tornichoe Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Does anyone know if the range of movement of the side mirror can be adjusted? The way I sit in the car, even when I have the driver's side mirror adjusted to be all the way pointed outward (all the way left using the control), I have a small blind spot; especially in heavy traffic where people like to sit in your blind spot. The BSM does help, but I like to have the passing car's front bumper next to me as soon as it disappears from the side mirror. Thought I'd just move the whole housing out a bit and stick something in between, but it raises up a little and creates a gap when you push it front. Obviously the easiest fix is to sit forward; but I was wondering if the gears/ wheel behind the mirror can be adjusted. Appreciate the help.

I must have tried adjusting it 3 or 4 times before I gave up. If that's as designed, it's a bad design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rec630 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I share your pain. I must have tried adjusting it 3 or 4 times before I gave up. If that's as designed, it's a bad design. Same here. Old car was adjusted so no true blind spots and I cant quite get the new Legacy to match that as OP wrote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to know its not just me These things have a ton of electronics built into them. Being upwards of $400, am a bit skeptical to just start pushing and pulling on things. I love the auto-dimming and heated features. It would suck to loose one of them because I yanked on something the wrong way. Going to have to play around with it once it gets warmer out and may be see if I can get a used or broken one for cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornichoe Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Why not spring for a $1.99 stick on convex mini mirror? I hate those things as much as I hate... well, the worst thing you can imagine. Thanks for the suggestion though. Just not what I was looking for. I've actually not considered cars that came with such cut out convex pieces from the factory when I was in the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
