Re: Improving rear visibility in 2006 HCH
If the '06 was a hatchback and MT I would buy it in a heartbeat,
but I can buy mirror addons for less than $850 and I get
to keep my MT.
I recently have had two near collisions due to my inappropriate lane changes,
leading me to believe my right-side mirror has inadequate field of view.
I found a dizzying array of mirror add-ons on the internet.
Amazingly, my local auto parts store had most of them in stock.
So I bought a Wink, and some of the small square stick-ons
which let me see my tires for parallel parking. I liked the square ones
because they take less real estate from my side-view mirrors
than the round ones do.
And after all that I checked my mirrors for adjustment,
and wouldn't you know it, my right one was way off. The cheapest
solution of all would have been to adjust them properly.
I am not sure I am going to like the wink, while its field of vision is
nothing short of amazing, it interferes with the sun visors and lacks night mode.
I almost never drive at night so it may be ok, and since it
is a clip-on I can rip it off for night driving. If I did a lot
of night driving this would irritate me enough to chuck it however.
The square stick-ons are a no brainer however, they take so little
from the mirror and add so much, they will go on all my cars.
Thanks guys for starting this thread. :-)
