I have no blind spots in front, its the driver side rear quarter that there is a massive gap in visibility. I always accellerate first before changing lanes to the left to give more room in case there might be someone there. Luckily there hasn't been any horns blaring from :mad: drivers. :tup:

How exactly did you do this?

i bought large washers and M10X50 1.25pitch screws (2pcs) to raise the back end of the seat. This is modshack's suggestion and it worked out great.

the front screws you just loosen a bit when you install the rear spacers and new bolts, and then tighten down. i think it was 36lbs/ft torque on all 4 bolts. check the service manual.

then you can use your seat adjustments to get the tilt of your seat bottom
to your preference. it turned out perfect for me. :tiphat:

thanks again, modshack! :tup:

I also came from an 05 350, and I know what you mean. I used to think these mirrors belonged on semi-trucks but you'll get used to it.

My comment is anyone that has owned both cars notice on the 370 the
bigger side view mirrors can block out curbs when making a hard or sharp
left hand turn. Has then been a issue with anyone else.Thanks

Are you kidding? They block out the forward quarter-portion-view and half of next summer! A pet peeve for me and nearly caused an accident once. (My driving had nothing at all to do with it?) Terrible ergonomics in this case and makes you wonder if the designer of the mirrors ever got in the car and drove it during the design-and-engineering phase. :thumbsdown:

yea the mirrors are the one miss step
of the design,other than those boat anchors the car is beautiful
