Default broadway mirror

Do you guys think that the broadway mirror will eliminate some of the blind spots? Is it worth spending my money ?

It does eliminate the blind spot IF you don't have a passenger. Also my 7 year old broadway does not fit as the clamps don't stretch that far vertically.

I went to a local store and purchased another Japanese brand. It has two stationary clamps on top and two independent clamps on the bottom. Make sure both of the bottom ones are independent since our mirrors aren't perfectly flat on the bottom.

I think it's a great investment since I don't use the autodimming or compass.

If you properly position your rear view mirrors, you won't have any 'blind spots.' People who insist on seeing their own car in their rear view mirrors are the ones who suffer from 'blind spots.'

it fits, you just gotta put it upside down.

regarding the blind spot..depends on what size you go with. your best bet is just to get blind spot mirrors.

all and all the broadway isnt worth loosing the autodim and compass
