Rear View Mirror Help?


Ok guys, i am 6'2 and i have a huge problem with my rear view mirror. It is just simply to low. When i am at a 4-way stop, it will COMPLETELY block out a car to the stop at my right. This is dangerous as hell if i am not really paying complete attention enough to look around it. Because at a glance i can't see any car at all, and since i am not really used to having to bend down to see under it, i don't even realize it could be blocking a vehicle. Is there a mod to move my rear view mirror up? The thing that keeps it on now seems like it would be a bitch to move.

they should be adjustable to move to all angles

if it still doesnt work, take the mirror off including the metal plate that sticks to your windshield and move it up and glue it back down

i pushed my mirror all the way up (i didn't even realize it was adjustable) and then angled it down, i'll try it like this, hopefully it will be more out of the way.
