Default Passenger side door mirror

Ames has a note in their catalog that while correct often it does not help much because of the angle to see. Is that a correct statement? Heck having a truck with big mirrors as my daily driver any car mirrors seem to have crappy rear vision!

Easy fix. Move the truck mirrors to the Pontiac.

I know! Heck even my 78 TA mirrors seem small. The 2004 GTO does have a little bigger mirrors than the TA.

My 65 just has the drivers and thinking about adding the passenger mirror.

I tried it and it doesn't work. It will not adjust far enough to see out of it. Fortunately I tried it before drilling holes.
