My fav mirror (especially for the money) is the CIPA Vision 180.

I don't believe that it comes with the windshield mount however.

I thought you had the monster tower mirror arm though? Why would you want a windshield mirror? they are typically right in my way to see when they're at the top of the windshield because I'm usually sitting on the flip up bolster.

Yes to this mirror! I mount mine on the center windshield so that it is not in my way.

Where's everyone putting their mirrors. No matter where we put the mirror on our Craz it's in the way and takes up a lot of our view forward. One of the things we liked most about our LSV was how the tower mounted mirror was never in the way. I know it's not possible on the Craz but there's got to be a better option.

Put down the booster seat and look through the windshield.

About the only time I have the booster down is when we're just cruising around. Whenever we're towing its up. I like the higher vantage point so I can get a better picture of my surroundings.

I agree with Josh, I never use the bolster seat. But if you are not comfortable with that, if you are using the ptm 140degree mirror you can mount it on the passenger side near the middle (similar to older Malibus) and angle to view your riders from the bolster seat and still have a view ahead.

+1 for this in black. I could never keep the factory mojo mirror tight. When driving I was looking at myself a lot of time. Which was not exciting.

What is your build date David?

David, what did you decide for your mirror solution?

If you end up getting something like the CIPA vision 180, and then need to get a separate windshield mount, I'd send it your way for $20 shipped. I have it laying around in my 'extra parts' box and don't see myself using it anytime soon since I have the Monster quick release mirror arm...

I picked up the Sampson reverse arch last year. Works really well and does not block my view at all. I found my windshield mount was alway in the way.

Dave don't go cheap at this point man.

Get the real mount and be happy the first time.

I got this one when I got the mirror and its AWESOME.

You really grabs the windshield frame with hidden tightening bolts. Also the mirror has a tilt down feature so you don't need to remove it when towing or putting the cover on. I love mine and would recommend it to anyone with the windshield mount mirrors.

I found out the boat comes with a mirror and mount standard so I'm going to roll with that until I hate it enough to replace it

That's fine, in all actuality I need Heidi to get annoyed with it. She's the one who can release the funds.

How does the reverse arch mount? I thought the tower was so far behind the drivers seat you couldnt use this type of mount ?

You can't. Not without some sort of ridiculous inspector gadget type extension to reach waaaaay forward.

This is what I came up with recently. Factory mirror.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170819/b7eccdaca3505c519a427fd14654e7bf.jpg

It actually works great. And it also folds up with the Bimini and is protected by the Bimini travel cover. Win. Win.

Not bad. I may try that lol I hate mine on my windshield. I'm always turning it vertical when cruising to have a better view of what's around me.

We run the mirror on the center windshield , seems to work good , don't seem to loose much visibility , I like the off the bimini idea , but now that its cooling off here , the bimini stays stowed.

What I mean is that it is the factory windshield mount mirror. I just moved it to the Bimini.

It drives me nuts on the windshield. Not near high enough and you don't get near the view that I got on my 08 lsv with the tower mount mirror.

It can move around with a big wave if it's not locked down tight. So far seems to be working well. Way better than on the windshield.
