How do i adjust it?

....it doesn't seem to move!?

[kitesurf_phil]

It doesn't. Rip it off and give it to the budgie.

Does anyone actually find this mirror useful ?

I used to hang the dogs leads on mine.
Then I took it off and sold it to Hilux Bob.

You can adust it on a 3rd Gen, & there is a marker on it for a recommended position. Don't really use it though, but it's quiet handy sometimes as you can see the white line of a parking bay.

It's also asking for it to be ripped off by kids.

That mirror's ridiculous. I'm going to take mine off.

I haven't really worked out where it points. I know it points at the front wheel but I mean, conceptually, it won't work with my brain. Can you just rip it off or is it screwed on? If the latter, presumably it'll leave a hole when I take it off.

Prise off the rear cover to access the two bolts that fix it to the wing. You will be left with a couple of holes, but after you've polished the area where the mirror was, it's hardly noticable after a while.

Yes you can adjust it, if you remove the cover you can adjust it from inside

[kitesurf_phil]

It is meant to show you how close you are to the kerb but it doesn't work with the phat arches.

[NFC]

You mean it's not an external curry-hook?

I think I must be the only person who has ever used it, when I've had to parallel park the surf in our tiny lane which is only just two cars wide - I have to get the front spot on in position as it swings out as there is a telegraph pole wire hidden in some bushes and I use the mirror to check the arch against the cable. Still we're moving now so I can rip it off

[POPEYE]

And i must be the only one who actually likes it and would like it's opposite number

Got a couple of chrome ones of an old mk2 cortina somewhere. Replace the existing one with that and I'll chuck in the offside for free!
