South Coast Corsa posted an article on how to change the passenger side mirror glass from flat to convex for a wider view like most modern cars have.

I cheated and went this route; https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Scott-Dr ... 73409.html

My passenger side mirror wouldn’t hold a position and the temporary “gluing” was not convenient.

I ended up going convex on both sides, I’ll take the wider field of view over objects appearing further away. That is another area modern cars are much better, providing better sight lines in the side view mirrors.
