Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone else has had or solved this problem. For me it seems that the inside rearview mirror is almost right at eye level and obstructs my view in that direction. I figure my options are to either move the power seat down toward the floor so I can see under it easier, or to move the mirror up.
I'm leaning away from option #1 because the further down you move the seat, the less you can see over the hood, over the tailgate, or when checking blind spots.
The good news on option #2 is that it looks like the mirror should be easy to move. The squarish plastic channel that covers up the wires going from the roof to the mirror looks to be a telescoping adjustable design. It appears all I would have to do is remove the mirror from the existing mounting plate which is attached to the glass, get a glass company to remove and reattach the mounting plate a little higher, then reinstall mirror and wire channel in reverse order.
Only thing I'd have to watch out for is making sure the mirror doesn't get so high that the overhead center console obstructs the view. Even if it does that partially though, it should still allow a little better view of what's behind the tailgate. Personally I'd rather see that area better and lose a little of the center top view than vice-versa.
Any thoughts, tips, concerns, or advice, especially from anyone who's done this before?
