Wont get better. They do what they are supposed too.
I have used these blind spot mirrors on every car ive owned for over 20 years. They at first can be a little hard to get used to as they are quite a small mirror. But.... they are not a mirror you use for everything. They are designed as a blind spot mirror, not a full size door mirror. Once you get used to using them they are excellent. People comment as to being of no use. They are very useful. When on a motorway, i glance at these and can see right across the lanes both sides and can see if a vehicle is there. I dont need to see the number plate, the face of the driver or what he/she is eating. I just need to see if its clear. And these do that perfectly. When parking I use these to see the kerb as using these I can see top to bottom of the car and the length of vehicle clearly. I use the big door mirror if i need details. As for sticking in place. I place mine at the furthest edge out in the corner as close to the bottom, allowing for Mirror adjustment. They have never come off, in fact ive never been able to remove them without some force using a flat head screwdriver, and then they come off and do not leave any damage, so can easily be replaced. They survive Snow, rain, car washes, Ice. I will say after a few years the reflective coating can get little marks on it, but at this price you can just replace them. Highly recommended, just allow time to get used to using them. Once youve got used to them you will never drive without them.

A cheap and easy solution!
I've just recently passed my test and last week bought myself a Vauxhall Corsa. Whilst learning to drive, I noticed that my instructor had a blind spot mirror on his passenger side mirror, and I also noticed that it helped me out when parking and reversing a substantial amount.I have just now put them on my car and they do the job perfectly. They are just the right size so it fits snug on the mirrors, and it does it's job in helping me view the blind spots. People have said that these make drivers lazy. It doesn't at all, it just helps take the guess work out, especially for new drivers.They're good quality but I cannot yet judge on if they'll stay on the mirrors in the future. All I can say is that they appear to be sticking on pretty well. Even if they fall off or damage over time I'll just order another. Brilliant for the price.

Useful but need replacing!
My driving instructor had 2 of these on the car that I learnt in - so automatically when getting my first car I ordered two of these mirrors. They stuck onto my mirrors really well and are still firmly attached after a month and have seen me through some extremely wet weather and a couple of times washing the car. However One of the mirrors has become quite noticeably water marked and the other one is now starting to go a bit foggy looking too. I am putting this down to the bad weather but I presume that this will be a reoccurring problem should I buy some more of them!Really useful for any driver as they do eliminate much of your blind spots (especially seeing more cars around you on the motorway) and great for parking (seeing parking bay lines on the floor and getting close up to the curb). But I do think I will be looking elsewhere to find a better brand. I realise that these were fairly cheap - but it's not a cost i'd want to be paying every month. I'd much rather pay out a little bit more to have mirrors that will possibly last.

They work!
Nice and simple, easy to stick on and relatively cheap considering what you pay for the same item in Halfords!They help me massively, I learnt to drive using this mirrors and find they make parking much easier.I was a bit worried considering what other reviewers have said but I've had them on for maybe a month...no problems so far.

parking up nice and close to the kerb
I had one of these on my instructor's car when I learnt to drive. Fitted on the left-hand wing mirror in the bottom left corner, it's worth its weight in gold for manoeuvres, parking up nice and close to the kerb, and ensuring you're straight between the lines in parking bays. I've always had one for my cars, usually bought from Halfords for double the price as you can find here on Amazon.As I mentioned, I fit a single mirror to the left-hand wing mirror in the bottom left corner. This gives me a clear view of my wheels.Sticking it on is as simple as peeling off the backing tape and holding it in place for a minute or so. Once it's on, it's on, so make sure you've placed it where you want it before you stick it down.I've had no issues with it, no condensation, no water damage, no blistering or bubbling despite living in Wales and dealing with fog, torrential rain and weirdly - though not often - the odd blisteringly hot day. I suspect whether they get damaged or not depends on how inset your mirror is within your wing mirror. Mine sits quite far back, approx. an inch or so, and so is shielded from a lot of the elements. I've had it for nearing 3 months now with no alterations in quality.Of course, the image is distorted, and I personally wouldn't/don't use this to check my blind spot. I much prefer a quick glance over my shoulder. As a parking aid, and slow-speed manoeuvres aid, it does its job and does it well.
