You are right there is no adjustment AND it was a pain to adjust them. The glass is a tight fit in the cavity and I had to use a pick many times to get it out and carve away foam from behind to allow the glass to tilt in the desired direction. To the point where the top of the glass is sitting so deep inside (on pass.side only) that I had to cut away some of the inside lip of the housing so I can actually see the mirror on the top side. I even used a laser pointer lighting up a dot in the bush behind the car so I can verify the spot I want to see in the middle of the mirror when sitting inside. ( it was dark when I had time to do this)
That said now I'm used to the tiny surface and I have caught myself changing lanes in both directions in city traffic relying on the mirrors only. Which I did not think was going to be possible when I first installed them
