If your mirror is making a nice reflective pattern on your seat- move it!
I came out of work tonight to find my back seat just igniting cos of the reflected sun,
can't believe how lucky I was moments later and the whole trike would have been on fire,
don't let it happen to yours Smiley

22 years of bikes and it's the first time I've ever known it to happen
I'll make sure I point my mirrors up when I've had my seats re-covered,
Dunno wether to stick with black seats or not for the recover
