Type 44 Outside Rear View Mirrors

[Christopher Ritchie]

The outside rear view mirrors on my '88 5KSQ have blind spots.  I am 
occasionally surprised by a passing car, especially on the right.  (In 
Massachusetts it is legal to pass on the right.  It is common in rush hour 
traffic.  Yes, I usually keep to the right.)  I am an aware driver who keeps 
a vigilant watch on traffic in the rear.  That is why when someone passes 
that I didn't see, I am surprised.  The type 44 outside rear view mirrors 
aren't just that good.  I replaced my RH (passenger) side one with the 
convex glass of the later '89 and up series.  That helped some.  At one time 
I had those little convex stick-on mirrors.  But they showed too much, and 
it was hard to judge the distance of the traffic behind me.

Anybody have a good way to adjust these mirrors?  Presently they show 
straight back.  If I move my head a little, the just show the side of the 
car.
