 Subject: HELP! HUGE SIDE MIRROR problems!!!
IP: Logged
Message:
Ok, I almost hit someone today because the stupid HUGE side mirrors I have on my 99 Dak 4X4. I think they called them sport mirrors. Quite frankly, I don't know why they're called "sport".
Anyone else have this problem of trying to see around and over the side mirrors. I looked on ebay and found some side mirrors that are the smaller ones. Should I put those on. If so, HOW???

Sure it was because of the mirrors, and not the fairly substantial "A" pillar ? The pillar is fairly wide; and you can lose sight of a vehicle behind it if you're not aware you have to be careful about this. Seems like you'd have to be pretty short for it to be the mirror causing the problem. Maybe a booster seat if it really is the mirror in your way ?

Ha Ha Ha, I don't need a booster seat. Although with these mirrors I feel like I do. I'm 5'10", that's not that short.
the A pillar does get in the way though sometimes, but for me it's mostly the mirrors.
Has anyone ever installed the aftermarket mirrors?

Demon, was it easy to put them on. Do you just take the inside door panel off and loosen some screws and the wire connector?
Where did you you get yours and how much were they?
I like the big mirrors because I can see a whole lot more in them, but I just can't quite yet figure out how to see THROUGH them to see people or cars...hmmmmmm.

Since we're both the same height, I'm confused as to how the mirrors could be blocking your view ? I've used extra towing mirrors which makes them twice as wide with no problems, the mirrors are well below my eyeline. Sure you didn't loose the vehicle behind the fat A pillar ?
Hey michael w, my head hurts !

I'm with Kowalski on this one. I can't see how, at 5'10", the mirrors could be blocking your view. They should be below your line of sight.
Your not one of those people who looks like you're driving while reclining in a Barcalounger, are you? I see it all the time when I drive into downtown Hartford, idiots driving with the seat reclined back as far as it will go.

yeah, I noticed that too. Makes it kinda convenient to shop or look up whatever you're writing about.
Ya know, i like my big mirrors too, i like being able to see behind me very well. But personally I'd rather be able to see what's in front of me.
