Rear View Mirror - Adjustment

[undertaker]

Just got my first ever Mustang delivered at the dealership. Can't help but notice that the rear view mirror is kind of limited in movement with all the sensors on the windshield.

I am 6 ft tall and personally prefer my seats all the way up or almost up. So that's what I did with this mustang. Set it almost all the way up so my head doesn't touch the roof.

I couldn't see much on my rear view. It was like 70% backseat and 30% the road/cars. Tried playing around with the seat, both back and pulled it front and down also. But the most I get on my rear view is like 60% road and 40% backseat. Still not ideal. Cause the rear view mirror kinda is limited in movement with sensor.

Any one else face this issue and know what to do with it?

I had to move the entire mirror down away from the camera area and then tilt the mirror up. Otherwise there was not enough room between the mirror and the camera to get any mirror movement.

I noticed this too when I was trying to find a location for my Dash cam. It ends up just working for me, but I can see how it could be an issue for some.

Have same issue, I'm 5.10 but, I can't move my mirror as I like to, it will touch plastic on the right,
also noticed that if you go over 65m\h it is vibrating so hard so it is hard to look at image in it

Did it work then? I tried this last night and didn't seem to work for me. Can you please make a video of how you did it? I know I am asking alot but would really help with this extremely annoying problem

This would be my only complaint. I'm making it work but the mirror is not in my ideal placement. I'm 6'5'' and I have the seat all the way down and back and I can see a good part out the rear view but it still needs to move up a little move. I looked at it and dont really see a way to get it to move anymore.

Is there a solution for this? Just sat in one and I have the same issue.

Subscribing, I’m 6’ 1” and have the same issue.

I can't remember exactly what worked for me as I dont have the car but one of this worked.

- I twisted it a dull 180 and this way it worked
- Or I twisted it 180 once and then again 180 back to it's original position. This way it got loose and I adjusted it.

Also interested in a video of the process.

The convertible is worse. I can 50% of the rear and 50% of the back seat. Salesman said thats the highest it will go. I can still safely see out the back so I am confident.

I’m 6’3” and we have the convertible and the rear view mirror maybe is 50% for me - definitely a problem

I haven’t bought the car but drive it last night. For me, I’m missing 1/4 of the right rear view. Seems like the plastic stuff mounted to the windshield prevents it from moving. This probably isn’t a deal breaker but it is dangerous.
I’m still trying to understand the 180 rotation and what that actually does. Just looking for any real solutions.

I had to turn the mirror to the left, push it up, and then turn it back to the right to get the mirror to where I could see completely out the back. Glad to see I'm not the only one who experienced this. Was this an issue on the S550 as well?

Can anyone confirm this works?
