I look at several installations for the wink mirror on UA-cam they were horrible. You are by far the best and very detailed especially talking about turning around the brackets etc little details like that will help people who don't usually use tools or on a custom with this thing a ton. Good job thank you
I find it hard to believe that that many people don't know what a wink mirror is I had them in all of my cars in the 80s. it was a requirement for stop-and-go traffic in San Diego and definitely wanted to get away from cops
If the government wanted to require hardware to improve safety it would require this type of mirror in all new cars. Probably wouldn’t cost anymore than the originals.
dimeitry, I was wondering if I was the only one that noticed. I saw it coming from the second he held if up in the garage and it was the wrong way around.
I've never even heard of a wink mirror until now. I wish they didn't look like a big black box though. I want one! EDIT: I just did some research and found "wide rear view mirrors". Those look 100 times better than these and even better than the original mirrors. Do you recommend wide mirrors? Blind spots are a pain in the ass.
I may be late but... Sun Visors can be important. If you have a window tint and have a pair of sun glasses always ready (get the sun glasses anyway if you dont have them already), then delete the visors and get this superwide thing. Great upgrade. Otherwise, it can be dangerous. If you're tired from work, and the sun is angled just right to shine right in your eyes and you need to drive like that for a while, visors can help you save energy by not having to squint all the time A wide angle mirror usually angles a lot causing object distortion. It takes getting used to and then you still might be caught off guard by cars going very fast, because you cant look for back in them very well. A wider mirror is great, but make it as flat as you can get one to actually make it a safety improvement
Use a bracket (I saw someone use a door latch thingy) to offset the mounting point to beyond/behind/below the visor, and keep the visor's own mounting installed behind it.
@@C.I... If i did anything that tastes more room than the visit now uses i'd lose valuable windshield viewing area, which is already officiant because i'm tall.
milanmastracci it's the first mod I did for my 1994 NISMO sentra b13! paid about 30bucks including ship2store via Walmart ... installation was quite slow but easy, no I didn't delete my side mirrors bcoz I use them for backup into parking spots LOL!
I have a 1998 Honda CR-V. I would like to add a Wink mirror. What are the best Wink mirrors and how can I make sure I am ordering the correct size? Thanks.
I had one of these mirrors on my VW bug and I loved it. Do you know if you can still purchase these mirrors and where to get them.... Thx for posting...
You can eliminate all the blind spots in your car with just your mirrors. There are plenty of videos how. This.. It could maybe be used for bigger cars or whatever. I dunno
Yeah as i have a black box, but its not this necessarily this that I'd have, but can't have wheels, not even steels. Nothing that differed from the stock car form
You could also position your mirrors properly to not have blind spots. Worked in every car I tried, from 1953 to now, even with tiny fender mounted motorcycle mirrors. Blind drivers shall be blind, no matter how many mirrors you put around them.
Actually it takes you about 1 second to look at one segment of the mirror. So if you look through all segments of the mirror, it will take you several seconds which will almost guarantee a crash.
my left ear enjoyed this video
I thought it was just me haha
@@lucasornelas6113 me too LOL
My right ear enjoyed it sporadically
I was confused till I used my headset

I had that mirror on my SRT. I had 0 blind spots. The sun visors were greatly missed though

Yep I've had them on vehicles since the mid '80s.
If the government wanted to require hardware to improve safety it would require this type of mirror in all new cars. Probably wouldn’t cost anymore than the originals.
Lol I think you nailed it. "If they wanted to"
Do the mirrors move individually?
is it my phone or the sound is sometimes only on the left channel
i thought my headphones fucked up for a sec
I’m all messing with my headphone jack..
the mirror looks great. but what are you going to do now that you have no sun visors when its sunny?
JINXED ENTERTAINMENT sunglasses work a lot better anyways. I never found those vizors comfortable.
Wow. This brings back memories of when I installed a wink mirror on my Civic back in the late 1980s.
Got one in my '89 Civic wagon now.
@milanmastracci When milan installs the wink mirror backwards. Don't think we didnt catch that haha.
LOL I caught it too during the install, but I fixed it :D
dimeitry, I was wondering if I was the only one that noticed. I saw it coming from the second he held if up in the garage and it was the wrong way around.
I thought it said Wank Mirror...oh well...i guess Ill keep searching.
Nice one!😜
It's just a mirror angled down 🤣🤣
I had this on my 1975 chevy nova in high school in the 80’s. So retro like having fuzzy dice hanging from the mirrors. Lol :)
I just saw an article for them in the Hot Rod Magazine December 1967 Issue. It's on Page 91.

