Moving the rear view mirror

Anybody selling a bracket to move the rear view mirror up? Maybe someone smarter than I came up with a diy solution


Thanks in advance

 

There are brackets to raise it, but before we go into that, I have to mention something that catches a surprising number of people.

The mirror has two points of articulation. It raises up almost to the headliner, stock.

You are aware of that, right?

 

Caught me by surprise too..
Just screwed with it and I see what you mean, thanks for the tip. What would I do without tacomaworld

 

No problem. Seriously, you would be surprised how many people don't realize that.

 

Found out a year after owning.

 

I had no idea, gonna go look at it now!

 

If you decide that's not enough for you, and or want to add and action camera mount as well I have the Bird Dawg Industries Mirror Riser with Ram ball mount and it has been great.

I highly recommend adding additional 3M trim adhesive to it though as your end up giving the mirror a lot of leverage on the mount and then more weight as well and without the additional support it can unexpectedly remove the mount directly from the glass for you.

 

Happy to hear I’m not the only passenger on the struggle bus

 

I can't wait to get home from work and try this.

 

The riser is a champ.

 

Another trick that works for plain (without a compass) rear view mirrors on a few cars I’ve owned is to rotate the mirror 180 degrees bringing the pivot point to the bottom of the mirror, thus raising the mirror upward for more sight line clearance.

 

I figured that one out awhile ago when I didn't see a semi coming on from an on ramp. Damn mirror blocked the whole thing! Got home & shoved it up to the roof

 

Does not play well with the Off Road’s Crawl Control setup from what I read.

 

Wait a minute!! The mirror will just go up???

I swear I've missed out on this if true

 

Is this all 3rd gens?

 

My 2020 has it, even with the big box.

 

Yep. I had one of those brackets to relocate the mount higher in my 2nd gen and recovered that when it was totaled out and insurance took ownership, was starting to take the mirror in my 2016 off so I could install the bracket and realized that it would move up to just about touching the the overhead console without any changes.

 

What kinda black magic is this???

But seriously, I did NOT know this. And I just replaced the OEM mirror with Gentex one since can open garage with it.

Well, I learned something new today.

 

Landed here after searching for a relocation bracket or something ‍♂️ thank you!

 

Always learning something new here
