you got the ones you can only really see with the doors off, thats how mine are no big deal realy, or if you really want grab the top of the mirror and pull down it will be alittle sideways but you can see some of it

I have the same problem. What I did, was pull it in to the second click from completely closed and then pushed the mirror itself all the way out. This seems to get me through Houston traffic pretty good when the weather is really bad. The other option is, I had a friend buy a set of the trailer towing mirrors that extend out and did a little mod to them to make them work. Also, I know another guy that just stuck one of those little round mirrors on and he seems to think that its working pretty good. Just my $.02.

post a link of the relocaters you have.
you may need to rotate the mirror so you can see it through the windshield.

Take your doors off or use your Driver mirror and rear mirror.

Not much else is going to fix it.

I mounted the passenger mirror to the door in the usual place. When the doors are off I was okay with only having a driver mirror. I suppose if it was summer and the doors would be off a lot I would mount the passenger mirror to the relocator and rotate it out as others have suggested. I tried putting a convex blind spot mirror on the passenger mirror. It let me see more but wasn't all that usefull.

I went with CJ-7 style mirrors that mounted on the windshield frame. I cut and re drilled the Passengerside mirror and postitioned it like a normal mirror would be. (Typically, the CJ-7 style mirror on the passengerside is view out through the windshield.) At anyrate, I can still only see 1/2 of it from a normal seated position. If I lean just a bit, I can enough to get by.









THere's a couple three shot of them mounted. I like the look and I like being legal.

The last pic shows (some what) how visable the passenger side mirror is.