The thing with the wink mirror is the five panel's don't have any distortions to them

So, how do you add visors and a wink mirror at the same time?
Get a wink that mounts differently
Use a bracket (I saw someone use a door latch thingy) to offset the mounting point to beyond/behind/below the visor, and keep the visor's own mounting installed behind it.

Anyone already have one of these installed on their car?
milanmastracci it's a huge mirror :0
I had it on my '85 Toyota Pickup that was customized. I had ZERO blind spots lol

I have a 1998 Honda CR-V. I would like to add a Wink mirror. What are the best Wink mirrors and how can I make sure I am ordering the correct size? Thanks.
Did u ever get one I have the exact car and the stock mirror is just to small
Sound is a bit messed up?
Yes. The stereo sound cuts in and out of the right channel.
GTiR23 lol thanks u comment on sound cut off I was about to buy new headphones 😜😜👍🏻
What about vibrations? What did you do to minimize them?
I had one of these mirrors on my VW bug and I loved it. Do you know if you can still purchase these mirrors and where to get them.... Thx for posting...
Menards
Are the individual mirrors adjustable left to right or are they all fixed?
They are fixed in spot
You can only adjust the thing as a whole by sliding one side or the other along the bracket.
Okey dokey. Thanks.
I know this video is older but on my 21 wrx will I use function to my sunroof buttons/ subaru starlink sos buttons??
Hello. Got mine but the mirror is too shaky while driving. Any tip please
Add rubber washers between brackets n mounting surface to isolate the vibrations you are experiencing.
did you realize you put the mirror in backwards at first and then switch it or did you leave it that way to start out with for the camera angle?
should the mirrors angle to the left or right? Meaning which side is the low side and which is the high side
I look at the left side of my mirror I see a car, I look to the right....passenger's forehead....😂😂😂
thanks for the link, you're a real homie
No problem! 👊
Did removing the sun visors make the sun more annoying or does it do a good job as well on blocking the sun?
It blocks better than the visor does.
@@cowboy6452 tinting is also a thing
@@JyeFrench - Front window tinting is illegal in some states
Which was is the right way tho. The indents facing right or left?
They should be facing towards the driver I think?
I just put the 5 panel Golf Cart one in my car that has the metal brackets, it shakes like crazy while cruising??
I've got a wink mirror in several of my vehicles really like them
What size for a Jeep Wrangler is more suitable?
thanks for sharing.
how long is that wink mirror that you have?
i have an old 93 lancer converted into an evolution 3..
Your lancer evolved 😈
Imagine the parties inside that thing with lights and everything 😂
I think you installed it backwards at the beginning of the video
He did
I honestly don’t get it how is it installed? Help would be appreciated
1min in plays music on spotify to make sure my phone speakers not bust Haha reads comments to laugh
Can you pass inspection with this ?
when you drive are the distance in the wink mirrors the same looking distance as the noormal ones??
This seems like something you would do to a daily driver.
Why the Mini?
ast5515 Seeing around yourself completely is important in track. This just makes it a whole lot easier and quicker.
which one should i use for my r53?
Bro why are you holding the camera when you have a buddy there watching you with his arms crossed? Just funny to me 🤣
I remember these in old school Toyotas 1.5 back in the days.
it's gonna suck when trucks get behind you and flash there hi-beams #minilife
Turn your wink bar up so its not blinding?
😂😂 yooo never thought of that. HELL YA BRO IMA DO THAT !!
Kind of a good video.
Will this fit the 2008 Honda Accord Coupe?
How do you find the speedo being in the middle ?
I wonder if this will help with the 370z's blind spots
How did you get thbe visors off
Can I install this in my mustang 2014?
so unless you have tinted windows, youre kinda screwed driving at night lol 😂😂
How so? Like if someone is using their highbeams?
high beam and incorrectly aimed headlights. and when that hits your wink mirror, you get lit the fuck up
milanmastracci my car is pretty low and I have a stock mirror and I still get lit the fuck up lmao
AlertBeats get tints and youre good lol
How is that any different than a regular mirror?
Are these universal for cars?
Coloradoski24 no, the distance between those sun flaps isn't the same in every car
Thank you .
Will this fit a 2019 chevy tahoe?
Nice, I like it... thanks :-)
GOD!111 this is exactly what I was looking for but I couldn't find it
If Wink made an auto dimming version, that would be awesome.
It's a huge mirror :O
How can I contact you
Send me an email at milanmastracci@gmail.com
This will look dope in my 2012 Grand Cherokee
And what happens to the sun visors??
Mine dont reach how can i get it to reach
take it back😂
Those were big back in my day if car clubs. Yes I'm old. Fuck You. But still loved it then and still do.
I put one in my 1964 VW Karmann-Ghia back in the 80s. Didn't know they were still around.
So what about when someone is behind you with their brights on
Your middle finger works
I need one of these for my mini
Make sure your rear windows are tinted or people came manipulate the mirror optics to see you or your body in traffic
Take your meds
Mines shake alot why.
Mini cooper with roll cage 👀
maybe functional but looks like crap
fr
how?
I like that
The only issue I see with your wink mirror is now you can't use the switches above your windshield.
More fix it videos bro
there is a problem with the audio :/ nice video tho! I had never heard of this!!

