Exterior Rearview Mirror for Vehicles, in Particular Passenger Vehicles
Abstract
An exterior rearview mirror for vehicles, in particular for passenger vehicles, has a mirror foot which can be fixed on a front door below a vehicle belt line. The vehicle has a door formed of an outer panel which is provided with an opening, and an inner reinforcement. An extremely rigid, play-free and simply configured connection of the mirror foot to the inner reinforcement of the door is obtained in that a lower end region of a supporting part of the mirror foot is guided through the opening in the outer panel and is connected within the door directly to the inner reinforcement of the door via a self-centering mounting and a central fastening screw.

Can't see if there are back seats. Look at the underside rear of the car at the end of the video. Looks different. Has the engine been turned around?

I just watched it again. If you listen to the 2nd part of the video, where the camera person seems to be pulled over - they are VERY close to a car that IS a diesel; most likely thier own car;
I believe that's the sound that's compromising the 1st pull away from the gas station. But the cars pulling away didn't sound like a diesel; and at idle- when pumping- in the 1st part of the video; they sounded like the typical flat 6 with the 'tic tic tic tic tic tic tic' of our beloved 997 plant.
