Blind Spot Mirrors
I just added a 3&3/4" round mirror to my right side. The view of the close in, right beside the car is much improved. There is a definite blind spot right next to the T4R on both sides. When changing lanes it can be dangerous. I'm 6'-1" tall and looking over my shoulder to see the blind spot does not give me enough view of the right side. The 3" is good for the left side which is closer but the 3 3/4" is much better for the right side mirror which is farther away from the driver.
I've driven pickups with camper shells or SUVs all of my life and gotten used to using blind spot mirrors to change lanes and turn. Our other car is a Nissan Altima and the side view on that car is worse than my T4R with spot mirrors.
I had a 3" round on both sides but the right side fell off on the highway due to the small cheap patch of two sided tape that came with it. This time I peeled the little piece of tape off and bought a small roll of 3M 2 sided tape (1" wide?) and cut and pasted strips of tape to cover the entire back side. So far so good.

Been using these for some time. We really like that they’re adjustable.

I just installed these Rav4 mirrors...super easy to install, maintains factory look, and added safety were worth the price.

Just thought it could help someone out to see another way of looking at this type of setup. Not trying to tell anybody this is the best or only way. We’ve been doing it like this for years along with the adjustable blind spot mirrors I mentioned couple of posts ago. At least this combination really works well for us.

My T4R came with the adjustable type. I really like them! Had neck fusion a few years ago so snapping my head around to quickly check the lane next to me is impossible.
