Is the mirror flat for vortex? It has "flat" in the title. But I want to make sure it is really flat, not curved (vortex). Thanks!

Yes. This is flat. I can see out my rear window and right rear side window in my coupe. I can't fully use my visors anymore though as it is too wide.

I ordered one a few months ago, it is the old style Vortex pictured, not the new lame ones.

The mirrors that we got are flat. I have never used convex for towing. These mirrors have worked wonderful.

The factory Vortex model is metal an has a larger honeycomb design. The picture attached is of an Aimpoint design which is a much finer comb. I was very satisfied with the item I received...the Vortex design model.

When we purchased ours a few months ago, there was not a matching mirror that we could find. We ended up purchasing one separately.

Hello :) The large mirror surface has no magnification at all. The small mirror that can be swung (for lack of a better word. I'm super tired) forward has I believe 10x magnification. I'll double check. If I'm wrong I will let you know right away as I'm going to check now.

I've used my mirrors several times and never had this problem. I just tested one and the finding is that it's an optical illusion. When you first look into the magnified side it is so magnified that one can not see any thing. Then when you start "focusing" it does momentarily appear to be upside down. However, when you bring your face up close and truly focus using the magnification all is correct. Not upside down at all. So maybe experiment a little on getting it into focus and I believe you will be happy with the results. Good luck. Betty

The curve provides a wider angle,view however, it does distort the distance perspective between your vehicle and the ones in the mirror. As Meatloaf said, "objects in the rear view mirror may be closer than they are" . I prefer the flat mirror due to the more accurate perspective. Matter of personal preference.

Hello Marcio, This mirror comes flat black and is made to fit only the left side. If you need the right side, here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00498IK5G

Hi Edwin, it seems to be slightly convex but you don't notice it. It's a great mirror.

Absolutely, it works great. You just need a rail to mount it to. I'd suggest the kvar side mount one, it's been rock solid with the vortex on it, they've both maintained zero perfectly.

If you are talking about the screw that holds the convex mirror to the convex mirror housing, it is not an exotic screw. I didn't measure it, but I think it is a #8 x 1" pan head sheet metal screw. I'd suggest testing different screws until you find the right one so you don't cross thread the bore for this screw. I don't suggest glueing these two pieces together for two reasons. One is you can't remove the entire mirror unless you destroy the housing. The other is that the ball joint that allows adjustment is nicely tight. I found that removing the mirror from the housing, nudging the ball joint, then refitting and checking for view, was more successful than just pushing on one side or the other with my thumb as is suggested in the instructions. If you are referring to the pair of screws that are part of the clamping mechanism, I tried to get extras that were a little shorter than as supplied and couldn't find them. They are a metric size, I think a #7. The hardware store I go to has a pretty complete stock, but not that size. It wasn't worth going to a specialty screw supply to find them.

See my explanation on 4/18/13. Really a nice mirror, my only complaint was I need added lighting but if I had to do it over again---I'd still buy this one. It is a 2 sided mirror---l magnification on l side, 2 on the other---with the 15 being that smaller area on the 2nd side!!! Hope that helps......

The unevenness may create a problem for your *mirror*, as it won't have a continuous solid wall behind it. But the mirror brackets shd perform as intended.

Hello, It is the Inside Mirror. I need an inside mirror to fit in the 8x11 space. My last response from Ultimate was they were going to Re-Send the mirror.. weeks ago. This is the third attempt in trying to resolve this. THANK YOU. bonnie

i would make sure the bottom piece is in correctly, and the base is secured correctly. Sometimes mine will not vortex unless I make these adjustments. If it still doesn't work, I would call customer service. Good luck!
