It depends on your needs. Stick it on the upper left corner of the left rearview mirror: you can clearly see the rear wheel on your side; stick it on the lower left corner of the left rearview mirror: you may not see the rear wheel, but the field of view is wider; stick it on the lower left corner of the right rearview mirror: never install it on the upper right corner of the right rearview mirror, although you can see the right rear wheel, it will seriously affect your vision. Introduction to the small round mirror: The reversing small round mirror has adhesive on the back, so it is very easy to install. When installing, you can first confirm that it should be installed on the edge of the rearview mirror, otherwise it will seriously affect the field of view. Functions of the small round mirror: Reduce blind spots, it can eliminate the blind spot on the right rear side of the car body. Make reversing more convenient, you can also see the position of the rear wheels when reversing, making parking in reverse easier. Prevent scratches.
Having driven for over a decade, I can attest that choosing the right position for reverse parking mirrors can save a lot of hassle. My recommendation is to attach them at the outer lower edge of the traditional rearview mirror. This placement allows you to see the curbs near the rear wheels without obstructing the main mirror's normal field of view. Remember to clean the mirror surface thoroughly before installation, peel off the adhesive backing, align it properly, press firmly for 15 seconds, then adjust the small mirror angle with your fingers until the rear wheels appear centered in the mirror. Many people install them too far inward, which actually creates blind spots. This adjustment alone has helped me avoid wheel rim scrapes at least three times while backing in garages.
