Finally got the rearview mirror moved

[KoBear]

Hi! So I have always hated the OEM mirror hanging down so low. I’m 6’2” and it’s directly in line with my eyes.

I ordered the following parts:

BRCOVAN 1'' Ball Mount Base with... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C77R7MXQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

RAM Mounts GPS Round Plate with... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EET8X8Y?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

OR

And

RAM Mounts RAP-B-201U-A Composite... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005KWPJ04?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I uninstalled the oem mirror and mounted the RAM ball in its place utilizing the T30 screws that held the oem mirror mount in place.

I then mounted the other ball to the back of the mirror:

And connected them with the screw piece and it looks like this:

I am going to clean it up a bit but it’s so much better than it was. Hope this helps!

that only works if you don’t have the power dimming mirror. With the power dimming rearview mirror, the ball mount is dead center. You don’t gain anything.

Of note, the

hasn't been available on Amazon for a bit so I ordered this one instead. Nice piece and worked perfectly.
