Took my first test drive today and loved it... EXCEPT that the rear view mirror was directly in my line of vision out the front. I'm a reasonably tall guy (6' 2") and I found I had to actually lean down to peer under the mirror. The mirror is a stem-mount right into the headliner and NOT a glass mount -- and the service manual shows that it should be able to be removed... but I don't know if the windshield will take an after-market glass mount mirror. Anyone else have this problem or knows of a good solution?

 

maybe reclining the chair back?

 

I have the same problem in several cars, so I Imagine the Fit will be the same.

 

get a one of those broadway mirrors. ahahha.

 

Yes, I think the convex mirror will do.

 

yea. ive had the same broadway convex mirror since my DA. its been through 3 cars now.

 

LOL, i've had mine for over 14 years!!

I bought it when I got my first Integra waaaay back in 92 and the Fit is the 6th car it'll be in!!

 

As a follow up.... Mounting any mirror (factory or otherwise) to the existing mirror mount will still block my view out the front. It looks like there is some kind of "black dot" decal/etching in that area of the windshield. Will a glass-mount mirror stick in that area? If so, I can remove the existing mirror & mount and put in a glass-mount one a bit higher up. Has anyone else done something similar?

 

You tell him Ben LOL
