Are you over 5 foot 6 inches?

If you are then you have probably found the position of the rear view mirror too low. It has come as a surprise to a couple of us that the top ball joint (on the windscreen) actually moves. Initially it feels like it will snap if you put too much pressure on it but it won't. So if the mirror position annoys you put your thumbs under the elbow near the mirror and give it a bloody good shove and your forward vision will be improved no end.

moved mine as well, moved no problems at all.. wasnt stiff or anything.. much better vision.. now though the e-tag which is under it is annoying me, cause i can now see it instead!

maybe a quick spray of WD-40 or lanox is the go before attempting to move it ...
