BRP's Top Trunk Mirror

[Bob Denman]

Question for anybody who has added one of these:
Does the kit come with longer screws and washers, or do you just slip this in place under the original screws.
I got one off of EBay, and I'm just trying to make sure that I get it right...
Thanks! :thumbup:

It uses the original screws.

Thanks! Since the box had been opened, I figured it best to check with the experts! :2thumbs:

Sorry, I can't find any info about a top trunk mirror. Could someone post a link?

I learned something new. Did not know they had a mirror for that. I could not get the link to open--it locked up my computer and I had to reboot.

Went to my trusty BRP catalog and there it was on page 52. The $62.99 seems like a little pricey for a mirror--but that is the way all accessories go. :roflblack:02

That's why I've kept an eye out for them on EBay... I got real lucky: $40.00 :thumbup:

If you want just a mirror, Inspector gadget has one for $25. Personally, I don't have it but saw it on his website.

I looked at his, and I liked it a lot... Until I found the one that I did... :thumbup:

Definitely worth the money. No more "how do I look'" from the lovely wife.

You already got the answer about screws, but just a warning, be careful when wiping off mirror. Scratched mine bad using windex and paper towel. Luckily dealership replaced it without too much hassle.

The link doesn't work for me either. Just a blank BRP frame.

But if this is the unit the goes inside the trunk lid, personally I think it is a POS unless BRP improved it since I bought mine.

1) The mirror flexes EASILY and any woman looking into it wont like it because it reminds you of a "fun house" make you fatter mirror!
My wife hated it! I got a real glass mirror and glued it over the stock mirror.
2) The mirror being PLASTIC gets all scratched up after a while when you put stuff in the netting. It slides around on the mirror and soon it becomes totally unusable! Again I replaced the stock mirror with a real one.
3) The netting does not close well enough. I put a phone, cord, some other small goodies and every time I would unzip the thing, all that loose stuff would fall out into the trunk! I made a couple of clasps to hold the netting closed.
4) Over time the back of this thing gets saggy due to having stuff in it. This opens a "gap" between the back of the thing and the top trunk lid. Now small stuff you have in the netting falls out of there into the trunk while your riding! I fixed that by using double sided tape between the bottom of the trunk lid and the edges of the add on mirror back.

Needless to say, in my opinion $20 is not worth it for this thing. Could have been designed MUCH better!
