just a quick question, do the mirrors from different years/trims fold to different angles?
ie. do some fold so that they are completely parallel with the car while others fold so that point out a couple degrees? if so, anyone know which years/trims fold how? This post has been edited by elvasoshexai: Sep 21, 2008 - 4:50 PM -------------------- |

the mirrors are the same except for the concave (or convex?) mirror on the right hand side that says "object in mirror are closer than they appear". the jdms don't have that. so changing the mirror doesn't help much.
if the angle of the mirrors is the problem, simply take the mirror off then the 3 screws that hold the mirror angle adjuster thingy and but a couple of small 5mm rubber washers behind the screws to give the correct angle. that's what i did and it's been fine for me.
