Thanks; got them, looks good.
<div>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.
<div>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”.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">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:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
