Nice rear view mirror.

Used mirror for CRV. It really helps with this car's blind spots. It's really easy to install and won't fall off. I use auxiliary mirrors to complement the primary mirror. That means I don't tilt extra mirrors onto other areas. I've been using it for almost a year with no problems.

Pros
  • Sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Minor defects

Functionality at its best

This mirror allows you to see the entire rear window and only the outside left and right, so the correct setting effectively eliminates the blind spots you run into both sides of your vehicle from the original rear view mirrors and side rear view mirrors. It definitely adds a layer of safety, security and driving confidence. Once you start using it, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Some cons

Love it. you can't drive without it!

This rearview mirror has been a lifesaver for me and I'm SO glad I bought it! I have severe back problems and it is becoming increasingly difficult to turn around to see if there is anything behind my car before backing up, and even more difficult when wearing a brace all over my back. While I don't rely 100% on this rearview mirror to show me everything that's going on behind my car, it did ensure that I didn't have to turn around as much or as much as I should have before I buy this mirror. I

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Useless features

The view is distorted but it is actually

This thing distorts vision (things in the mirror are further than you see), but you're actually using the rearview mirror to measure distance or tell what's behind you. I wouldn't trade this thing for the whole world. I have a full size Astro Van and I can see every seat and window! It's like having side/rearview mirrors in front. Anyway, I always double check, but this thing is awesome. She has several other areas that I have to complain about. The mirrors on the side are really ugly and a bit

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model

Looks cheap, works in daylight

The back of the mirror is white plastic and looks cheap and unfinished when looking at the car because the spring mounts are visible. Lack of smooth surface. It also looks huge. I think white is better because black absorbs heat and may not add durability. a little but not bad enough to cause problems in my 2012 Ford Focus. As for my work, I wanted something to be visible from the rear side windows. to see blind spots in adjacent lanes. Between the front headrests and the pillars that get in…

Okay, but it could be a lot better.

I recently purchased an F-350 Crewcab. The standard mirror that came with the kit is so small it's a joke. I was looking for a larger mirror and came across this one. Ouch! Before I bought this one I bought one off the shelf at PepBoys and it was complete rubbish. The mirror surface was painted (no glass) and wasn't even smooth. He was blue too. It looked like looking through an aquarium. Car Mate PL111A is much better. The mirrors are made of real glass and offer a good clear picture. The…

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Minor Repairability

Product as advertised

I bought this for my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. There is enough space between the visors on this car so that they can be folded in completely by hitting the mirrors. This would definitely not be the case for small vehicles. Although I was a bit concerned that the mirror would vibrate more than the standard mirror, I didn't notice any significant difference from the center section. The side panels tend to vibrate slightly. I think it's inevitable with hinges that allow small side mirrors to tilt…
