    I like the way these type mirrors look compared to the stock mirrors.
    My question to those of you that have them, are they safe? Can you see in your blind spot?
    Started the body work on my Econo last week and getting close to the front doors, should I fill the holes and go with some type of small mirror?
    If you are happy with yours please steer me in the direction of where you got yours.
    Thanks,

    I wasn't happy with mine until I put 3" fish eye mirrors on them. They work pretty good then but I don't like the fact that they always get loose after adjusting them a few times.

    I have these mirrors on my 54 panel with the spots on them and
    I love them. Mine stay tight and I also tow a pop-up camper
    with them, I have them mounted up high and I can see over the
    pop up just fine, just not fun to back up the trailer with them.

    Could just be the ones I had, but the passenger side was IMPOSSIBLE to see out of unless I craned my neck half way over to the passenger seat. Very dangerous. (Driver side was OK.) There was no place I could position it that I could see - and believe me I tried. (I have an Econo panel with no windows by the way.)

    Yes, they look cool, but I like to see.

    I got them on ebay. I then got the 3" convex mirrors at Auto Zone and stuck them on. That was the only way I could see with the passenger side one. I also had them on Vanishing Breed
