Get a clipon mirror to eliminate the blind spot.
 

I know the blind spot on the passenger side is dangerous. For me, the passenger headrest completely block the rear window. I can mitigate that by moving the seat forward but i often drive with my wife so she has to move the seat back thus block the rear window.

So I got this Clip-On mirror for only $10 from Amazon. It just clipped on to the rearview mirror. And now I could see what would be the entire blind spot on the ClipOn.

You should definitely try it.

You don't have to buy from amazon. a good auto zone would carry it.

I just use the mirror's... Just lean forward......

thats like using a clip on tie. Ricey.

lol a clip on tie is rice???

If you are in a nice three piece suit that cost big bucks. Kinda like a guy using a clip on earing cuz he is afraid to get it pierced.

lol safety isn't rice. clip on mirrors (convex, especially) help with blind spots more than you would imagine.

Old school here. They taught us to adjust mirors and turn head when turning or changing lanes and to see the big picture and know whats around you at all times. I probably look in my three mirrors every few seconds out of habit from drivers ed.

the reflection in mirror is smaller than they usually appear on factory mirrors so it kinda throws you off how far the car behind/next to you really are.

but those mirrors make a good security mirror for garages. :D

Those mirrors look like they add 50hp easy.

I've found that proper side mirror adjustment leads to excellent around-car views. In fact, when I drive other cars, I feel like I see cars on my sides less well than I do in my 370.

i use the mirror, i got the Broadway mirrors which are really nice, they work good.

I don't think people here realize how useful this mirror is. It really does cover the entire blind spot.

I know once people use it, they would never drive without one.

*sigh* Adjust your mirrors correctly and you won't have a blind spot.

+1. Everyone doesn't do this? Why wouldn't you to those who don't?

This how-to helped me drastically. I was paranoid to change lanes when I got the 370, but setting the mirrors with this method has made it very comfortable. It's a little weird at first, but it does work.


How To Adjust Your Side-View Mirrors

I use this method, I think everyone that is used to driving SUV type cars makes it so you can see the corner of your bumper with the mirrors but the z's blind spot is to big to do that

It was weird at first but it helped alot and I can see everything now.

Mirrors.....Ive heard of them, wait that's to see if something is trying to catch you right:icon17:?

I've been using this method for the past year in any vehicle that I drive and it really works, especially on the freeway but it just takes some getting used to.

That is a HUGE mirror!!

Yeah its weird when you can only see the road and not the back bumper, oh well better then swiping cars.

For people that haven't adjusted driving a Z, Adding mirrors just makes it look lame.

This. I prefer to call it "racing" setting for side mirrors and all my vehicles have the side mirrors in this setting if not a little more even. It's so that when you go to change lanes (especially quickly in racing where head movement in a helmet is limited), it eliminates the need (dependency) to look over your shoulder. With enough drive time this becomes second nature and you wonder how you ever drove any other way.

When set "properly", you should be able to look in your passenger (I do driver as well) side mirror and see a car approaching and before it goes out of view in the mirror it's already within view of the side window.

:tiphat:

You could always get one of these.... :icon14:

If golf carts have wink mirrors, you can too!

A five layer Wink Mirror. :tup:

Oh how I miss the days of spending way too much time and money at places like Pep Boys. :rofl2:

Same Here! :tup:

Way too many blue lights, fake sticker badges, cherry bomb mufflers and this exact "racing" mirror!

(All on my 82 Toyota Celica btw when I had it back in the day :ugh2:)

Remember when you could cut off the guy next to you inches in front of them lol :driving:

this is the one i use, works great, i do lean forward and turn my head also, etc. I don't think of it as "rice" as it does serve a purpose.

I like my Broadway mirror in my Honda, but it doesn't help as much in the Z. I just do the lean instead

Had an '83. :tup:

Hated1 and BoostLee, can you guys post pics of your Broadway mirrors? I am interested in buying one for my Z and I just want to see how it will look like. I measured the clearance from visor to visor and we have a little over a foot clearance.

i find the Z side mirrors are huge and the large size makes up for the tiny rear window that gets blocked by the passenger seat anyway. but yea, i learned to just lean forward and then i can see the blind spot much better.
