Accessory review: Side mirrors

[Kenpcfl]

Another good accessory. I did not think they were needed, but after installing them, I'm glad I did. Only $82 and easy to install in about 15 minutes. They provide an excellent convex view behind you, and are easily adjusted without tools.

Nicely done! I'm a fan of having side mirrors.

Looks great and not a bad price at all!

Appreciate you sharing, that’s definitely a great idea!

I got my NAV today, love it but I tried to install and position the mirrors higher than you and they don’t seems to tilt vertically as much as I think they should to position the angle right for rearward visibility. I did loosen the nut on the bottom to be able to move them around a bit.

I want to try your mid location

Did you have to remove your windshield to get the clamps behind it? I’ll try again tomorrow, everything seems super high quality, so nice!

Ugh, disregard my post, I see how you did them to get the top to tilt back enough for a good rear view. Guess the question remains if you had to remove the windshield to fit the brackets that way? Thank you Kenpcfl!!

The mirrors were a bit of a struggle to get on until, like you, I figured it out. My issue was getting the clamp opening squeezed closed enough to get the bolts in. Did not need to remove the windshield, although that is easy to do.
Tip: if you ever do remove the windshield, pay particular attention to how the grommets and washers were originally installed. They will fall and scatter as your removing it.

You were correct (obviously) that windshield removal isn’t required. I just pulled back on it gently and was able to slide the narrower side of the bracket in there. They are perfect, no complaint on the mirrors!!
