Rear View Mirror is Drooping!

It could be your seat position changing? Sometimes my seat can't figure out if it's me or my wife, and then I have to push memory seat button for me. We both carry the automatic key fobs when we are in the car, or approaching it.

I'm the only one that drives my Ex. I have to reposition my mirror about every other day.

I find this thread very interesting. I have had to adjust my mirror everyday for the last 30 or so years. Why? my Dr says that in the morning I am taller and as the day goes on the discs in my spine compress and and I "shrink" sometimes up to an inch.

I used to catch hell when I was in the army. If I did the height and weight in measurement in the morning for a scheduled PT test I was allowed 15 more lbs! If I did it in the afternoon, I would loose an inch and lose the weight advantage!

I was diagnosed with arthritis and 15 percent scoliosis as to the reason my spine would change all the time!

Your doctor is right. During the day the weight compresses the spine. At night when you lay down there is no weight on your spine and it decompresses. This is one reason I schedule my physicals for first thing in the morning. It doesn't seem to help anymore though. I used to be 5'10 1/2. Now my height is down to 5'9".
I blame that bulge around the middle on my shrinking and the earth's gravitational pull. :D:thumbsup:

Had to go out of town for a week, came back and the mirror was severely dropped to the bottom right. So this is not me getting shorter or taller but the mirror drooping.
 






Give your Ex some SUViagra, that will keep things from drooping :)
