Which mirrors do you have? The lozenge shaped mirrors often supplied from new are very difficult to adjust to give an adequate view. I changed mine to round door mirrors from Librands. These are relatively easy to adjust to give a good field of view.

You can also try to turn not the mirror, but the whole arm (or leg?) in another position. More inside or more outside.
And yes, it‘s good to have a second person for the adjustment. I undo the the leg and the mirror and fit a chrome and round motorcycle mirror. Works.

Agree with this - with my OME mirrors I could see the sky, the hedgerows or the road under the car but not where I wanted to see. I got some stainless John Taylor mirrors which are slightly convex and are brilliant. They fit easily into the MMC original holder in the door.

Hi: I can’t seem to get the right side mirror on my 20/20 Plus 4 to adjust properly. The correct position does not seem to be possible? It wasn’t correct when I took delivery of the car. Any suggestions? Thanks to those of you who helped me with the clock setting mystery. Thanks, LarryS On my past and present cars I have never found a problem with the original mirrors, but I always have the passenger side one around 1" higher up in adjustment compared to the drivers side also one click further out on the base adjustment patience is rewarded, as suggested earlier an assistant adjusting whilst you watch helps a lot. Good luck.

The factory mirrors are poorly made, and difficult to adjust. There were factory round mirrors available for a while, which were no better.
The aftermarket replacement round mirrors are a massive improvement, in looks, adjustment and rear vision.
