Q:
The view out the mirror is perfect. It is slightly above my level of view - by that I mean that while looking straight ahead, I look under the mirror, and slightly "up" to see the mirror. The OEM mirror was right in my ling of sight - I would have to lower my head and look under the mirror to see what was forward and to the right (not a good thing in traffic or while driving on deer invested twisty mountain roads). Any wider, and I’d be seeing the headrests. I can still see a bit of the top and bottom of the rear window surround. The mirror is as small as it can be and I still see the maximum out the rear window. I haven’t completely snapped it into place, so that I can remove it to finish it off, but it is still rock steady with no vibrations at all. Total cost around $20 (so far; I still have to fill the openings and paint it if I ever get around to that).

Nice mod, and 21 detailed posts in 28 minutes. I don't know which is more impressive.

Award for slowness maybe. I've planned on making the mirror for a year. Finally "completed" it. It'll probably be another year (if ever) before I get around to filling in the "holes" on the backside (front) of the mirror. But I like it. My wife wants me to start making them for other people and get rich. I laughter at her...
Oh yea. The reason I was able to enter it so fast, was that I had it all typed up in another text file. I was just cutting and pasting...

Hey, if the check's big enough, I'll sell you mine and make another one...
Like I used to tell my students, I accept bribes, but don't insult me.
And I expect my Ferrari to be red. Unfortunately, nobody ever wanted an "A" bad enough...

I had a teacher in high school that would give you and A if you bought him a coffee every quarter. No kidding.
Now, me on the other hand. I can't be bought, but I can be rented.

Try bending an old screwdriver 90 degrees about an inch from the tip. That will prevent you from prying against the windsheild frame. I used my Craftsman 90 degree screwdriver, but I know these aren't common. MY mirror just slipped right off (and fell on the dash - so use a blanket to catch it since you need a third hand to keep it from falling.
