HHR Panel drivers...

Going to pick up my new Panel tomorrow morning and I was wondering how many of you use the little round stick-on convex mirrors on your stock outside mirrors to help with blind spots. I thought about picking some up on the way tomorrow and sticking them on in the parking lot.

I use one on each side the right one is slightly larger. I stopped to buy them on the way home from the dealer.

Thanks! One question...do you think they'll work better on the inboard or outboard side of the mirrors?

I put one on the passenger side only on outer edge. It's a matter of preference.
It helps but still considering a rear mounted camera

The first ones I bought the mirrors were plastic and were hard to see out of. Went to a truck stop and bought glass wedge mirrors about $4 each much better. I mounted them on the lower inside of bolth mirrors. I drive a panel and it helps lots. Used dental floss to take off the plastic mirrors and GOO BE GONE to remove the old tape.

Thanks for the tips, guys! I just got home from the credit union (picking up the check) and I stopped by AutoZone and got some of the round plastic mirrors. We'll see how well they work. Thanks again! I'm SOOOOO excited!

I don't use the 'bugspotter' mirrors, but I've been driving full siize vans my entire adult life so the blind spots are not an issue on a smaller vehicle for me.

True panel owners don't need them.
