OK. Normally when you adjust your rear view mirror you use your right hand and grab the right side of the mirror (unless you're in Japan, England or Austrailia). I just noticed that I can't grab the mirror on the top of the right side of it cause my fingers won't fit between the top of the mirror and the dome light. I have to grab the mirror on the right side itself.

It's not that I care exactly wear I have to grab it, it's just that it seems that it's mounted a little higher than before. As you know, in the S2000, it's already hard to see out the back window all the way down the road (to watch for cops you know), so having it mounted higher makes it worse. I've gotta scrunch down more.

Problem is I can't really remember what it was like before!
The metal piece is already glued on there from whoever made the glass. I had 3 windshields put on and all the after market windshields are like that.

Ok, so it is in a different spot. Hmm, can it be moved?

It's very difficult to move the metal piece that the mirror mounts to. It's also very easy to crack your windshield trying to remove it yourself.

Maybe your fingers got fatter?


Just kidding, mine is fine and I don't have that problem, OEM glass and mirror as well.

I had my windshield replaced and noticed the same problem. Kind of annoying, but the guy that put it in said he can't move it.
