When you’re on the road, do you find that you suffer from blind spots in your vehicle? It’s a common problem that a lot of folks have, and funny enough there are some very easy remedies to this problem. Take a look, give them a try, and see more than ever before!

One way to eliminate blind spots is to stick convex mirrors on to your wing mirrors in the outer corners. You can find these small mirrors at your local auto parts store. Make sure your mirrors are clean first! This tip is not for folks who are leasing their vehicles… so if you are leasing, keep reading!

If you’re hesitant about using an adhesive solution or are in a lease, you can also adjust your mirrors in a way that eliminates blind spots in your vision. Here’s how:

  • Adjust your rearview mirror to give you a view directly to the rear. Make it so that it best covers your rear window view. Don’t tilt it to get side views – just straight back through your window.

  • Lean your head until it almost touches your driver’s side window. Adjust your left side mirror so you can just barely see the side of your car – no more.

  • Lean your head to the passenger side as far as you can comfortably while still sitting up and adjust the right mirror so you can barely see the right side of your car.

  • You shouldn’t be able to see the side of your car when your head is all the way upright!

This is an easy way to make sure you’ve got the full range of vision that you need to stay safe in your vehicle.

 

The final way is to find an aftermarket clip-on rearview mirror that has convex edges and a larger field of view that will allow you to be able to see more of what’s behind you. Ask us for recommendations!