Seems that you mounted the mirror in a wrong direction. The mirror should forward to left.
Good video. I just discovered and like your videos.
But wink mirrow looks like something for people who cant drive... what an ridiculous mirror... 🙈
milanmastracci answer my previous questions
Send me an email at milanmastracci@gmail.com
Right ear is lonely
Sorry :(
the only reason I didn't like the wink was becuase sun was all up in my face becuase no visors
WHENEVER YOUR F'N READY!!!!!
*you're
please remove that OEM mirror, unless you're going to blackout that portion of the windshield so it doesn't look so weird from outside the car ...
My insurance won't allow mods....😭😭😭
Not even this? This would make the car even safer tho.
Isaac Melliard this is not a mod , when insurance talk about mods it's mostly based on engine modifications
oh daniéll, i wish you were right. according to them I'm not even allowed decals 😂 I'm screwed
did they checked your car when you made the insurance ? if not, go ahead , There are only 2 bolts, noting major like welding and other things
Yeah as i have a black box, but its not this necessarily this that I'd have, but can't have wheels, not even steels. Nothing that differed from the stock car form
so you can see behind great but how about sun shining direcly at yours eyes, not so good then
Who would do this?
hey its backwards
You could also position your mirrors properly to not have blind spots. Worked in every car I tried, from 1953 to now, even with tiny fender mounted motorcycle mirrors.
Blind drivers shall be blind, no matter how many mirrors you put around them.
Is anyone else wondering what's happening with that damn accord lol ;o
Hilaire Duguay he still drives it
I know he still drives it, but he is going to do something with it according to past videos.
MFHFHFMFHFFFHFMFFFHFFFH only you need... MHFHFFMFMFH
But why?
Make sure u put it in the right way thoe lol
Lucaaaaaaaa
Why in the hell would you want one of these ugly mirrors in your car? Been driving for a long and never needed one of these gadgets.
I'm early syyy
What the fuck happened to the audio?
How ridiculous its like a joke invention lol like silent but deadly woopy cushion.
bit to big dont u recon lol
pretty cool mod but it seems pretty distracting imo
id rather get in a car accident then use that shit
Actually it takes you about 1 second to look at one segment of the mirror. So if you look through all segments of the mirror, it will take you several seconds which will almost guarantee a crash.
It seems functional but, super rice. Oh well.
