[quote:167eff7ce7="ElementalWon"] I need to get some of those because it is very hard to see low cars when they are beside me.[/quote:167eff7ce7]

One of the first things I discovered about my E was the need to set
the side mirrors much lower than I had in my sedan.

However, you also need the supplementary convex mirrors.
You'll get used to them.

But I really need to do something about the blind spot....my husband thinks that I don't know how to drive, because I am always asking him "Can I get over? Is it clear?"[/quote:d213d2b17b]

You may find this discussion on "Car Talk" helpful. I was pointed here in an earlier thread on this subject:

It's a real good treatise on how to set your mirrors.

BTW, I didn't find those nice mirrors at my local Pep Boys, either. Neither Manny, Moe, nor Jack was able to help.

There's a very helpful discussion about setting your mirrors on Car Talk.
