        Actually, the convex version (you knew that the replacement is
        convex as opposed to the original flat mirror?) of the right side
        mirror works fine in the vertical position. But if you want to
        swap the left one to the right, you'll have to trim (grind) the
        plastic to give it enough range of motion...

        No mounting block necessary.
