He buys stupid crap like this...

But I got the 5 panel 30" long one.
Dont ask me why.
My question is...
1) who wants to buy it?
2) how do I remove my stock rear view mirror (attached to headliner)

Did some fuzzy dice come with that mirror?

What the hell is that thing? Some sort of parabolic with multiple mirrors?

it's a Wink 3 pane mirror. Used in racing to see what's all around behind you

i had one of those on my old a1 gti and my a2 vr6 and loved them. now i can't drive, i'm always nervous that someones in my blind spot. even though there cheesy as hell, they work awesome. when attaching mirror try to line up brackets w/ the screws @ the top of the pillar moldings. use those screws, this way you don't have to make any drillings into your headliner or car for that matter.

I second that! I had a 4-panel in my 93 Passat and absolutely LOVED it! No blind spots at all. I could see part way out of both front windows with the thing. I did have to use 2 windshield mount kits for proper mounting though...
That reminds me.. I need to order one for my Jetta coupe.

Re: When dieder has too much money.... (B3VR6)

Dieder: In Jettas to remove the mirror, you basically just pull. You might have to wiggle it some as it's in there tight. I can't remember if you have to pull and twist backwards or something like that and it's too late to look.

if you twist the mirror shaft it will come out.

Re: When dieder has too much money.... (88gti16vracer)

if someone used my car with this mirror...would they have to check their blind spot while taking their drivers test...

Re: When dieder has too much money.... (LeatherMK2)

I had one in my Volvo, I loved it. Only issue was it cut off the top of the windshield a little too much.

Those things always remind me of the knobs you can mount on your steering wheel. Metro-Bus style.
