The mirror eliminates the blind spot entirely. A great help.
It comes with no instructions for installation, e.g. where to position it. It goes in the upper left corner of the drivers side mirror.

This is a good drivers side blindspot mirror and gives more visibility than the small round one that I have previosly used. I bought two of these , putting one on both sides of my Ford EDGE and find that the one on the passenger side is pretty much useless as the rear image from this mirror is too small and makes things look very far away when they are in fact quite close.
I would highly recommend this mirror for the driver side but not for the passenger side.

This mirror is very useful in reducing the blind spot and changing lanes, especially for people with limited mobility of the neck. But you have to be very careful in picking the right spot to stick it on your side mirror. Sit on the driver seat and have another person walk around the side so you can see where this mirror provides the best view of the blind spot.

This is excellent for covering the blind spots. I tried the smaller (2x2 inch) ones also, but it's too difficult to see anything on the smaller ones. This for me is a perfect size (on a Lexus GX 460). It let's you see everything from the blind spots down to what's near my tires (pets, children, curbs) on both sides of your SUV, so it's very useful when you are parking the car as well. It does cover up a large area on your side mirrors (between 1/4 and 1/5), but I find that I don't really need the flat side mirrors anymore; I can see everything I need to on these convex mirrors. I also tried the circular ones; problem with those is that they reflect the sun (!!) all the time in to your eyes. All you need is a quadrant of a circle in a convex mirror like this to cut out the reflection of the sun and your own car. Follow the manufacturer's written placement guideline (lower, outside corner); however, do not place too close to or on the edges because it can interfere with your car's power mirrors and you won't be able to angle your mirror to a desired position; check the range of movement of your power mirrors in relation to their enclosures before sticking these on.

SEE MY PHOTOS OF THIS PRODUCT captioned "at the stoplight" for the 3x3 and 2x2 corner wedge stick on mirrors in the images for this product

Bought several different versions of these CIPA mirrors and held them up to my mirrors to determine which I thought would work best.

I have a 2000 Nissan Xterra which is a mid-size SUV with mid-size mirrors, slightly smaller than most full-size truck mirrors, but larger than most passenger car mirrors.

The CIPA corner wedge stick-on's seemed to be the best.

Also, I was a little skeptical that a plastic mirror could have good clarity since I'd seen some cheap plastic ones in auto stores with grainy or warped reflections.

Not so with these mirrors - very clear, crisp visible images - nice!

I placed them as recommended by the packaging on the lower outside corners of each mirror (another user photo shows them in a different location, but I suppose it's preference).

The recommended location fully reflects the blind spots on my truck (no more head twisting), while leaving plenty of space to look through the regular portion of my mirror for backing up or general use.

I put the 3x3 size on the passenger side
I *SHOULD* have put the 3x3 size on the driver side as well, but used the 2x2 as recommended by another user

For me the 2x2 was a mistake because it tends to make the cars look smaller, and you're inclined to think they're farther away, when they're really in the danger zone. I *SHOULD* have used the 3x3.

This is a risk even with the 3x3 on the passenger side, so you need to practice a bit calibrating your eye/brain. Once you get used to the idea that if you see *any* vehicle at all in these, that it's not safe to change lanes, then you'll have these (and any other blind spot mirrors) dialed in. Since they all have that same "fisheye" curve effect which allows you to see the blind spot but means things will look smaller, and you can be fooled into thinking further away.

On the *PLUS* side, the stick on tape is *VERY SECURE*. I tried to remove the driver's side 2x2 to replace with the 3x3, but I was pulling so hard, I thought I'd break my mirror, so I just left the 2x2 on the driver's side.

I though the shape and design were going to be winners, but the inside edge is over 1/2" thick.
Should taper from 1/8", etc.

Mounted them and the 1/2" + height is too much. Way too thick.

Tossed these and got thin stick on mirrors.

I use this on my 2010 Acura TL driver's side mirror. Contrary to another review, this works best on my lower outside quadrant of my side mirror.

Really, really great to eliminate the blind spot on the driver's side. I have been using it for 6 months and have had no problem with the mirror falling off/fogging up/etc. It does not prevent the electric motor from moving the regular mirror, either.

I'm going to get one for the passenger's side.

Only thing is, I paid $1.50 for this back in October and now it is more than twice the price.

I used to have the round mirror. After getting a new SUV i decided to shop immediately on amazon for a new blind spot mirror and i found this.

I decided to try this product based on user review and did the right thing. These mirrors are perfect for my Outlander 2011 side mirrors. I like the shape and very clear mirrors. Although i should have gotten the 3x3 but still this 2x2 works. Just make sure you purchase 2. Since this is not sold in pair... I had this mistake thinking it was sold in pair.. good think i got Amazon prime :

I purchased this mirror to go on the drivers side mirror of a Quad Cab Dodge Ram, for a little bit of extra visibility. There are a couple of blind spots on the Quad Cab Dodges since they are a pretty good size vehicle and I wanted something to just give me a little bit of extra visibility when merging lanes. I love this mirror and have had no issues with it since I placed in on almost 6 months ago. I haven't had any issues with the backing falling off it stop sticking to the mirror, which is nice since I usually park outside so it is exposed to all of the elements.

I plan to purchase the slightly larger 3x3 version to go on the passenger side mirror and when I do I may go ahead and upgrade the drivers side since I use the mirror so much.

I would highly recommend putting this mirror on any vehicle where you have a very big blind spot, or to anybody wanting to just see a little more than the standard mirror allows.

Bought two of these for my husband's Honda Pilot. He's lost 60% of the vision in his left eye & has had some close calls in the past when changing lanes.

These mirrors have greatly increased his field of vision, so he no longer has to crane his neck to the left and over his shoulder to "double-check" for any threats on the driver's side. You probably should order CIPA 49404 2"x 2" Corner Wedge Stick-On"2 x 2 spot mirrors for a vehicle this size (mid size SUV), but I ordered the 3 x 3 (my bad), which would probably work best for a larger vehicle like a pickup. Still deserves a 5 star review, since the goof was mine.

Super easy to install; has a large, round double-stick tape base on the back; mounts securely and quickly. Just be sure to clean the glass with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol before applying. I mounted them both myself, in about 3 minutes flat. Easy, easy, easy.

Great safety improvement & can't beat the price!
