Post Rear Veiw Mirror
Anybody else think the Smart For Two (hard top) has a rear view mirror that seems to get in the line of sight when cornering.

It makes me feel it could be placed high up or perhaps a smaller one - if this is a common problem is there a alternative smart owners turn to?

Thanks

It is possible to fit a shorter stalk to the existing mirror. Not sure where you would actually get one from, but I am sure if you look through Evilution you will find a "how to" which will probably give you enough detail to do the job.

Thanks tolsen
that's perfect to see the images of what to look for and link cheers for that, I will make a order from them - i wonder how tricky it is for instillation fingers crossed i don't end up with a huge hole in the roof and lots of Glue everywhere.

:) I will try to remember to post a update on the forum to let you all know if purchases to installation is easy enough as a easy fix.

thanks again tolsen

Glad you explained that. I thought something had gone wrong with my 99p Lidl glasses.
