Review on BL Super Wide Angle Rear View Mirror - Universal Car Interior Mirror For Trucks, SUVs, And More - 300Mm X 85Mm X 33Mm - Curved Design - Pack Of 1 by Andrew Burnside

Revainrating 4 out of 5

5 stars for the concept; 4 stars for the execution

5 stars for the concept; 4 stars for the execution. The idea of putting the blind spot mirror inside the car may seem counter-intuitive, but it works great. Note that if you have tinting on your side window you may find that you get a lot of reflections off the window. The size of the mirror is perfect, the adjustable design give you all kinds of options for mounting. There are a few drawbacks to it which I list here, but don't let them deter you from buying it, they really don't impact the usability all that much: > The mirror is plastic and does not have a very consistent radius of curvature; items near the edge can be pretty distorted. > The mount uses 3M adhesive (good!), but the sticky area is small and the plastic base is not very flexible, so you may not get very good adhesion to surfaces with a significant curvature. > The ball-and socket design is decent but the plastic is not very smooth, so the ball can be hard to move; if your not careful and you push too hard, you might rip up the stick-um and pop it off your dashboard. You need to remember to hold down the base with one hand while adjusting the mirror with the other to make sure it doesn't rip off the dashboard. > The black strip on the bottom is stupid; it should just been mirror across the whole face.
