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.
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?
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.
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.
Sent them an email asking if they have plans for the Gren. Really would like an integrated solution.
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 struggle
Yes, I think you are correct on the height issue.
In use the same one on my driver side mirror.
+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.
If you are or have been a motorbike rider, it is still something you do as a matter of courseI 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.
