    Hey guys, yesterday i was parking the mav, and i noticed that it was getting too complicated because of the mirrors being too small.
    Has anybody noticed this too? Has anyone put more modern a bigger mirrors on the car?
    Thank for replying!

    They are definitely small and mounted to far back.

    I think for the money spent on them they look fine and if anything happens to them they are easy to get replaments img_20120720_202129_original.jpg and no the 4 doors used the same mirrors

    It's not our fault your car won't go into reverse. Go get your tranny fixed. I got a spare Maverick transmission if you want to do it right!
