My 31 coupe has a mirror on the top hinge drivers side. Really not working for me. What are some of the options or ideas that are being used by other coupe owners ? Pictures if possible. Thanks

I was able to adjust mine adequately - the problem was with the passenger side. I've seen some posts for a 5" mirror - I was going to look for one and try it for the passenger side. I found it is tough trying to find an optimum angle to both see traffic on my right side, as well as seeing the fenders when I'm backing into the garage.
I have that set-up, but have a door-post mirror on both sides and a rear view mirror as well. This set-up allows me to see back down the road 'and' to either side of my coupe. It takes a little adjusting with the door mirrors, but it works well. As we are usually traveling slower than most traffic the use of our windows is Always a necessity.

I started with the 5" mirrors and I couldn't see anything worthwhile ----- so, I went to 6" round convex mirrors. Finally can see. The problems are: the mirrors are polished stainless and "items in mirror are closer than they appear" and they aren't original equipment. But, at least I can see. Install is simple -- remove one nut and washer. Remove old mirror stem; insert new mirror stem and install one nut and washer. Area of 6" = 28.26 sq. in.

I found this larger rear view mirror glass was better than the original cloudy one,they have new brackets tool. https://www.mikes-afordable.com/product/A17704B.html . .I like these door mirrors that clamp on but not on the hinge.https://www.mikes-afordable.com/product/A17741U.html. Have you got a fender mount tire? https://www.mikes-afordable.com/product/B17700SM.html
