TLX width - mirror to mirror

I've searched for this but can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know the real width of this car, which is mirror to mirror, not fender to fender? I've got a tight garage and my '06 sneaks in by about 6".

For the 2014-MDX (back then) I had to go to the dealer and measure it myself. Ours did not have power-folding-mirrors,
Now that I think about it, seems like a rope or measuring tape through the rolled-down windows might work.

based on my photos, I'd add another ~16" (to include both sides) to the fender-to-fender calculation.
Sorry I didn't think to measure - that would look odd anyhow - but this is a shot of the wing mirror jutting out the side. Figure that it starts INBOARD of the fender, so you don't have to measure the whole mirror.
(also would be nice if mirrors are power folding - doesn't the MDX have that?)

Was able to scale it from a top view in the owners manual.

I measured one with a tape passed through open windows - total width, mirror tip to mirror tip - 86 inches.

Thanks for confirming! I was off by an inch. 😁
