Rear View Mirror - richard price

Daughter will be learning to drive and use Toyota Yaris when not being instructed. I have tried fitting a Halfords Rear View Mirror but because of the slant of the windscren you almost have to lie down to view traffic, before I go to the Toyata Garage to have another fitted does any one know another outlet for rear view mirrors.

Many Thanks
Richard Price

Rear View Mirror - Harmattan

Local scrapper? Look for a car with similar windscreen angle characteristics and/or a mirror with a particularly wide field of view. Cost: £1-2. Then the local accessory shop will sell you either the basic Polco mirror sticky pads for £1.50 the pair or a more expensive and presumably harder to remove Loctite fixer for about double that. The Polco sticky pad has lasted a week of warm weather so far on a mirror I had to refix and the whole lot can be easily removed when dual mirror is no longer needed.

No doubt your Toyota dealer will do a great job at a price but you might also have to go back to get the mirror removed safely.
