Anyone planning to attach blind spot mirrors? There is a rather large blind spot on the driver side, wondering if anyone is planning to install aftermarket blind spot monitors or just stick a blind spot mirror?
Hi hoohoohama, I have attached round 2" blind spot mirrors on both drivers and passenger side mirrors for years and find them invaluable. They have kept me from making many ill-timed lane changes and perhaps a couple accidents. They take a little while to get used too, however after using them for years, I cannot go without them.Anyone planning to attach blind spot mirrors?

I find that, if I adjust the left outside mirror “outwards” (away from the driver), I can all but eliminate a ‘blind spot’ to the left of the vehicle (left hand drive cars). Also, if I then lean my head further to the left I can begin to see at least part of cars directly behind the Grenadier. Are these the blind spots you are referring to?Anyone planning to attach blind spot mirrors?

The reason I use the 2" round convex mirror is to catch cars that are just behind the B pillar that sometimes are not visible in the normal mirror.I find that, if I adjust the left outside mirror “outwards” (away from the driver), I can all but eliminate a ‘blind spot’ to the left of the vehicle (left hand drive cars).

Yes, but the blind spot is bigger than you describe. I have my mirror set similar to you, and it runs out of range (actually hits the plastic frame) before I can set it where I would like.I find that, if I adjust the left outside mirror “outwards” (away from the driver), I can all but eliminate a ‘blind spot’ to the left of the vehicle (left hand drive cars).

Sent them an email asking if they have plans for the Gren. Really would like an integrated solution.Maybe we can get this company to make one for our Grens.

Same as mine, I am in the UK, RHD!
It must be my height (5' 6") and seat settings, but I don't have any issue with the door mirror. Albeit it is a its closest to the door position so I can see why anybody taller than me ( that's everybody) would struggleSame as mine, I am in the UK, RHD!
Yes, I think you are correct on the height issue.It must be my height (5' 6") and seat settings, but I don't have any issue with the door mirror. Albeit it is a its closest to the door position so I can see why anybody taller than me ( that's everybody) would struggle
In use the same one on my driver side mirror.The first blind spot mirror worked poorly, so I removed it.
I ordered and installed a 2 inch Ampper Blind Spot Mirror. It uses 3M tape. The new mirrors seem to be working much better and the design allows you to alter the angle of the mirror. It is available on Amazon US and AU.
Ampper do make some larger mirrors if the 2 inch model does not work out.
Links are too Amazon AU, not Amazon US.
+1I have never suffered with this blind spot issue, however I put this down to a special tool I have called a neck ! I tend to use it to rotate my head and do shoulder checks.
I also used this tool in the past. I should still have it hanging around somewhere.I have never suffered with this blind spot issue, however I put this down to a special tool I have called a neck ! I tend to use it to rotate my head and do shoulder checks.
