Comment on side view mirrors
 

Went from a 05 350 to a 09 370 man what a difference love the car.
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

At first but you will get used to it!

They used to be a issue but then I hit a pedestrian on a left hand turn and they knocked my mirror off. I've been problem free ever since.

Just picked my 370 up today, previous was an 06 350ZR, my first adverse comment was that the mirrors seem taller not longer as one might expect to kill off some of that blind spot of previous models... Go figure... Taller has to obscure some vision...

Drive a Titan an then complain about forward blind spots, that tiny mirror on my Z is nothing compared the door posts on my Titan.

Image that mirror 2 feet higher on a backward slant...that's the Titan's forward blind spot.

I also have a Titan, Totally agree! ha ha

Another complaint about the Titan, when the shifter is in "D" position it is right infront of the volume knob for radio, you have to reach over gear shirt to use knob!

I just make it a little wide and you will have no worries.

yah, i have a short sitting height so had to raise the seat a little bit to be able to get a better view.

The mirrors are simply too tall, as others have stated. Since they are not setoff from the door (most likely to accommodate the factory electric folding mirror option available elsewhere in the world) they inconveniently block a crucial part of your view when turning in tight places. Too much of a stylistic statement.

i like the 350 mirrors.. lot smaller...

I find for my height(6ft) I have absolutely no problems with mirrors blocking my view.

Show-off ;)

Someone wil come out with something smaller and more practical.

For now LEARN your blind spots!

:iagree:

:iagree:

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:

i cant see how doridori tested this car without borrowing some arse raising pillows from phalen during his bestmotoring show off.

Its huge

How exactly did you do this?

thats what he said...

:gtfo2:

:bowrofl:

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:

lol. fail. :icon18:

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.

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

Agreed! :iagree:
