Rearview Mirror placement

You're saying by pivoting the mirror? I'm talking about the riser the other guy mentioned that you can buy.

 

I didn't read everything.

 

Now that we have that out of the way, did anyone else also remove the center headrest from the back row? The first two changes I made on the truck after the test drive were to move the mirror up and take that headrest out so I could actually see behind me.

 

how do you adjust it.....i pulled and pushed and was afraid it was going to break

If the link doesn't automatically open the right page, it's 140. The mirror is on a pivot arm, just grab that sucker with both hands and push up towards the rüf

 

REALLY??

 

There has been people that have busted their windshields adjusting so don't go too crazy. You may have already adjusted it. Look from the side and compare to the diagram in this thread. It's a rather unsatisfying adjustment if you ask me, but it does help a tad.

 

Seriously? That's rhetorical, I believe you, but seriously?

I would spend the rest of my day angry drinking.

 

i am.....drinking.....but I too am afraid of breaking it.....i go look and try again

 

An additional option on vehicles without a compass in the mirror is to spin the mirror 180 degrees.
This can give an additional bit of rise to improve your line of sight under the mirror while still allowing the manual dimming feature to be operated from the top.
I’ve done this on a few new vehicles over the years.

 

Ahhh...the wonders of Toyota engineering and design.

Huh. Learn something new every day. Going to try it later this afternoon.

 

I am not making fun of anybody here, but I have been using both pivots in all my cars for the past 30yrs. I get that some cars only have a single pivot these days. Those usually have the mirror mounted vertically off the overhead console.

 

My wife has a 14 corolla...It has a dual pivot as well...my life has changed

 

yep been driving from the 70's and all but one of the car hasn't been able to be moved. it falls in the same group that people don't know there is a key to open the doors because they don't look at anything ... anymore
