Mirror Delete Blind Spot Solution

There has been some interest in the Anal Probe's wide angle mirror that I installed after removing the side mirrors. In order to show how great the visibility is now, I have taken a video.

As you can see, the wide angle mirror covers everything from the passenger side C pillar to the drivers side B pillar at the edge of my peripheral vision (The camera is closer and shows a wider angle than I actually see). It is a great addition to the car but is just a bit small to see everything. However for $5 and increased visibility I can't complain.

The wide angle mirror is one like this with a self adhesive backing that sticks onto the stock rearview. I got it at Target in the bicycle section.




Exterior of the vehicle:


Cheers!

So, how does that work for you in a winter snow storm when the back and side windows are blocked with snow and ice?

I'll scrape it off. If the windows are blocked with snow and ice you probably shouldn't be driving anyway.
