You could always adapt an auto-mirror system from another car on. A lot of fabrication work though. Or a power mirror system from a suzuki swift GTi.

Um well I am sure Bolle could make you a custom set of anti-glare mirror glass for the right price. hot_sd 11-22-2005, 08:58 PM Hmmm...worth asking anyway I suppose :iceslolan I don't mind paying a couple of hundred for an auto dimming mirror if they exist. I found auto dimming rear view ones - just could not spot any side ones. Anyone tried anything else like anti-glare film or paint. I hear they exist - I've just never looked into doing this. metrompg.com 11-22-2005, 11:00 PM another option is setting your mirrors so they don't have this problem. i learned years ago from a performance driving school to set my mirrors so there's no "overlap" between the inside rear-view and outside door mirrors. one of the side benefits is less headlight glare. here's a description of the method. try it out. it will feel weird at first, but if you think about it and use it for a while, you won't go back to the "old" way. http://cartalk.com/content/features/mirrors/ hot_sd 11-23-2005, 02:18 AM Thanks for the link. Interesting and this may help although I have to say that I find that most of the problem is from the vehicles in the next lane although occasionally the ones behind are the problem. My Metro does have a day/night RV mirror (flip) - just wondering what to do about the side ones. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
