Rearview Mirror Too Big?

[The LPT]

here's something i found on here before the hack.. the arm that the mirror is attached is movable.. just move the arm up.(it's really stiff to move though) I felt the same way, the mirror is way too low and gets in the way.

Hey there, The LPT.... THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY!!!! While most everyone else thought I was nuts for thinking that the mirror was in a horrible place, your heads up help stating that the arm itself is moveable saved the day. I had tried to move this arm some time ago when I first bought the car but it didn't budge so I thought that it was not moveable and I didn't want to break it off. I just went out to the car a few minutes ago and put some force into the arm and it kind of broke loose (in a good way). I guess it was frozen in that downward position. Somewhere along the line before I got the Yaris someone must have cranked the entire setup downward and there it sat for as long as I have had it. For you non-believers, just pull the mirror arm all the way down and you will see what I had been seeing.... dah!
-Thanks LPT.... much appreciated.

I posted this back on post #11 stating that the mirror is 2-way adjustable and most people dont even know it....

I didn't see your post.... I think the mirror was in the way.

Thanks to all for comments and hope this post helps some other lost soul. Now the only real thing I can complain about is the black paint finish where whenever I just look at it..... It makes a scratch. Never saw paint this thin in all my years. Never expected such from Toyota. Shame...Shame.
