From: Pete on 21 Apr 2010 02:13 My wife's 2006 Honda Jazz has a convex driver's side mirror. I'm looking for someone to supply a replacement flat mirror in Melbourne - does anyone have any ideas on who I can call? While I was googling to try to find a supplier, I came across what seems to be the current ADR for rear vision mirrors: <http://www.fedlaw.gov.au/ComLaw/Legislation/LegislativeInstrumentCompilation1.nsf/0/88A97BFF3124ECEDCA257257007D18BC/$file/ADR1401comp1FINALFRLI.pdf> The ADR says that the external driver's side mirror must be flat. How then have Honda been able to sell this car with a convex mirror? Peter

I suppose it's silly to ask if you've checked whether Honda Spares carry a flat replacement as a stock item? -- Posted at www.usenet.com.au

Not 100% sure about my wife's new Forester but I think it also has a convex drivers side external mirror. Daryl |
