Consumer Description

THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR DOES NOT GOT FAR LEFT OR UP ENOUGH. I AM 5'11. I HAD ANOTHER MODEL Y BEFORE THIS WITHOUT THE AUTO DIMMING MIRRORS. DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE AT ALL WITH THE MIRROR. RIGHT NOW THE MIRRORS I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING ON MY NEXT LANE ON DRIVER SIDE. NEARLY HIT SOMEONE ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS. NOT SURE IF IT IS MIRROR ASSEMBLY OR THE GLASS ITSELF. BUT I IMAGINE MOST LIKELY SOMETHING TO DO WITH HOW IT IS INSTALL. I THINK THE MIRROR'S INITIAL SETTING IS NOT PLACED CORRECTLY SO THE MOTOR CAN'T GO PAST ANYWHERE. THE MIRROR ALSO DOESN'T SIT FLUSH WITH THE DOOR AND TRIM OF THE CAR.
