I bought a brand new car &amp; thinking to buy this blind spot mirror.But some1 said that he broke the glass trying to remove. Is it safe for a new car?

Yeah. Anything that attached via double tape can screw up the OEM mirror. You just have to get your fingertip between the BS Mirror and the OEM mirror, then work your way in there to separate it.

Hello I have used there mirrors and they are great; Make sure to screw them in tight and check the bolts every now and again...you can see vehicles coming when you position them slightly wider then the ones below...enjoy

is the polish a protector? I was hoping for a few years not months...after all the car is 16 years old and this is the first time i need to do them and they are not that bad, kind of like the beginning. My lens are not yellow in anyway, just dull. Looking forward to "new lens".

Not often, I replaced my headlights assemblies. I did check with someone at the gym I go to. I put it on his headlights over a year ago. It was still OK. He sold car couple of months ago. I just bought new bottle because I see so many cars in parking lots. I end up doing it for free as a safety thing. If you plan to keep car might be best to order new headlights. Eagle on Amazon is good.the new ones have new anti oxidizing lens. Most are easy to install and adjust. Adjustment is important lookup online or in auto-manual .Hope it helps.

Looking at how other folks answered this question, I installed it differently as I am not one to even use the mirror. I would take their advice and install it on the outside surface so the mirror is still available. That being said, I am not a mirror user, so it is not an issue with me. Plus the fact that I live in Michigan, not Florida, so I will probably take the visor off in winter when we don't have much sun. Would I buy it again or recommend it? Yes, I love it! It functions very well and is a good design. Is it a bit pricey? Yes, but you get what you pay for.

I noticed when I first got it too, but then saw that the installation instructions say "Please note that there is a protective cover/film on the mirrors surface so that it does not get scratched during shipping and handling. Ensure that this protective film cover is removed prior to use and cycling." The film isn't immediately obvious, but if you scratch with a fingernail at the edge, I suspect you'll find it (if you haven't removed it already).

The mirror is not made of glass. It is safe plastic material which produces a mirror image. Very safe. Hope this helps :)

I am not sure if it is glass, but it seems to be made of the same material that the original rear view mirror is made of. The view is clear, just like that of the original rear-view mirror. Go ahead and buy it, you will not be disappointed! I LOVE mine!

I had this in a car accident. It was stuck to the windshield. After the accident, not much left of the car, but this was still stuck to the windshield - and is now in my new car. Be sure to have a clean windshield before sticking it on.

You have to waterproof it when you install it. Your local auto store will have some clear glass silicon that you put on the seams of the unit. Mine has been fine in multiple storms and dirt roads. I definitely do not feel the viewing angle is as wide as it describes. I wish it were wider. You cant see vehicles next to you.

There's still a tiny blind spot where a perfectly-placed moped could hide, right alongside the car. But a quick sideways peek fixes this. I could probably eliminate it, but my mirror is already adjusted to the max and angled to boot. One advantage of this mirror is that it works like a normal mirror--for rear-view mirrors like the Wink system, there's a tremendous amount of info, but your brain has to learn how to sort it all out before it becomes useful.

I usually have this little helper laying on my car's center console, if that is what you are asking for. Otherwise use the included windshield suction cup, preferably high on the left side of the rear view mirror so it won't interfere with your field of view.

Hi, mirrors are tricky to repair (as you need to be very gently during the polishing process to DO NOT overheat the surface) but its still possible, however if the scratch you got is deep enough to catch with your fingernail or even barely feel it thats mean you need to use our glass scratch repair kit based on two or three stage abrasive process - however if they very light like a surface marks, above polishing kit should do the trick.

I haven't used one on a Fit, but I am generally familiar with the mirror, which I have used on perhaps half a dozen cars. I just double-checked a photo of the Fit to confirm my memory. The photo shows it on the right side of the car, but of course, it is most effective on the driver's side. The mirror clamps (very effectively; I have never lost one) to the mirror housing with a screwdriver. It is a five-minute job. Once in place, it is fully adjustable, and in my opinion should be standard equipment on all cars. We recently bought a Hyundai Elantra, and the mirror is invaluable in seeing cars next to us, just as it is on my Lexus SUV.

For this you would have to remove the whole mirror and replace the main part of it. It worked great for our car. I think the painted piece will snap into the back of it

there should be no blind spot looking forward. The mirror is very much to the side, only a few inches from the left eye (assuming North America). It's not like a car's review view mirror, as it is actually too close to focus on the mirror itself, but the image behind is very clear. I wouldn't ride without it. FYI, if you have a conventional bike helmet with the usual glossy plastic surface, the adhesive won't usually hold unless the place you put it is flat (which never happens in my experience). I have used 60 second epoxy, roughing up the helmet shell and bracket surface a bit for adhesion, and this works great. Also, I commonly have to trim the bracket, with scissors, to fit and look the best. there should be no blind spot looking forward.

I used it like that on the entire surface of my trunk - looked great! I'd think it's safe to do so, but I'm not 100% positive either. Made my trunk look like a black mirror, it looked fantastic...
