    Can I raise this mirror higher. I can't see fully infront of me. I have to duck to see things to my right sometimes. I know the mirror is adjustable, my question is can I raise it?

    The mirror has 2 pivot points. I have both of mine up all the way and the mirror definitely sits higher than yours. I cannot see the base of the mirror which sits on the windshield in my driving position with it all the way up like I can in your photo. It isn't easy to break loose the pivot points if you haven't touched them in a while. Some brute force should do the trick.

    The stock mirror pivots in 2 places. One near the mount and the other to the mirror. I've adjusted so that the top of the mirror lined up with the dot matrix.

    I've raised mine up as far as it'll go.

    For sure better than when I first got it... but I could have it a bit higher.

    Should look something like this when up as high as possible.

    Go ahead, make a joke about my circle and arrow placement. I dare you.

    My what a nice set lol I figured it out before. I don't know why I had a blonde moment. I'm surprised I can wipe my own ass.
