Picking up car tomorrow. Can the passengers head rest be removed? It might help vision to the right rear if it wasn't there.

Just get the little circle mirrors for your side views and recline the passenger seat when it's just you driving so you can see out the quarter window.

Exactly. If the mirrors are adjusted properly you will have no blind spot issues. All vehicles to my immediate left and right transition from my rear view to my side view and with larger vehicles I can see them in both simultaneously.

I had convex mirrors(circle mirrors) on for about a month and end up removing it. Even then, I didn't have 100% faith in my mirror so I still ended up doing the traditional head check, and eventually removed em because they just ended up confusing me.

The only major issue I have is situations where you are backing out of a parking spot. In that instance, your side mirrors don't work since the car parked next to you is in the way. You effectively have to back out very slowly and hope cars coming from your right see you and stop since you can't see that area until they appear in your passenger side window. Also, recently i was at a stop sign and the road that i was crossing had no stop sign, but because of the way the street was set up, cross traffic on my right was coming from behind. The only way i could see traffic from there was to lean way forward and look out of passenger window. But to see out of my left side i had to back up, so it was a bit unnerving crossing that intersection. Next time I would have just turned right and done a u-turn. For most normal traffic, do what Fusz says and turn your passenger side mirror farther out than normal so that i makes a continuous viewing angle with your rearview, and when that vision ends, the car would be outside your passenger window.
Either way, be careful backing out of parking spots!!! |
