    It doesn't. Rip it off and give it to the budgie.
    It's only a hobby!

        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
                If it aint broke dont fix it

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

                    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

                              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!
