Passenger side mirror placement with soft doors

[Stevepsc]

I cannot see or use my passenger side mirror when I have the soft doors on my 1986 m1038. Is there a better placement for the mirror that will make it useful. I have a Rhino spare tire carrier on, so I am changing lanes and backing blind.

Typically you move the mirror forward until you can see it through the passenger windshield.

I thought the same when I picked up mine and reversed the mirror and bracket at GP site then drove it home but it was not very useful. Drove a few months that way. Another member here told me the same below so I put it back. You look through the windshield which is crazy to mentally contemplate but that is the way to do it. I tend to use the bottom wide view more than the top.

The arm actually has a feel to let you know when it is in the right slot than adjust the mirror tilt and angle.

Another member also suggested using a suction cup marine rear view mirror and I also like that idea alot and found it helps big time. Look on epay for marine CIPA suction cup mirror.

There are directions and measurements in the TM for adjusting the west coast mirrors.
