Review on πŸš— Rally Panoramic Rearview Mirror - Easy Installation, Fits Cars, SUVs, Trucks, and Vans (91515) by Jun Merritt

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good practicality, requires some production adjustments.

So let's start with the first impression. Opening the box gives you two things: a mirror and a small box of equipment. No instructions; the ones on the box.ish. So, if you look at the instructions on the box, the installation looks pretty easy. In any case, use this only as a guide and not a law. Here's why: In the picture, the mirror is upside down, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the mirror. If you mirror properly, you can see your surroundings centrally, and the way they are displayed gives you a view of the right side of your car. No bueno. You can see the right way by the logo on the front of the mirror. It should face up. Also, don't worry too much about the direction of the brackets; Use what works for you. Flat Complaints: 1. I strongly recommend buying your own screws. This happens to some, but they are very poorly machined and the threads are so dull that some screws become unusable even after drilling a pilot hole a size larger than the recommended 1/8 size. I ended up using the screws that held the original mirrors in place. Now they were built to last. For this reason I have 2 colors and 2 screw sizes. Cosmetic without bueno. I wish they came with some sort of plastic block or something that matched the ABS body of the rest of the mirror to attach the brackets. 2. Using factory color would be a smart move. You know that feeling when you have a cheap tool or gadget and you can see stress points in the plastic because it's poor quality, too thin, or both? Well, we have that here. Painting the plastic black would make this thing look decent. I could do it myself if it bothers me enough. Conclusion: It takes some getting used to, but promises. The idea is good, but some things need to be finalized on the production line. Edit: After a few months of hot Arizona summer, I removed the star because it's deforming more every day. I need to double the cost of the steel bars I will be using to keep the original shape for a year.
