The cabinets over the driver and passenger side of the motor home (rv). Dropped approximately 6 to12 inches. Few screws on the left side held it from dropping all the way down.

The driver side rear view mirror is useless during most of the daytime driving. It reflex objects from the right side of the vehicle and the driver cannot see what is coming up on the left. The company is aware of it and will not do anything about it. *tr
