Saturday night, I unexpectedly found they decided to shut down one of the main freeways out of Houston (FM290), and I found myself in a heap of traffic. Not only was rain expected, but lightning was everywhere, and a mist of rain here and there. With only 400 miles on the clock, I am not ready to drive in the rain, but I digress.
Changing lanes at night in a TR3, and trying to use the mirrors, as the smallest vehicle on the road, is not an easy task. I found the glare from the 3 mirrors to slow my reactions down to the point of not being able to switch lanes as freely as I'd like. I know the fender mirrors are available in convex, concave and flat, but I don't think that would help the glare. When I have a super-duty-off-road-4x4 with super-intensity-night-vision-headlights, close enough to my bumper that I can smell the beer cans as they fly out their window, I can't see anything from the glare.
Has anyone tried installing solar window tint on the mirrors to help cut the glare at night? The dash mirror is so small, it's hard to believe it could create so much glare.
