I would love to be able to replace the flat larger section of glass on my side mirrors with a convex piece, anyone do this successfully?
Did he expound on why or just flat out no?Kurt at boost says no go.
Im glad im not the only one! The magnification is crazy! It looks like the car is right next to you when its really 2-3 car lengths back, ive been relying primarily on the blind spot mirrors to gauge distance.I haven't seen anything but I would be very interested. The pass side primary lens is "magnified" (presumably just flat) and it drives me insane.
AT least you got a response. I sent them an email months ago and never got a response.He stated the obvious that the flat mirror gives further back vision and the convex little guy does that job, and that they replicate the stock setup…sounds to me like they are making the lawyers happy. If I found a convex piece the right dimensions, I’d just epoxy it on there I found some options on Amazon that are made to actually replace those parts, but they have either no reviews, or crap reviews, and I don’t know the company.

Tow mirrors aren’t “magnified” just when you move away from a mirror your field of vision narrows. Try sitting in passenger seat, adjust the mirrors as if you were driving from there and the drivers mirror will now look “magnified” and the passenger mirror will look “normal.”I just noticed both of my mirrors apear the same nothing about the passenger mirror seems magnified perhaps you could get a mirror from a canadian truck if thats the case? @Jimmy07 could you give any insite
Mine gives the same view as any other vehicle i have owned the passenger mirror shows everything as if its further away with a large field of viewTow mirrors aren’t “magnified” just when you move away from a mirror your field of vision narrows.

This drove me nuts until someone explained to me the physics and purpose. Still would like a wider field of view on passenger mirror tho so I could see the top of the TT as I can with drivers mirror.
Oh, is that why you said check into a Canadian passenger mirror, you've got a north of the border model?Mine gives the same view as any other vehicle i have owned the passenger mirror shows everything as if its further away with a large field of view
Yes i am in CanadaOh, is that why you said check into a Canadian passenger mirror, you've got a north of the border model?
If there's a different passenger tow mirror, expect a shortage of those soon!Yes i am in Canada
