Replace inside rear view mirror with wide angle ?
I would like to replace the standard oval interior mirror on my 2012 Countryman S with a wide angle mirror or at least with a mirror that was a bit wider and had a thinner rim. I am not concerned about dimming because I have a pretty dark tint on my rear window.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I think I will write to Razo.

Well, I got the convex one from Amazon.... and happily ripped open the box (well, it wasn't that easy), but I can't get it to clip onto the old mirror in my Countryman. It seems it won't expand quite far enough.. Another centimeter or so would do it.
I think I will write to Razo.

My wife and I even tried together last night but no luck.
I wonder if there is a difference in the oem mirrors on our cars. I have a non electric two position mirror.
Thanks,

As I wrote in another note. I called Carmate today and they told me that the Razo mirrors all have the same clamps in back regardless of the size of the mirror, so I don't understand why I can't clamp it on
I wonder if we have different oem mirrors?
Thanks,

So here are some shots of the mirror in my car and the Razo
Here is the original mirror in my car.
This is the original mirror in my Countryman.
This is hard to make out but it is the back of the oem mirror through the window.
This is the RAZO mirror, but it is merely hanging from the stock mirror.<br/>
This is the back of the RAZO mirror.
I may cut out the expandable clamps, hang the mirror from the oem mirror the way you see it in one of the photos and velcro the RAZO to the oem mirror.
Any thoughts?

I'll measure, but as I posted earlier, I called Carmate and they told me the clamps (brackets) are the same size on all of their mirrors. Anyhow, I took in into my repair shop yesterday and they tried as well. Then I went home and straightened out the bottom clamps (the expanding ones). For the moment it is attached by rubber bands, I will try velcro if I am satisfied.
Held on with rubber bands. The bottom clamps are bent forward so the mirror will sit flatter.<br/>
