lowered now mirror problem

[reborn55]

Installed 2 inch lowering springs--love the look and ride, but now I have a hard time seeing out of rear view mirror--can't see as far now as I could before I lowered the rear end---is there no way to adjust the mirror for better visibility..

Um...oh well? #guessyoushouldathoughtaboutthat

I did--not realizing that new fangled mirrors don't have up and down adjustment like the older models do--pay all that money and the mirror is stationary---geez--you would think they would take into consideration that some tall peope even have problems with the mirror at stock height

Not even sure what this means... A non-adjustable mirror? Is the new interior mirror truly stationary?

He has a 4th gen, but my mirror on my 4th gen adjusts up and down even with it being auto dimming

what I mean is the mounting stem does not move up or down--the mirror head does its usual movememt--some of the older vehicles had mirror heads and stem that would move up or down creating better visibility

with the auto dimming mirrors that lever is not required....

Ah... you mean the mirror could pivot on the stem and the stem could also pivot on the windshield mount. I haven't seen that ever since electronics started being incorporated into the mirrors. They probably weigh too much anymore for a double pivot setup in addition to needing the (much) bigger shroud over the windshield mount to aesthetically hide all the wires.

EDIT: Lower your seat?
