Taller people tend to have some forward view blocked by the rear view
mirror on the NHW20 Prius. A common suggestion is to pivot the mirror
upwards (I think you can even flip it 180 degrees) to get it a little
higher and out of your way.

Yes, I moved the mirror upward as much as I could (didn't flip it), and it
made a big difference. I think it even improved my field of view out the rear
window.
