Default Rearview Mirror relocation

I’m looking to see if anyone else has explored this option. I’m 6’4” and though I can adjust the seat and steering wheel to get in a great driving position, the issue is that the rearview mirror severely blocks my field of visibility.

Has anyone moved the rearview mirror?

I haven't heard of anyone doing this. As a wearer of progressive bifocals, the camera mode of the rearview mirror would work much better for me if it was mounted low (near the infotainment screen).

I'm 6'3" and I can't picture what you're describing. The mirror itself blocks your forward vision?

Not what is directly in front of the car, but definitely the right side horizon. So to see the line while turning right I need to push my head out to the left to view what is ahead.

my eyes are basically level with the rearview mirror.

Does anyone have instructions on removing the rearview mirror?
