I find the clear top handy as well for seeing stop lights. Being able to look through the roof to see the state of the stop light - handy, and simultaneously amusing to me
I think I need to figure out how to get those visors off - I think I can still count with 1 hand in 2 years, the number of times the visor was just what I needed to handle the sun. The rest of the time, it's just a minor occlusion to a small world view, looking out from the cockpit of the car. That's another thing the glass top helps with - even if it's just a perception of "bigness", you see more of the world around you.
@wiztecy, with your micro mirror are you saying that at night the glare is such that you have to reposition the mirror and tilt it down so that it is not usable? There is no day/night version?
I wonder if an anti-glare film on that mirror would be enough to make it usable at night?
Where did you buy the mirror from? I think you posted about it in another thread but I've forgotten who the manufacturer is. Thanks.
The mirror doesn't have the tab to flick it up or down like the stock one has, so I tilt it down. Only thing I'm worried about the blue film is that its another layer put on the mirror, so filtering the image so to speak. Would be nice if that was an option for the mirror. I do think that would take the glare the headlights cause out of the picture. I picked the micro-mirror up from Sector 111:
microMIRRORâ„¢ Rear View Mirror for the Lotus Elise and Exige - Sector111
Doug, did you notice any distortion from the mirror after applying the film? Any tips/tricks? Would a Blue film be preferable over the grey/black?
Not too impressed with the Elise RADAR installation... Here's mine:This is a random pic off the net with it on the Elise:
Here I always stop so I cab see the light. Consequently I stop a car length or more back. Learning to drive Mom asked me why I stop so far back? "So I can see the light" She never realized that as she was shorter than me. I am just over 6'
:scared:Only issue is you have to manually pull the mirror down for night driving. I may look into having the anti-glare/blue film put over the mirror.
I'm in the process of installing an auto dimming mirror from a Cooper mini. It's about the same size as the micro for less than half the price, and it's auto dimming. Picked up a used one off eBay.
BTW, this thread is all over the place: fresnel lenses, rear view mirrors and radar detectors. You can search for my set-up using my user name.
I am interested to learn how you are mounting a Mini Coper rear view mirror in your Roadster. I searched for your username but only found about 8 threads, none about mirrors. Please give the thread subject line or a link to it. Thanks.
