The PO had put some kind of stick-on convex mirror over the glass on my right mirror; I took it off and tossed it, I hate those convex things because you can't judge distance.

From my years of driving trucks of different types, I use the mirror on the
cars all the time. my eyes click on the right mirror automatically. I like
the small round mirror, it picks up a vehicle that you might not see. on the
trucks the round might be 6 to 12 in wide. now I know that would look
rediculous on my MB.

The small little stick on mirrors are a joke, time I get my eyes focused on
one it`s too late. and they are in a fixed position.
I have stick on mirrors that are rectangular, they have a stick on base.
the back of the mirror has a ball, and the base has a socket. the two
just snap together and this way it is adjustable.

I like the flat right mirror, the mirrors that say the "objects appear closer
than they are" are a PITA.

I agree with the newer cars being hard to see out of, feel like Iam
sitting in a hole.

Gator, you have a nice looking 123. as long as there is Pick N Pull, we
can get all of these little options that were never ordered when new.

I've seen that car in person and it is really nice! I've been looking for a manual passenger side mirror for my 300 TD. If anyone has one, please let me know. Also, I'm really missing Diamondhead. Glad to see you posting more.
