western Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 might need a different mount from the standard tem, as it may not be up to holding a bigger/heavier mirror head & it's meant to detach in a accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Is the early 90 late 90 different ? and is the arm / mounting to TC Roof / same or different ? Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Same through the range right upto current vehicles 2 versions dipping & non-dipping base plate & screws are common too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinspragg Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 My rear view mirror moves down when driving a speed on rough roads. Every few minutes you have to readjust it because the view has become of the the bed of the truck. On paved roads it's steady and no problem. Any ideas of a way to make it more rigid (apart from getting a new one)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Don't forget that a bigger mirror will get in the way looking forwards Nige - not being funny - in the RR I had to duck and weave like a boxer to see around the luverly self dimming monster!

FridgeFreezer Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 You could always fit a reversing camera, that way it can be put somewhere that gives the best view, or even moved if needed - for example, to watch the rear winch (or you could buy a 2nd camera and choose views). I think Maplins (or eBlag) had some that were a rear view mirror with a screen built in behind the mirroring, best of both and quite bling.

NicTheOrange90 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I was thinking of getting one from a van to fit directly onto the glass, at present I have an extender mirror that fits over the standard one with velcro, sadly you cannot get the sun visors down (not a problem for me as I never use them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
