Rear view mirror placement

[MaSnaka]

My Cr came with the windshield mounted mirror. I hated it as it blocked my view over thr right hand fender and it looked very un-authentic. It also vibrated and all images were a blur at speed. One day while getting out of the car my young daughter accidentily bumped the windshield mirror and it popped right off the glass. She was petrified at what I was going to say but I told her thanks...I was wondering how I was going to get that thing off. We had a good laugh at that. I pre drilled some holes in the dash for the finishline dash mount mirror and used the course threaded screws that came with the mirror, and the mirror has held strong for a few years now. It still vibrates at speed and the veiw out the back is ok but not exceptional. Looks much better and does not block my veiw out the front. That would be my vote. One other thing worth mentioning is location...I believe to be correct the mirror base mounts just right of center. You might want to research that if it matters to you. Of course I learned that after I mounted mine in the perfect center line. I don't think anyone has noticed.

Hi John, so both locations vibrate, but the dash mounted location is the lesser of the evils, correct? So has anyone found a way or a mounting bracket that does not vibrate the mirror, or is it an impossible task given the vibration of the car?

I guess I will find out when I get my ride. .

John, My mirror does not vibrate (dash mounted) as long as I don't move the car or have the engine running.
