Assuming that you don't have a passenger, just move he seat forward to where is no longer blocks the view.

>98% of side view mirrors are set incorrectly. Make sure you have your side mirrors correctly set. How to set them.

Maybe some aftermarket wide angle sides? I've been pondering it, but i have the auto-dimming mirrors.

Read Julien's link. My mirrors are set that way, and I have NEVER had an issue with visibility. Ever. It works!

Same with the roadster with the top up, which is the situation with my Lil Rsggi. This past weekend, including today, it's been three weeks since we saw the sun and it was above 50 degrees. Do I know the vivibility situation. You just got to realize that your mirrors need to be adjusted.
