Rear view mirror extension?
Hi folks! Just a quick thought: How difficult would it be to CNC an extension for the rear view mirror to bring it towards the driver by about 6"???

What about just gluing an angled plastic stick to it so she can use it to adjust. Paint it black and it might not look too bad.

That actually sounds like a great idea. Cheap, quick, wouldn't look too bad and could removed easily enough. You could even screw it to the back of the mirror housing if the plastic doesn't hold.

Now that's not a bad idea at all! Thanks for that one
Of course, "plan C" is to rip it right off the next time she whines about it
Thanks again,

Re: Rear view mirror extension?
I'm gonna play devil's advocate... Wouldn't the longer extension cause more strain on the backing causing it pop off easily?
