Blind spot mirrors

[Jt-wrx]

i've used the cheap napa auto parts 3" convex stick on mirrors for everything, maybe a couple decades now, nice flat tin edge (not the thick raised black plastic edge), on the jeep i found with the more narrow vertical mirrors the best spot was top outside corners to leave the rest of mirror most usable for everything else

2" just too small imo, always the 3", i would run those on any vehicle, a sports car with small mirrors to begin with...as those 3" convex are more useful than anything else imo

@JeepCares ? Comments? Will Jeep ever have the same blind spot mirrors as you now have on the Jeep Renegade? Please advise/comment.

I tried a mirror off of Amazon. It attaches using 3M tape. I bought some additional tape and added another strip between the two pieces included. I'm going to see how it lasts before adding one on the other side. I'll probably also add some of the small round mirrors in the lower outside corners of the main mirrors.

Did you like the blind spot mirror you posted here? I've been trying to find one for my gladiator and would appreciate your thoughts! Thanks.

It works fairly well for keeping it straight when parking, but not too useful when driving. I got some of the little round mirrors to try in the lower corners. I'm hoping to get them on this weekend.

This is a small crop from a bigger picture. These are small stick-on mirrors purchased at the local auto parts store. They work great. But, don't put them where I did. It looks OK in this picture, of the passenger side. But if you put it inboard on the driver's side, that's the wrong spot! It blocks the natural spot your eyes go to for normal driving. Place it outboard! I've been wanting to change them ever since I put them on.

i did this mistake also, i did take them off and buy new ones to re-do. Outboard up high is the best spot. I use the full 3" ones with the rolled over tin lip instead of those 2" ones with the raised black plastic lip. I find those just too small. The 3" ones have always been so valuable to me as a shoulder check super fast glance alternative and also aid in backing up seeing lines etc. that i've run them for more than 20 years...there's my two cents

the rolled over tin lip is less distracting to the at glance view and when you have to clean them with windshield squidgy it works better, i live where there's snow and crap so you do have to do that once in awhile and the raised black plastic lip catches too much goop and you don't end up with as clean, runs down after you clean etc.

I used these on my JK and plan on ordering for the JT. They have a swivel on the back so they can be adjusted. I had mine set so I could see my rear tires on the trails.

Those look interesting. I keep looking for a replacement tow mirror that is a bolt on replacement. I guess I ask for too much. I have a 21 foot center console and the stock mirrors are terrible when backing the boat.

Did you end up putting a set on your JT ?

Stock/before - (ignore my assistant/grandson photobombing.)

After - (objects in mirror are a lot closer than they appear - truck is backed up to within inches of the garage door)
