Interior/Exterior Broadway rear view mirror question
Broadway rear view mirror question
Hi guys, I drive a 05 mcs and I was wondering if anyone has a broadway mirror. The reason I ask is that it states that the mirrors are only good for ones no more than 80mm. I measured my mirror and it is just over that mark by a few mm. Has anyone put one on an 05? Is there an alternative brand that fits?

I have one on my 03 MCS. If I recall mine is a 270mm convex.
I know the rearview mirror grew after the 03 models, but it couldn't be by that much.
At what points did you measure your rearview? The broadways use 2 spring loaded pressure points to connect to the cars rearview mirror. i think the points are ~3 or 4 inches apart from each other.

I measured an inch or 2 from the center. From that point it measures just under 85mm. Broadway mirrors say that it fits up to 80mm. Just wondering if anyone fit one cause the place that sells them here do by do returns or exchanges. I don't want to waste my money if it doesn't fit.
EDIT
So I purchased one and it fits, but it doesn't cover the OEM mirror completely. Looks a little weird, but when I took it off, I couldn't drive the the OEM mirror. Guess I'll have to live with it. Will post pics when I get a chance.
