Asymmetrical Door Mirrors??
 
Is it just me or are the door mirrors on our car not symmetrical? Look at this pics, the driver's mirror appears to protrude out further than the passenger mirror. It looks different when looking at the rear of the car as well.

Just something I noticed. Have you noticed it?

umm.... no

HKYStormFront 09-27-2011 09:54 PM

they are the same, just sorta looks that way in that picture for some reason

kenchan 09-27-2011 10:09 PM

look at the light reflection on the hood. it's not dead center, must be asymetrical too. :eek:

You can turn them in on their stalk, can't you? Maybe one is pushed in a wee bit...?

symmetrical

Yup, one is folded in slightly. Prob somebody bumped into it while it was on display.

Hmm, mine looks exactly like this one and it's not folded in slightly. Even sitting in the car and looking at the passenger mirror, it looks angled in more towards the side of the car for some reason.

How about this rear view? Now do you see what I'm talking about?

Seems like a warranty or class action lawsuit issue :rolleyes:

I see what your saying (nice pic by the way), but I think the lighting in that pic is less than ideal. I believe an argument could be made that the darkness in your right mirror might give the illusion of an issue.

Got another example perhaps?

Here you go, embedded for discussion's sake.

I'm not complaining it's just something I've noticed recently.

KaienZ34 09-28-2011 10:21 PM

All these pics where taken at a slight angle.

happytheman 09-28-2011 10:51 PM

I believe you may be right.

There is a half inch difference between the driver and pass side mirrors
So it's not a illusion it's a fact.

Holy smokes!!!! Someone went and actually measured it?!?!?!?!?

It was more fun to guess.

Look at the black plastic surface that's rectangled (made that word up) in green. The driver side has more visible area than the passenger side. So it seems to be angled in more towards the door.

Am I seeing things? Maybe I'm overthinking but I swear they're not symmetrical!!

Thanks for clearing this silly discussion up lol

Is that Todd Bridges from Different Strokes?

HKYStormFront 09-29-2011 02:13 PM

yea i could see them being the same size, just angled slightly different in orientation to the driver

kenchan 09-29-2011 04:01 PM

yep, the mirror housing is symetrical. the mirror glass is angled differently...

Bertelicious 10-09-2011 08:48 PM

On another note, is there an aftermarket mirror set out there for our cars? I personally think the housings are a little big for the car as it is.

I have searched but found nothing........
