2015 Mustang off-side rear view mirrors
« on: April 21, 2016, 02:50:02 pm »
Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue - when my wife (who is about 5'5) adjusts the drivers seat, she is no longer able to get the off-side rear view mirror to angle in enough to allow her to see properly. Being a little bit taller, when I am in the drivers seat, I can JUST get the mirror to the correct angle. But only just.

My hunch is that the production run used mirrors angled for a LH driver, and hence the inability to get the angle right from the RH drive position.

I spoke to the ford sales guy who told me to mention it when the car goes in for its 3000k service.

Anyone else having this issue?

I'm the leprechauns little bro @ 5' 3" & yes when I first set my driving position I wasn't happy, both sides. Since I got used to those bi-focal mirrors it's all good, just a little more concentration needed. The mirrors themselves are different (bigger) than the USA but maybe the offsets haven't been adjusted to suit RHD as is the case on my '66, mounted differently on each side but never intended as a RHD.
My biggest problem now is distorted puddle lamp image RH mirror & condensation build up in tail lights. Done just over 2k, already had my "peace of mind"  :grin: inspection but these faults occurred a week later. After all, it is a mass produce vehicle, more so than our local fords & holdens, so I expect a little less quality.
