Did it help? > I am six foot too . I extended my rear view mirror downwards by cutting it and re-assembling with a piece of copper tubing and JB Weld. It works great,~ 2 1/2 inches lower. I painted it to match the rest of the interior (brown). I can see under the a/c. Only problem is that it leaves a gap above the mirror now that the sun gets through at times. I have that blocked with a stick-on overtaking mirror which allows me to see if my hair needs attention and other equally vitally important things in the van. cheers, Steve '84 Westy |
