I'm 6' 5", so already find most vehicles a bit of challenge on a number of fronts. A big one is headroom along with the position of the central rear view mirror. While the headroom is excellent in my Jeep, the mirror position is not. I inverted the mirror tight against the header trim, which helped, but only marginally. Replacing the seat foam only made things worse again.

Someone posted here many months ago about adapting a panoramic SxS mirror to their TJ's header trim, and that got me thinking. I didn't care much for that particular mirror, but a quick search produced some more automotive-quality options. I settled on a 12" panoramic and proceeded to design a bracket to attach it to the footman's loop riveted on the windshield header.

It seems to work well and the new mirror/position are perfect. The panoramic view is brilliant. Time will tell how the bracket holds up. Both visors can be operated without hitting the mirror, though some of that is just down to mirror adjustment. The header trim can be removed and installed with the bracket in place. I do have some concern that there may be interference with the hardtop header when installed but it will be a bit for I can find out for sure. No issues with the soft top.

Now I just need to come by a replacement windscreen without the black spot for the mirror mount.

After using the new mirror for a bit, decided to adjust the base position with a longer mount. Printed this one in ASA carbon fiber, first time with this filament. Bonded with acetone.
