not withstand normal wear & tear or cleaning. I think you're mistaken.

spoon makes a set of convexed mirror overlays. theyre curved at the extreme ends of the mirror so that you can see whats in your blind spot.. i think they go for about $90USD.

ive never personally tried these, but if theyre anything like my old euro mirrors on my audi, then i would highly recommend these.
