Tip: You can move your rearview mirror position up

[Benilla]

There have been a lot of complaints about the mirror blocking visibility so this fixes it somewhat. The rear view mirror is held in place by 2 ball joints and the one closest to the wind shield CAN BE MOVED UP. Enjoy the extra visibility brothers

Did people not know this? First thing I did when I got my Maverick

I did that but it doesn't help much. Still to low.

You can invert the mirror body, too. Just makes everything appear up-side-down.

I do all my new vehicles as i am tall, it helps. Good low cost mod. Gets the rearview of line of vision. I reposition it as high as it will possibly move.

Good suggestion

Helped a little.

Ford over engineers water bottle holders and they couldn't do a better job with the mirror

I did this right away but it's not enough, the part with the 2 ball joints needs to be longer, which would raise the mirror above the black plastic box, I searched the internet for a longer one & there is no such thing yet.

I move the forward ball joint till it binds all the way up, and then adjust mirror position.

It helps, is it perfect no.

Guess I am not picking up what you are putting down.

Mine looks like the pic you showed. Should I move it up or is it already in the upper position?

And my 6'4'' big-headed self thanks you.

Sounds like it might be in the highest position possible already then? It doesn't fix the problem but it is better than the stock position mine came in

Take what you call the extension, push up on it easily(dont break it), until it 'maxes out in up direction). Then use the top ball joint swivel to adjust mirror position to your needs, this is the highest position it will go, i am 6'3" and its a ton better.

Hope this helps.

Yup. This may be my solo “complaint” with Maverick

Welp!…I didn’t think it was possible, but I love this little truck even MORE now. As a 6’4” guy, this was a huge improvement. Thanks for the tip!! (And yes, Im a little embarrassed I didn’t think to try that on my own)

Any fix for this yet… It’s creates such a blind spot.. Its to low even maxed out at the highest setting (like the pictures show)… Makes no sense and is a safety issue. I have to duck down to look right… I’m 6’1
