Have you guys noticed...

that the vanity mirrors aren't centered on your face? When I look in the mirror I only see the right half of my face.

There is a TSB out to move the mirror so it allows you to see your face without moving your head.

But the TSB says before going to the trouble and expense of moving the mirror, to move your head to one side or the other and see if that corrects the problem. If it does, no further action is required.

I saw on another forum that Acura was actually thinking about doing a recall...keep an eye out for the notice in your mailbox...

jatt: Very clever of you to use a quote from Astroboy from another thread in this one.

I hope so, but I wanted to find out before I actually closed the thread.

This is actually set by the dealer to allow the vehicle's owner to only see their "Good" side ...

Acura TL the only vehicle that helps you look [almost] as good as the vehicle you drive.

you must have got those gangsta lean mirrors, Acura assumed you'd be pimpin back and to the right.. in which case the mirror would be centered.

I guess you were bound to find out sooner or later...the truth is...man, I hate to be the one to break the news to you...but, the fact of the matter is you only have half a face. All the mirrors in your home are trick mirrors designed to give the illusion that you have a normal face. No one fixed your cars mirrors. Sorry man.

Do you mean becasue the visor is slightly angled when clipped in place that it is making the mirror angle thereby only reflecting half of your face?
