SOM,  SOM.....another more or less related question.
The air conditioner chamber next the rear window hangs down far
enough to block full visibility.  From the front inside rear view mirror,
I can only see about 100 feet behind the van.  This appears to be
a design "feature" since it's been that way since purchase.  Does anyone
else have this problem and a possible  solution without removing the A/C
or replacing springs to tilt the van forward?

Malcolm, thanks for the mirror adjustment tip. That's useful!

it is possible to increase the travel (a djustment) of the power mirrors.
One takes off the mirror part and then br eaks (saws) off 3-4 mm of the
"stop tabs" on the base plate so that the   mirror will move more. I've
not seen this discussed in the last year so  I thought I'd post it. I
plan to make this modification this spring as  I need more mirror
adjustment for a good view rearward. Malcolm S >
