Does anyone make a clip-on or suction mirror I could temporarily attach to the passengers side window of my '68 RR. Or anyone with any McGiver ideas?
When backing into the garage I sure do miss a passenger side mirror.
 
I take it you dont want to add one? Why dont you mount a mirror on a pole in front of the garage. 5 gallon bucket and a poll and your all set.
 
This kind of rings a distant bell. I recall, way back when, somebody made a temporary passenger side mirror that the mounting arm tucked into the window glass channel and all you did was roll up the window which trapped the mirror mount where ever you wanted it. It was for people carrying a load to help to see the right side when your side visibility was impaired. This was back in the days when most cars only had one outside mirror. I might have seen it on JC Whitney or a common auto parts store. Good luck! Another thought is once you have your car in the position you are happy with in the garage, put some high visibility tape on the floor right along side your driver side tires, front and back. You could then just crack the door open slightly and aim for the tape while backing up! I know someone who already does that, ME! And I already have dual mirrors! I do however have an excuse, (I'm Old!)
:lol:
 
Hang a tennis ball from string on your side right at rear fender's corner, aim for it with your side mirror, ya touch fender to ball, your good. multimopes has good idea with paint mark outside drivers door, 2 marks better then 1. GOOD LUCK
 
Here's another idea: If you have room put a beer refrigerator behind the car against the wall, line up the edge of the fridge straight in line with the cars body line. Then, reward yourself with a cold one for doing such a good parking job! :D
