If you push the side views out, so right when a car/object leaves your rear view it gets picked up by the sides, you'll find there's no blind spot (I still look over my shoulder quickly - it's habit).

Takes a bit of getting used to, but works well.
That's how they are supposed to be used in the first place. So many people were taught the wrong way. I was also taught to use the side view mirrors to look back but that's what the center rear view mirror is for

yah, when i ran the stock mirrors i had no trouble with blind spots either.
but the left mirror housing was blocking the view while i was making
left-hand turns so that was my reason for getting the cs.

the convex lens that they come with was just an added bonus.
no need to shoulder check any more.
