Have a set of Nissan 96301-84700 mirrors to be mounted on the L & R fenders
and wanted to ask if there is any way to measure the best location.

After looking at several other cars,  it looks like the mirrors single bolt
holes are drilled just about in line fore & aft with the windshield washer
holes.

The right side is fine there , but the left side is more critical because the
windshield post can block the mirror.

The location that looks pretty good to me is in line with the washer holes and
@ 1 3/8" down the fenders  from the straight edge of the fender where it butts
up to the top of the flat area just ahead of the windshield.

If any of this makes any sense & you have a location that works for good
viewing angles ect please advise.

Wanna measure twice &  cut once with this one.

Thanks again

Best Regards
