Not sure what that mirror is but mine is mounted above my rearview. There is a little bit of room to spare above the mirror and I could probably get it higher if I wanted to. I can take some pictures if you want. I will probably end up making a new mount for it eventually but since it is in I am too lazy to rework it.

Looks like it might still fit. Doesn't look much bigger on the top then my mirror. But the whole thing might be bigger. I will measure when I go out to the garage.

adam, is your rear view "flipped" or are your running it normal to have room for the CB?

It wasn't, then it was, now its not. :cheesy: When I was running my first CB I didn't know about flipping it and after I took that CB out I flipped it. Ran it that way for a few weeks and loved it but I couldn't fit the 29 above the mirror with the bracket it came with with the mirror flipped. So now its back to regular.

okay, i figured that there was not the space for a cb up there with it flipped. i am not sure what i need that mirror for anyways since all i can see with it is my kids fighting...

Does it just hang there???

I guess you could say it kinda hangs there. It bolts to footmans loop for the hard top. I added the foam as not to scratch up the header. Also got some longer screws and added some washers so that it would hang horizontal and not at a upward angle.

Cool! I'm looking at a sport cafe so I may just wait and mount mine then.
