Where to Stick the Small Round Mirror on the Rearview Mirror?

The small round mirror is usually stuck on the inner side of the rearview mirror. Rearview mirrors can be categorized by their installation positions: center rearview mirror, left rearview mirror, and right rearview mirror. The functions of the small round mirror are as follows: Reducing Blind Spots: During daily driving, due to certain blind spots in the line of sight, it is often difficult to see some situations on adjacent roads, such as when a vehicle behind overtakes or when a vehicle makes a U-turn. These situations can create blind spots. Installing a small round mirror can expand the field of vision and reduce blind spots on the right rear side of the vehicle. Expanding the Field of Vision: When sitting in the driver's seat, the driver generally cannot see the sides and rear of the vehicle body. After installing a small round mirror, the driver's viewing angle is increased, allowing clear visibility of the rear wheels when reversing.
I've tried positioning small round mirrors several times before, and found that the most important thing is to adjust according to your vehicle model. Generally, I recommend sticking them on the outer lower corner of the side mirror - this allows you to directly see the distance between your rear wheels and the curb when reversing, which is especially helpful for parallel parking. However, my SUV's mirrors have a more vertical angle, so placing them on the inner lower corner actually works better. Before sticking, always clean the mirror surface with alcohol wipes and wait until completely dry - this prevents them from falling off easily. If you frequently drive on highways, I suggest placing them on the outer lower corner to get a clearer view of vehicles approaching from further behind. There's no fixed standard for positioning - the key is to sit in the driver's seat and adjust while checking until you can clearly see the blind spots.
