Outside rearview mirror

Hi ,how far back  on the door should  the mirror be mounted.Jim

Do you have a remote or fixed mirror first of all!? I should have a template for both! I will see if I can get a shot of it up!

[Jim]

Regular fixed mirror, mine is so far back  the vent window hits it.jim

With the Tri shield fixed sometimes they were set to the drivers view! The drivers height would play apart in this! I’m over six on my post car I have the mirrors set back but not to restrict the vent window! On my buddies car he is 5-6 we set the mirrors more forward! You have 2 to 2 3/4!? margin! If your starting with a door that doesn’t or hasn’t been drilled I would place them where you like! On my post car I have the passenger side mirror set back about a 1/2 more then the drivers side mirror! I will try to get pictures and measurements!

Thanks.Jim

Here are some pictures from my post car with the Trishield mirrors! Offset drivers is 4 1/2 from the door edge to the tip of the mirror gasket! The passengers side is 5 3/8 so a little greater distant than I though! Again I set these up to my liking and being able to open vent window! And like I said I'm like 6-2!  I have not being able to find the paper temples I have somewhere! Sorry I couldn't get these earlier has been a very busy week plus trying get things set for winter!
