Anyone know of a good after market rear view mirror.
My cabin mirror with the roof open all i can see is the sky.
Seems a very poor design.

That sounds odd as mine gives decent rear visibility, can you not adjust it to give a useful view?

No, no matter how i set it, tried dip up/down, i would say 80% is the sky reflected when the roof is down.
Pretty much useless.

Very odd are you sure you have moved it far enough..the dip section is quite away from the normal section..I had this but discovered that the mirror had been badly knocked out of place?

I have this as well and it really pi$$es me off. Tried the dip knob etc but not really much improvement.
Upgrading to auto dim is possible, and AnubisZed is going to try it. Some wiring and coding to do though.
Don't know if the auto-dim one would be any better, but beneficial at night so worth a go.

Same as me - I was out in the car yesterday after reading this post and checked to see if I was getting the same thing, and I definitely wasn't. Maybe see if you can retrofit the auto dip mirror?
