I was just in the garage, admiring the car (as usual) when looking from the front, I see that the passenger side-view mirror is angled in to the body slightly more than the driver side-view mirror is. I could tell by looking at the inner plane of the mirror and by how much it creates an angle with the weather stripping plane on top of the doors. The driver side has almost no angle (both almost parallel to each other) but on the pass side, the inner plane of the mirror points more inward toward the car. I was pretty sure that the mirrors don't have the ability to rotate (even though a newb may think so since the mirrors seem like a 2 piece assembly - 1 that directly attaches to the door and the other which holds the mirror on top of that) but I checked again and confirmed the mirrors can't have the ability to fold in like some cars. So maybe I'm thinking, the mirrors weren't aligned from the factory the same way on both sides. Maybe it is within "factory specs" but just wanted to point out that it is barely noticeable with a naked eye. Anyone else have this problem?

 

I think this is normal. I noticed the same thing a few days after I bought mine. I believe the mirrors do rotate but I've only rotated them towards the front of the car.

 

It's supposed to be like that I think.

 

The mirrors do rotate. Just takes a bit of constant pressure.

 

This is normal.

 

Its just for the angle you are viewing in the driver's seat.

There is no need to angle the drivers side since we look straight (almost) into it and back.
The passengers side however is different because we have to look across the cabin and then back, hence a greater angle.

If Honda aligned them the same, we would have to max out the adjustment just to create the proper angle.

Isn't funny how we can stare at our cars like that?!? I do that too.

 

I just walked out to the garage and checked my '00: the mirrors *DO* have the ability to fold back. I think it's federally mandated, in case you clip a pedestrian with the mirror. However, if it's been rotated back, when you look where the mirror attaches to the door, you'll see some black surface exposed in the part mounted to the door, and the difference won't require you to look very hard from in front of the car to see it.

Maybe they changed it for your model year...
