Car Blind Spot Mirror Position

Blind spot mirrors are handy little devices that fit onto the wing mirrors of a vehicle and help to show the driver what is in their blind spot.

Car blind spot mirror position.

Traditional placement of a blind spot mirror allows a driver to see the flank of the car being driven and the car directly behind it. You could angle the right side blind spot mirror for a wide view of the blind spot because the right side of the car has the biggest blind spot and angle your left side blind spot mirror downwards to see the parking lines. The most common areas to place blind spot mirrors are the upper outer corner and the lower outer corner of the side mirror. Those who have preferred mirror adjustments without following the above steps should place blind side mirrors at the upper outside corner to ensure blind spots are covered.

First it s important to differentiate between which ones you need. Another way to place the blind spot mirror is the inner lower part of the side view mirror. Adjust the blind spot mirrors so that the car in the rearview mirror is not visible in the blind spot mirrors. This way the blind spot mirror takes up the least amount of useful space of the factory side view mirror.

For most vehicles the optimal location for installation is the upper corner on the outside of the mirror. However it may be difficult to see a car to the left. This is the area towards the rear of the car that is not visible in the mirrors when the driver is facing forwards. Make sure your side view mirror itself is positioned correctly you shouldn t be able to see the side of your car and then adjust the blind spot mirror so that you can see what the other mirror misses.

To use a blind spot mirror correctly it should be installed so that it provides a view of the blind spots to your right and left when sitting in the driver s seat. If you have two blind spot mirrors you can get the best of both worlds.
