Yep the exterior mirrors are the same.

RoadDad specified what interior mirror mount the Teslas have.

I'm leaning towards the EuroSpec version and a Mircomirror.

Same problem here, VFX...

The blind spot on the passenger side is eating at me and is a priority fix. I was leaning to the MultiVex. For rearview the ZoomCF seemed like it would fit the bill for me.

Another problem for me is that I need ease of installation as I am a mechanical moron handed down from my Dad. Either ease of installation or fellow friends who will show me how to do it one Sunday at SCS

I'm not so bad on the passeger mirror. If I turm by head I can be pretty much assured that a car (not bike) will be bigger than the Roadster bodywork that obscures it.

The Eurospec drivers mirror seems best but I want to see one in person first. toutizes has yet to post an image.

For the inside, I got a Micromirror but with no instructions. I think I can figure it out with SByer's pics though. (Thanks Steve)

Carefully slide the stock mirror towards the back along the windshield - it's just friction fit (no clip, latch or catch). From there, the microMirror and it's set screws are pretty obvious, as long as you have a set of smaller hex wrenches around.

I'm really happy with the microMirror, as I no longer feel like a whole herd of pedestrians can be hiding behind a right turn, and I don't think I'm missing any significant rearward view.

Thanks again. The issue is something that not everyone notices. The Roadster's windshield (windscreen) glass has an interior black paint surround with a screenprint type dot pattern to visually soften the edges. It's also in the Elise and is pretty common in all cars these days.

It's the Roadster windshields with the extra $400 up-charge tinting that have an additional big black painted area behind the rear view mirror. Without the black area you can look though the glass to see the mount clip arrangement. With the blacked out area in the way, some instructions are appreciated.

My only concern is scratching that black paint on the glass.

Scott's pictures were helpful to understand what was under the black paint but other than that the black paint made no difference in a mirror install.


**************
Remove the roof and your shoes. Stand in socking feet on the seats facing front. Lightly lean so your chest is on the top of the window with your head out over the glass. Reach both hands underneath
and lightly grab the mirror, applying even pressure, slide it up towards your chest. The mirror will slide (pop) right off.

Pre screw the hex setscrews so the point just barely stick out the out the other side. Test to make sure the post still slides in the mount bracket.

As listed in instructions, apply Loctite and screw-tighten mirror with 1/4 inch wrench.

Slide post onto mount and tighten screws the few turns remaining.

Adjust mirror to taste.

Enjoy more forward view when driving. (shoes optional)

I am planning to buy new mirrors for my car and it seems that the convex ones look nice. Thanks also for the tips provided here.
