Sometimes the door mounted mirrors can get jarred out of adjustment when the
door is closed. Mounting the mirror on the fender reduces or eliminates this
problem.

Subject: Fender-mounted mirrors
I was wondering - what are the relative advantages/disadvantages of the
fender-mounted
mirror configuration found on Japanese cars vis á vis door-mounted? I
remember reading in
a list posting (I think...) that Japan requires the mirrors to be placed so
that they are
visible thru the windshield and that's why they are out there on the
fenders. Anyone with
experience of both configurations who can offer an opinion?
Just curious...
