Those Little Round Convex Mirrors - cornflakes - 11-14-2007
I have a question about positioning those little round convex mirrors on the side mirrors.
Is it better to place it on the inner most part of the mirror or at the outer most edge of the mirror?

I hate those stupid things... as if you position your mirrors correctly you don't need them. but in anycase they should go on the outer most part of the mirror as they give a better rear / side view for you.
also if you have heated power mirrors they will not defog the added convex mirrors.

Outer. But play with it and see where you like it.

Yeah i agree....i drive a cube truck and 15 passenger van sometimes and i tell you those little round mirrors are HUGELY advantageous!
Of course it will never replace or substitute your own eyes and common sense but they are definitely helpful to have just to have a wider view
of everything around you as Nik said even on a small car like ours.
I also find it when turning around curbs, it's good to be able to see your tires and how close you are to the curb side or anything down there that you won't normally be able to see.

I looked today at work. They come in Square aswell.
Like 4 sizes to pick from either way.

I tend to stay clear of people driving with those idiot mirrors, same with old men wearing big hats and asians that don't think they need prescription glasses. Live and learn on the QEW.
