Welcome to SG. I don't think there's much you can do about the visibility, seems like you've got the best idea for solving it though.

easy and fun solution: keep the top down :)

i think the only thing that the special mirror would do is be able to see out the side windows as well, but i could be wrong.

Rear window visibility & headrests are your problem - not the mirror!

Get some small fisheye mirrors for your sides and learn to use those. :up:

We just drive with the top down all the time. You get very use to using the side mirrors. Fisheye mirrors are a great idea, thanks!!!
