Somebody installed a blue top with glass window on this forum and I remember it looking pretty good.

Nah, i wouldnt install that on my car, I hate to accessorize my dash with stuff hanging from the window or rear veiw mirror, i wouldnt want this weird looking mirror with 2 elbow resting on my dash.

if only I could count the number of times that little $20 ivention has saved my neck driving at night time! The German Po-lice use it on zee autobahn. It sticks to the glass. I crazy glued the middle joint so it stay fixed since I'm the only that drives my car.
There's also the convex mirror that sticks over you existing door mirror but I think it more expensive. I might look into that one for the passenger side blind spot Either one is a must have to overcome the blind spot.

I'll say a little prayer for you. After seeing my mechanic do it, that's a job I would not touch unless my mechanic was letting me help him do it. There's too much precision gluing and positioning to do for one who has never done it before.

Please post pix of your process and journal about it here, ok?

I'd love to see a non Porsche trained tech do this and prove to me that a smart guy with a spare weekend can tackle it.

BTW, a committed friend who will work with you throughout the weekend and be a second pair of hands and eyes and brain for you would be very helpful.

PS. You may need a rivet gun and rivets.
