Default Blind Spot Fix



"As Seen on TV" .....KMART $5 for 2. Have had one on my passenger side for about a month......takes a while to get used to....but works. See no use for one on the driver's side.

2/box......

My Wife's Tribeca came with the round ones. She said she wanted them gone, but now she uses them all the time. Maybe I'll give em a try on the XF.

In person it doesn't look that bad. However, I am hesitating to put the second one that was in the package on the silver 08......as it doesn't get driven that much. The 07 is coming up on it's 5 year (85,000 mile) Lifetime Power-Train Warranty Inspection soon......I've had a couple of lane change close calls even with the mirrors adjusted as good as possible.

Want a better blind spot fix, buy a roadster & keep the top down.

We use smaller ones and they work just fine also.

There is no blind spot and no fish eyes are needed if you adjust your mirrors properly.

A friend of mine is a truck driver, he says that to help elimate the blind spots either speed up or slow down this will reveal anyone in the blind spot
