How to move rearview mirror more left?
 

Minor annoyance, but since I got my windshield replaced a while back, I feel like I can't adjust my rearview mirror the way I want. I want it to move more to the left, i.e., facing more towards me.

I feel like this wasn't a problem before, so maybe the windshield people did something to the mirror, but, what could they have done?

The mirror has two pivot points connected by a short straight piece. Once pivot point is on the mirror itself and the other is on the mount on the windscreen. Perhaps when they reinstalled the mirror they moved the straight piece around?

When adjusting the mirror in the usual way (grabbing the mirror itself) you typically only move the pivot on the mirror. Try manhandling it more forcibly to also move the pivot on the mount.

Oh okay, I see, there's the flat piece that's glued to the windshield. That's connected to another flat piece which is a similar size and shape, and THAT piece can be rotated relative to the piece that's glued.

Rotating doesn't seem to require too much manhandling, as long as you've got a firm grip on it and are only trying to move it along its axis of rotation.

With the flat pieces aligned (which is what the windshield shop must have done), I can't move the mirror very far to the left at all. But with the rotating piece rotated about 10 degrees counterclockwise, it's great.

Thanks for the quick reply!
