Just recently purchased a 914. The last owner had just put in a new windshield but failed to install the rear view mirror. Can someone please measure how far down it needs to be mounted from the top of the windshield? Appreciate the assistance.

The center of the winshield is the middle of the polished aluminum connector piece for the windshield trim. With the spot maked on the outside of the windshied, attach the mirror backing plate using the magic marker spot as a guide...
