Sometimes it's good to forget about present troubles and look forward to driving this thing some day. With that in mind, what opinions are there on pros and cons of putting the outside rear view mirr

Fender mirroes look nice but it's a 2 person job to adjust them. "Up a little, back down, out just a tad" And then somebody walks past the car and knocks them out of adjustment so you have to get you

Each location and type of mirror has its Pro's and Con's. The wing type mirrors will get knocked out of adjustment regardless of where they are located. You can adjust them easier on the doors but t

Dan the man.... ....door mounted if you are serious about situational awareness in terms of what's going on around/behind you, and even more so when the top is up and "outside audio" is compromised t

One other option not yet discussed is to get short stem motorcycle mirrors and mount them in the front windshield side frame mounting hole. These come in flat or convex lens, round or rectangle shap

Wonder if there is a system available like in most modern cars where you can adjust the passenger side mirror with a knob/lever on the driver's side? That would solve the fender mirror adjustment pro

Dan, My TR4 has mirrors mounted on the doors and my Sprite has mirrors mounted on the fenders. Personally, I prefer the look of the fender mounted mirrors. However, as others have mentioned, the doo
