I think I have a solution:
In the forum's User CP, under "Settings and Options", select "Edit Ignore List". Type "GrantedTaken" into the little box and boom - no more issues! Best forum ever. |

Auto-dimming mirrors usually have two photo sensors, one looking forward and one to the rear. The forward sensor determines the daytime\nighttime operation of the mirror by monitoring long-term ambient brightness. The darker it is outside the darker it makes the mirror.
The rear sensor is to detect headlights from behind. If the front sensor says it's nighttime (dark outside) and the rear sensor detects headlights from behind the idea is to further darken the mirror and reduce glare. Personally I've never had an auto-dimmer that went dark enough or even close to a manual dimmer. You can try covering the front sensor with tape of varying opacity to trick that sensor into thinking it is darker outside and dimming more. Black electrical tape would provide the most extreme dimming. Unfortunately, even the most extreme auto-dimming doesn't seem to be as good as a manual dim. If the rear window has a dark factory tint (or more) then auto-dim might be sufficient. As for the button on the mirror, it turns auto-dim on or off but it's a gradual process and not readily apparent. Last edited by LimitedSlip; 09-24-2019 at 11:31 AM. |

If he is trolling as a joke it isn't working (too subtle maybe?) and if he is serious then he can just go and intercourse himself from here on out.

I’m not sure what’s worse, if this person is trolling, or that frustrated with his car. Or her car, or it’s car, I don’t want to discriminate.

I get what OP refers to.
When I have a pick up truck or large SUV with some of the bright headlight systems behind me, the rear view mirror shoots the rays right into the old retinas. I adjusted the mirror to the right so that I can see a bit more than half of the rear window. Reflections way diminished. And a bonus, the blind spot is not as bad. One still needs to be sure the outside mirrors are spread out enough. But this helps. There. Thread over. |
