Hi Guys,

I was sitting at the lights when a cyclist came up and caught my passeneger
side mirror with his handlebars breaking the glass.

To repair it, I managed to find a convex "bubble" mirror which gives a much
wider range of vision which has eliminated the blind spot on that side.
>From memory it cost around $5 and about an hour to fix.

In the interest of safety, I'd recommend replacing or polishing out the
rear window. It is difficult to position the bullet style mirror on the
passenger side door so that it looks "right" and is still usable. Maybe
it depends on how long your legs are. Mine are short. Make sure you have
a second person hold and mark the mirror in a useable position while you
sit in the driver's seat to correctly mount the right-hand mirror. Then
see if you think the position is aesthetically pleasing.
