[Healeys] Rear View mirrors

Yes, Richard I agree with you about the use of epoxy glue.  However, have not gone to that extent.  Try the spit on the suction cup and let me know.  Anything to make our old cars more comfortable to drive.

Thanks; got them, looks good. 

I understand the situation. My windshield cell phone holder falls off similarly. I still have the one mirror on each wing and on the dash. I attached the wing mirrors years ago as I thought maybe they would work attached to the doors. But that didn’t solve the problem so I went with the wings. Not great but workable.  I had also tried the wide angle mirror clipped on to the dash mirror but I didn’t find it helpful. 

Just a thought: auto parts stores sell an epoxy glue to reglue windshield mirrors that have been knocked off. That might make it more “permanent”.

Thanks again

Regards,

Maybe you can see this picture as I enlarged it.  The other improvement in my BJ8 is to install a clear plastic shield behind the front seats mounted to the rail used for the tonneau cover.  I bought it from LBCarCo, so I will stop losing hats in the wind and my wife will not complain about the wind in her hair.  You can just see it in both pictures.

 

Cannot show everything as the car is in the shop having the engine rebuilt in Florida while I am in at our summer home in Michigan.

I know this will sound good for most of our Healey owners, however finally I got tired of trying to see the 2 mirrors on my front fenders and the tiny one on the dash.  First, I tried clip on panoramic mirrors on the dash mirror.  Not very good as they kept falling off and were too low really see behind.  Next, I tried a panoramic mirror attached with a suction cup, but it kept fall in off the window.  Finally, I found the best mirror for seeing behind and the sides.  It had a great suction cup with the ability to tighten the fixture, so it was really locked on the window, although I is not glued to the window.   Also, the panoramic feature allowed me to raise it up to the top of the windscreen.  I bought it from amazon:

 

Bittwee Car Rear View Mirror, HD 360° Adjustable Anti-glare Adjustable Extra Wide Automotive Panoramic Rear View Mirror with Suction Cup, Interior Decor...

 

Also, I removed the original mirror from the dash so I can see ahead and the sides of the road..
