Re: New Obsession 22" UC

I do the same with my 22" mirror.  Makes it far easier for me to lift the mirror box out of my Beetle.

Very cool!

90 lbs is allot to lift, espcially from ground level. However, it Is compact:-)

Scott Baker takes his 18" mirror right out of his UC and puts it in a separate case. That makes the weight very managable. Great idea if you can do it carefully. I suspect that 22" UC owners will do the same.
