Rear View Mirror?
Has anyone used a wide golf cart mirror for a rear view mirror?
If so would you have a any pictures of the installation?
I find the Cobra is very hard to see a good rear and side view.
I do have spot mirrors on the visors, and they do help but I would like to find something that shows a better view.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Hopefully spring will be here soon.
Thanks, Mike

I found a clip on mirror that works great. If I want to look original, I can take the mirror off quickly and put it in the glove box. See the pic in my album...

I use 3 mirrors. The one in the Cobra and one on each fender just in front of the door and had a pretty good field of view of anything that was behind me including the normal blind spot. Some people have use the parabolic mirrors but I never used one so I don't know how they worked. I think I like Jim's mirror in the picture above as well as any I have seen.

My solution was to extend the rear view 2" taller to see out over the soft top just below the rear plexiglass. The fender mirrors are going away in favor of ones on custom made wing window brackets,once spring rolls around.

I purchased a wide vision mirror for about $10.00 at Pep Boys. It is spring loaded and clips over the primary mirror so it is very easy to install and remove. It works so well I can imagine driving my car without it.

Cool idea... Do you remember where you got the clip-on mirror? Does it stay on pretty securely or does it fall off easily? |
