 Another useful suggestion for Tigers/Alpines.

I found the mirror vibrates when I drive.  Plus it
was positioned just right so a roll bar blocked
the mirror. I know the famous Italian quote from
the 'Gumball Rally' when the driver ripped the
mirror from his Ferrari.  

'Whatsa behind me, I donta care about'.

I mounted an American day/night mirror by gluing
the stud on the windshield using the special
Floric Acid glue that rearview mirrors use.  Its
available and any hardware/discount store.  I got
the mirror and stud from the bone yard for $5.

I positioned it so I can see under the roll bar
and the day night feature is great.  Its also
vibration free.

Of course I keep the original mirror in the glove
box.  For concours nuts, I can remove the mirror
and remount the original in 5 minutes.
