Unexpected Benefit April 15, 2012, 07:58:05 pm Yahoo Message Number: 129875Thanks again to whomever posted the tip about rotating the windshield rearview mirror 180 degrees. I tried it in my '06TK, with a pleasant surprise. I have one of those plastic fresnel lenses stuck to my rear window and haven't been satisfied with it almost from the day I installed it. It always seemed to be reflecting light in such a way that it was near useless for seeing anything. But when I did the rotation of the mirror it was like night and day. All of a suddent the view through the lens was clear! I tried it with all different sun directions while driving around today, and it was clearer in all situations. I assume (without any knowledge whatsoever of optical physics) that the light reflecting angle changed just enough that the characteristics of this particular lens worked better. Would it work for a taller/shorter driver? Dunno. All I know is that it sure is a lot better back there! -- Jon ('06TK "Albatross")
