Adjusting the Rearview Mirror - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Anyone else having issues not being able to see the entire rearview window through the rearview mirror? I can only see the bottom half of the rear windows and have to crouch down to see the top half.

Kind of annoying. I had this problem with the OEM mirrors too and just had the auto dimming ones installed today and its the same exact thing.

I have my seat all the way down and the rear view mirror is set as high as it can go and I still cant see through all of it without crouching down.

I am able to adjust the mirror up higher only if I dont angle the mirror towards me, and when I do angle it towards me, it has to lower down in order for me to rotate it sideways thus blocking the top half of the rear windows.

Not sure if you can adjust it any other way, anyone got suggestions?

I believe there are 2 articulating arms, so maybe push the long arm down, then pivot the mirror up on the short arm?

I experienced this too...try almost rotating it in the circle. The good nes is since it's tough to position it's not going to get bumped once it's set. Especially good since the sun visors are gigantic (did they get those last minute out of a legacy or something) and touch the mirror.
