I'd be interested. Mirror adjustments aside, if I can get something that provides additional visibility I'll always consider it.

How would a stick on mirror not interfere with the auto-dimming function on the OEM mirror? You are no longer using the OEM mirror as it is covered by the stickon. Definitely like the idea, but don't see how they would be able be stuck on the mirror and not impact the auto-dimming functioning. Unless the stick on has auto-dimming function built in to it?

Small round ones mounted on the inside bottom corners and I can assure you they don’t interfere with ANY mirror functions.

He was talking about the Blind Spot mirror which the vendor is debating on making which cover the entire mirror.

I’m aware of that. Just my two cents for the people who say there is no blind spot.

For those with auto dimming side mirrors, what trim level do you have? I have a 1LT and just want to confirm I don't have them because while I've rarely driven my car at night, I don't recall noticing the side mirrors auto dimming.

Thanks.

My GS 2LT has the auto dimming mirrors. Think 2LT and above have them.

I didn't say there wasn't a blind spot, there is. Nothing like a Camaro, but his question was directly related to the topic and if the stick on mirror would remove the auto-dimming, which it would.

Just want to make sure people don't misread your statement and think the add-on mirror wouldn't remove the auto-dimming function.

I didn’t realize people aren’t capable of comprehending what I said. I’m accept my reprimand.

Having had a RAM HD truck with the towing mirrors I absolutely hated that layout when the mirrors were folded down.

I would buy them. Can I put a pre-order in?

I’ve contemplated putting bubble mirrors on but I l’m always hesitant as I feel they’d take up too much space without utilizing it appropriately. I’ve searched for mirrors exactly like you’re describing.

And YESS I know adjust your mirrors so that they’re facing outward blah blah blah but that just doesn’t work for me. I’ve tried it many times. Build ‘em! The market is out there!

EDIT: It would me nice to retain the auto-dimming feature, but it wouldn’t be a deal-breaker.

I would be interested, I currently have the stick on and I find them useful.
