One week since I got the car and even with all the rain we're expecting, I decided it was time.

I'm short. 5'5", but being female that doesn't bother me too much. Trying to clean the windshield on the car was really hard. I was practically on the car trying to reach the upper middle area near the pony.

Also, I always wash the passenger side of the car first because I don't really care about that side since I can't see it, but doing it first usually means I do a better job cleaning it. I put the windshield wiper up on the passenger side first, washed a little, then I went to put the driver's side wiper up, and it won't go. Had to walk around the car and put the wiper down so I could walk around the car and put a wiper up and then back around again.

Okay, I'm lazy and short, but it was annoying.

Oh, the sideview mirror cases are cheapest plastic I've ever seen on a car. Why did they do that to us?

Ok...washing cars is annoying? Or you're just annoyed 'cause its hard to wash cars as a short person?

At any rate, dunno what to tell about the side mirrors...they work for me.

OH, and I bought a broom ( I will see if I can find a pic) that I use to scrub my front and back glass, and my roof.... it helps BUNCHES!

Hey, us short people have limits!



**Heres a pic of the style broom I have --- it has soft bristles. (gosh, I can hear some of you gasping!)

The drivers wiper hits the passenger one, you have to put the drivers side up first.

Sounds like a personal prob, I'm 5'8" and I can reach more than half way across the hood. Also, I'm guessing this is your first mustang, cuz I have a 2001 and it still had plastic mirrors back then to, it's not a new thing.
