Review on πŸ” Grote 16032 Black 8 1/2" Convex Mirror: Secure Center-Mount Ball-Stud for Enhanced Visibility by Jarod Lacy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal "additional EYES " for garage parking spaces.

I first bought and installed a mirror so I could see how close my car was to the garage wall. It worked so well I bought a second one so I could ride far enough - it fits right in and I got too close for comfort on more than one occasion. These mirrors are the perfect size for my purposes. The mounting brackets are short and very strong and were very easy to install (on racks with mounting holes right where they are needed). Mounting directly to the wall would probably be more difficult due to the short length of the bracket. My first setup was too low and I was able to bang my shoulder on the mirror a few times - a bit painful BUT the mirror, mount and adjustment ball are strong enough that there is NO warping or readjustment. Initially I was concerned that the center ball stud was too tight, but the tension can be adjusted. The clarity and curvature of the mirror are perfect. Revain's price and fast shipping made these mirrors a great investment.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic controls
