reversing mirror

Post by pimpdriver »

Hello,

Can you get a mirror that you bolt on above the rear window (on the outside) like on those japanese imports, so you can see the bumper?

The mirrors I mean are convex and point towards the bumper so you can see exactly what is behind you. I parallel park in my street and can't judge the length of my van yet.

Cheers,

Steve

I have seen someone use a standard t25 mirror riveted on, looks a bit daft but does the job, have you thought of a reversing sensor? or a camera system?

I've got one of the stick-on-the-inside fresnel lenses and it's pretty good for parking - also cheap (tenner or so from eg Halfrods) and you won't have to drill any holes.

Daft?

Mine isnt so much for parking, although it works for that, it's for backing onto trailers and watching the towball

sorry for the poor quality pix, just popped outside to take them,
and the dew on the windows isnt helping, i wanted to take one
through the rearview mirror to show what it see's but that will
have to wait untill the windows clear....
