Wide angle rearview mirror

[mr_maxime]

I just got my wide angle rearview mirror from amazon. At $11 I think it's totally worth it. It's a clip on so you just put it on the existing one. Haven't driven yet but I'm sure the visibility will be way better.



And yeah I know I need to clean the windows.

I cleaned the windows and noticed the tradeoff while driving. It cannot be flipped to dim blinding headlights.

Does it interfere with the sun visors?

[mr_maxime]

They do block it cause it's such a big mirror, but they dont touch it.

EDIT: the other downside it that since it's spring clamped on, it will bounce around more.

Hows the distortion? Any further observations?

[mr_maxime]

Cars appear farther in the rearview than in the sideview. The only actual distortion is at the side edges. Oddly enough what I like a lot is how it is taller. I move around a lot in my seat and often had to adjust my mirror up and down.

Does it really help with visibility?

[mr_maxime]

It is. Before I could see about half of the rear window, now I can see to the door windows. It's odd getting adjusted to it though because I usually just turned around and looked before.

Sounds decent. I've only driven mine about 4 miles, and didnt have rear view mirror, so had to turn my head to see behind me...lol.

It attaches to existing rearview mirrors. If you don't have one, it's pointless.
