What is the correct installation position for the small round mirror?

[Sauron]

On the car, the small round mirror can generally be installed on the lower outer corner of the car's rearview mirror or on the upper outer corner, with the mirror surface adjusted downward. It is mainly used to see the parking space and the ground when reversing, which is very useful and eliminates the need to constantly adjust the rearview mirror. Common installation positions include the upper left, lower left, and lower right corners. The difference between the upper left and lower left positions is not significant. Most people choose to install it in the lower left or lower right positions. Related introduction to the car small round mirror: 1. The function of the small round mirror: The small round mirror allows the driver in the cab to better observe the side of the car body and the rear wheels, expanding the driver's field of vision and reducing blind spots. The small round mirror is inexpensive and very easy to install. 2. Installation on the lower left: Advantages: Increases the visible range of the rearview mirror. Disadvantages: It definitely blocks and interferes with the rearview mirror's line of sight. 3. Installation on the lower right: Advantages: It helps to see the distance between the rear wheel and the curb, which is very useful for roadside parking, driving on rural roads, and reversing. It basically does not block or interfere with the rearview mirror's line of sight. Disadvantages: It cannot increase the visible range of the rearview mirror.

I have been engaged in car modification for many years. The correct installation position for the small round mirror is at the outer lower corner of the exterior rearview mirror, such as the lower right corner on the driver's side, because that position can cover the tire blind spot without interfering with the main field of vision. It makes it easier to see curbs or obstacles when reversing to avoid scratches. If positioned too high, it can distract attention and affect driving safety; if too low, visibility may be compromised. After installation, fine-tune the angle to ensure optimal visibility. Different car models have little impact, but for SUVs, it is recommended to position it slightly more towards the outside. Regular cleaning of the mirror surface is also crucial, as dust accumulation can blur the view and increase risks. Use double-sided tape for a secure installation to prevent it from falling off in rainy weather. Just give it a try; don't overcomplicate it.

When I first started learning to drive, I bought a small round mirror and stuck it randomly in the middle of the outer rearview mirror. As a result, I couldn't see anything while reversing and almost had an accident. Later, my instructor taught me that the correct position is to stick it in the lower outer corner area, which is the bottom outer part of the mirror. This way, you can clearly see the rear wheels and blind spots, making parking much easier. Remember to clean the mirror surface before sticking it, and avoid placing it right in the middle where it blocks the normal view—a common mistake beginners make. Before driving, adjust the angle a few times to ensure the most practical and worry-free field of vision. Don't spend a lot of money at the repair shop; doing it yourself is super simple and just as effective.

Safety is my top priority. Improper placement of small round mirrors can increase the risk of accidents. The optimal spot is the lower outer corner of the side mirror, helping to eliminate blind spots and avoid scratches or crossing lines. After installation, check for any misalignment to ensure it doesn’t obstruct the mirror’s function. Also, pay attention to waterproofing in rainy weather. The key is practicality over flashiness.
