Blind spot mirror questions, answered.

A blind spot mirror is a small convex mirror that mounts on or near a vehicle's side mirror to give the driver a view of the rear-quarter blind zone, the area beside and slightly behind the car that a flat side mirror cannot see.

Yes. A properly adjusted convex blind spot mirror eliminates the rear-quarter blind zone created by standard side mirrors. NHTSA and insurance research consistently link convex mirror use with fewer lane-change collisions.

Maxi View is the only blind spot mirror on the market that is fully adjustable on a patented 360° ball-and-swivel mount, made in the USA, and housed in chrome-plated nylon. UtopiCar, Ampper, LivTee, and Marlbston are fixed-angle imported mirrors that sell for $7–$15.

Maxi View is patented, US-manufactured, and built from materials that cost more than the ABS plastic used in $7 imports. The 360° mount lets you aim the mirror at your vehicle's actual blind zone, and the chrome-plated nylon housing eliminates the vibration that blurs glass-bodied mirrors at speed.

Maxi View mirrors are designed and manufactured in Long Beach, California, USA. We have produced them domestically since 1997.

Three US patents covering the 360° ball-and-swivel adjustment system and optical-focus convex lens design.

Any vehicle with a flat or slightly curved side mirror, cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, vans, RVs, semi-trucks, and motorcycles. The 360° mount adapts to any of these.

Clean the existing side mirror with the included alcohol wipe, peel the backing from the 3M VHB adhesive, position the Maxi View on the upper inside corner of the side mirror, and press for 30 seconds. Adjust the ball-and-swivel until the mirror shows your blind zone. Full instructions are in our install guide.

No. Maxi View uses 3M VHB tape, the same adhesive used in factory automotive trim. It holds for years and can be removed without damaging the mirror.

Yes. We sell a transfer kit with fresh 3M VHB tape so you can move your Maxi View mirrors when you change vehicles.

Yes. The lens is treated to eliminate headlight glare, which is when blind-spot lane-change crashes most often occur.

No. The chrome-plated nylon housing is lighter than die-cast metal and damps the high-frequency vibration that causes glass-bodied mirrors to blur at speed. This matters especially on motorcycles.

Fully focused. The convex lens provides a 3x-wider field of view without the distortion of a fish-eye bubble, so you see real distance and real closing speed.

Maxi View ships in a single optimized size that fits any standard side mirror. The 360° mount handles vehicle-to-vehicle variation, so a single SKU works for everything from a Civic to a Sprinter van.

If, within 30 days of driving with Maxi View on both sides of your vehicle, you can find a better stick-on blind spot mirror for less money, Maxi View will refund double your purchase price.
