Spinning it did not help? I was getting ready to go do that untill I got to the end of this. That sucks it is in my face also.

I forgot they were up there.

I was always jealous of that RI 2 year rule. Here in Mass, you have 2 weeks... brand new or not!

I just did this to my mirror yesterday. It helped some, still in the way a bit, but not as bad as before. I guess I will just have to live with it.

It drives me crazy. I loosen the screw and take it off as needed when I drive. It is usually in my center console. I don't think that it is illegal if you have both side mirrors.

It's a Jeep thing.

Checking the blind spot at your 2 o-clock becomes automatic after a while, not to mention the nice stretch your neck gets. It's good for your posture.

The rear view in the way was the first thing I noticed as being different than my TJ when I got the JK. I have gotten used to it now and I guess I mentally block it out. The second thing that distracted me was the hood latches stick up in your view over the hood. They didn't do that in the TJ.

I have no clue about Cali, but in CO i got tickets for a blocked, then a missing rearview.

I am about 90% positive it has to be there in NY. But i would have to ask around to be sure.
