Anybody using a 3, 4 or 5 panel rear mirror?  I drove a 2800cs with a wink mirror in the early 80's for a while and Ioved it..

There seems to be some better built metal models out there now too.

I have Raydyot mirrors on my car, and for the passenger side, I ordered a convex glass.  It's a great improvement on visibility for the passenger side.

I don't know if you can get convex glass in the traditional Speedster mirrors.

My passenger side mirror is the standard/stock type and it IS convex.  Think I got it from Auto Atlanta.  I could look it up if someone needed to know.

Bob,

Where did you get the convex glass for the passenger side Raydyot mirror?

Cliff:  I had to order a full mirror, from Moss Motors.  I then just switched the glass into my current mirror, so now I have an extra mirror!

I couldn't find just the convex glass anywhere.  For me, it was worth it to have the expanded view the convex glass gives you, especially in a car that doesn't have the best visibility to begin with, especially with the top up.

Bob,

Thanks for a great idea. 

The glass mirror in my two rear view mirrors was exactly 3 1/2 inches wide but the one on the passengers side was useless.  following your example, I went to Advance Auto Parts and found a very inexpensive 3 3/4 inch wide round convex review mirror made by "Fit System - Replacement Mirrors," code: CO37 36-2503-8.  The glass used in it was also exactly 3 1/2 inches wide so after buying it I removed the glass from my passengers side review mirror and replaced it with the convex mirror taken from the Fit System example.

Wow!  What a life saver. . .  and I may later decide to also replace the mirror on the drivers side.
