Does taking off the passenger head rest make it easier to see through the right rear window?
and how's the night time driving with these blind spots, do the fish domes help out?
I'm just concerned because my parents will also be driving this car and I don't want them to get into any accidents because they couldn't see out correctly.

No, the rear quarter windows are completely useless. And when I say completely, I mean, just forget that they're even there. Even with the headrest removed, the windows are recessed into the plastic interior of the car; that plus their small size, makes the angle of view such that you cant see out of them at all (you can't even see them, the windows themselves).
Having said that, with properly adjuster dome mirrors, or I'm using the LaneChanger mirror on top of my central rear view mirror (look earlier in the thread), the blind spots are essentially elliminated.
Actually, the only time I have a problem is when I have to merge off one of these really wide angle exit/merge lanes, you stop to look right, and the angle is such that you cant see anything, but that's just this one weird exit/merge that I drive by every once in a while, otherwise its ok.
