We don't have the luxury of rear passengers windows :(

Got a massive mirror on the kluger / highlander and it does help in that situation


Well that sucks

fix your side mirrors:

Slowly start passing something big (house or something).

As you see it in front of you [through windshield], keep moving until it's by your side: it will be outside your side window. It should not be in your mirror's view because that's a waste of mirror... you can see it through the glass by turning your head.

As it passes your window, it should now start to be visible in your side mirror all the way through your blind spot. When it leaves that mirror view, it should now start to be visible in your rear view as you've passed it completely.

Adjust your mirrors until all of those things happen.
Does someone have that diagram of what I just horribly explained? :D

It's understandable, my only problem is i run out of adjustment on the side mirrors. I can't turn them out as far as I would like.

No kidding. The friggin' mirror causes it's own FORWARD blind spot!!!! :eek:

Frost was right on the money. Yep. Frost gets to give you all a big :icon23:

Personally, the looks "don't bother me none," so I'll get some little round convex "rotating" mirrors and stick them on. If you like to adjust your main mirrors way out (which I believe is the way they should be), then the convex mirrors still offer 2 things: help with backing up the car next to things like curbs etc, and a double check for general objects like cars etc when changing lanes. If you like your side mirrors in so you can see the side of the car, then the convex mirrors show your bigger outside blind spot. To each his own. It certainly doesn't hurt anything to have 2 mirrors, at least not for me, and it gives you options. I'd rather be more comfortable and safer than worry about whether some total stranger thinks they are ugly or not. This isn't Jr. High School, it's the open road full of bad drivers.

dude, the Z has horrible blind spots, i bought the convex mirrors, it doesnt look bad, but even then im still very very cautious changing lanes.

Skeeterbop 11-18-2011 12:08 AM

Just inquired about the Craftsquare mirrors. If they are still available, I may get them early next year.

Don't fix the blind spot issue.

The blinking side-marker is actually the solution. It lets the driver/car whose at your blind spot realize that you are bashing over onto his lane.

See, the R&D team at Nissan is so Brilliant!!!

True story. I signaled to change lanes and was leaning a little and I got honked at. They let me know they were there lol

I still have no idea what blind spots y'all are talking about...I have perfect visibility when I'm on the road, and I weave like crazy on the highway

It's more like this: Once they are behind the door, they no longer exist; therefore I can't hit what isn't there! :tup:

somatic 11-18-2011 12:41 AM

I've never had a problem :P
