Wink Mirror :) - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

i got one today and installed it.. was kind of a bitch! I did it to where I could keep the visors with somewhat usability by sending a bolt through the headliner in to an existing hole in the frame by the visor mounts. I really screwed up my passenger side visor mount though.. oh well. ill post pics tomorrow :P

Sorry for resurrecting this thread from the dead.

I was just sitting here and it just hit me (even though I submitted a reply earlier): for some reason, it has taken me 5 years to realize that the Yaris, with its very open design is an ideal candidate for a Wink mirror. I have one in my 1979 Celica (similar open greenhouse design) and love it.

I guess this is my next mini-project...

I had a 4 panel clip-on Wink in my Volvo 240's. Loved it. But, I sold it off as it did not fit the Yaris and I don't want to do away with my visors. It sure is tough going back to a standard mirror after having a Wink. You feel like you're looking through a peep hole. I do, though, use a panoramic style mirror similar to the CIPA referenced above. The more you can see out the back and sides the better IMO.
