| Description of the problem | I am 6ft 1in tall and when i sit in the truck with the seat in its lowest position, leaves me with 1-2 inches of head space, i can not adjust the outside mirrors enough to safely see down the sides of the truck. The mirrors do not flair out or up enough for me to safely see into the adjacent lanes on either side of the truck. I sat in several tahoes and the mirrors were all the same. I have remediated the problem, some what, by attaching a convex mirror to each of my side mirrors. When the mirrors are fully flared up and out, half of the image i see in the mirrors is of my own truck. |
