Position of blind spot mirror

[Rookie]

just like to check do you guys put the blind spot mirror at the nearer edge or further edge of your side mirror.

[Turbonetics]

place at the outer part of the mirror...

Does the mirror really help? i cant get used to driving with a blindspot mirror. My neck itchy so must turn around. lol

[Octopus]

I'd put them at the nearer edge, cos my main purpose for those small mirrors is for parking (i.e. see the curb or parking lot lines). The further area of the wing mirrors I'd rather keep them free from 'obstruction'.

[Jchuacl]

It does for me. As I'm driving a 2-dr car, there is a certain spot which I can't see even when I turn my head and have to rely on the mirror to verify before I turn.

same as Octopus....I use mine for parking purpose only to see the lines/edge of other cars/wall... very useful in getting into tight parking slots...position closer to door at top corner

What about replacing the entire mirror with a convex type? I found it quite useful in the rental I drove.

[Rookie]

but the convex type will not aid you to reverse or parallel park leh, unless like high end conti cars where it will tilt downwards when you engage reverse gear

[Rookie]

but if position at far edge, still can see the curb. very confused. i have driven cars with blind spot mirrors at both positions, but still can't decide

[Octopus]

I agree, far edge still can see curb. But the inner edge is not so 'useful' as compared to the far edge, so I'd rather 'sacrifice' the area there.

[Burgerdog]

i prefer mine at the nearer edge...

mainly use it for parking...

 

you can try all the different positions first before sticking it on...

and see which suits u the best...

maybe the real question is what you want to use it for?

if for easy filtering, then is outer edge...

if for parking then is nearer edge lor...

[Spycraft]

I placed mine at the bottom of the side mirror nearer to the edge. Use for parking most of the time.

just like to check do you guys put the blind spot mirror at the nearer edge or further edge of your side mirror.

 

put mine at Nearer edge for parking, curb and those MSCP pillar and can see car body too. Further edge is useful for me in lane changing.

[Smurfy76]

I place it on nearer edge.. to see the distance between my car and curb... and esp when those biker in the dotted line stay close to my boot.. very clear... cos even my head turn to check blind spot could still be block by the b & c pillar...
