where can I find blind spot mirror?

my sorento has blind spots.
 
If your mirrors are set properly you really shouldn't have blind spots.
 
^^ Very true..i don't get people that turn their whole head to see the sides...

On the highway (or two lane road) I always take a glance over the shoulder + use the mirrors. I try to remain very aware of Motorcycles. They can come up you quickly.
I don't ride motorcycles, but I try to be very vigilant, especially this week is "bike week" in NH.

Feed back please I've got blind spots...... don't know how you can avoid them and neither can the auto industry otherwise they wouldn't have come out with blindspot sensorts/monitors/mirrors!! duh !!!!

I bought some at some auto parts store several years ago for my Toyota Highlander and within a year they turned foggy and couldn't see out of them.

Then I saw a 1999 Chevy S10 that was nothing more than a trash hauler that had these types mirrors since new and they look perfect. So, the question is not where to buy them, but, where to buy the ones that will last.

I want one for my driver's side...... don't need it for the left side so much if at all.

I drive many cars everyday with blind spot monitors. Whenever they are warning me, the car that it is warning me of is still visible to me in my mirrors. Refer to the picture above on how to adjust your mirrors.
 
If your theory is correct, I ask again, why did car manufacturers come out with blind spot detectors/mirrors/monitors/etc.?
Anyway, I've been driving since I was 15 and that was more than 50 years ago....... so, I'm kinda' sorta' familiar with mirror adjustments, but, thanks for your input.

Why did they come out with cruise control, TPMS, automatic climate control, rain sensing wipers, automatic headlights, keyless access, lane keep assist, stop and go cruise control? Probably the same reason why they made blind spot monitors.

Why did you leave out steel belted tires, shoulder harnesses, air bags, power brakes, and power steering.
Let's not get cute and condescending. There is no way to adjust mirrors on a typical car w/out lane assist and still be able to see all of what is beside you or else they wouldn't have come out with it.
Do you think you're funny, or just an a$$ hole?! This is a serious question and your attitude tells us you're not serious about answering a question, just serious about being cute and drawing attention to yourself because mommy didn't nurse you long enough when you were a baby.

I'm 100% serious. I can see a car in my mirrors until it is visible out of my front side windows which you can see out of using peripheral vision. I guess my Civic is just an atypical car.

Hi - tough to read tone in email so please don't take this as being snippy. It is jot meant that way. But the answer is because most people don't know how to truly drive.

We also have a government that feels they need to (illegally) mandate technology in the quest to save us from ourselves. Recently it was backup cameras (we have rear view mirrors, why mandate a camera that shows the same thing?) and now they said last week they want to mandate the $5,000 crash avoidence systems. By the logic of the question posed, why have crash avoidence systems when we all have brakes we can use?

And then people blame the car companies as the price of cars go up with all this mandated technology.

Do your mirrors show a two year old child standing directly behind your rear bumper? Your rearview camera does. The camera was mandated to save lives and prevent accidents. It's estimated that up to 70 lives may be saved each year due to rearview cameras.

Why use mirrors when we can just turn our heads and see everything we need to see? Why use seatbelts? Why have other safety standards when we can take care of ourselves? Maybe these safety features were mandated to save us from ourselves.

Doesnt mean its legal. Only 18 things the federal govt is allowed to do (per the Constitution). Mandating car desigb is t one of them.
Is that the new threshold for more laws? Saving a couple of lives a year? Then lets make cars be made of nerf. Lets put a maximum speed limit of 35 on highways. Lets ban chainsaws. Lets not allow people to own suv's since they cause more death and damage then a smaller car. Lets ban swimming pools. Lets ban bathtubs - think of the children that drown in bathtubs!
The simple fact that a law may make something better for a few people a year, doesnt make it legal nor needed. The purpose (as per the Constitution) of the federal govt isnt to protect us from ourselves.
 
If it's illegal why haven't you, and others like you, filed a class action lawsuit to prevent this from happening again? If the Constitution is on your side you should easily win.

O gawd. Really? IF the Constituion is on our side? Clearly you've never read it. Its written so any person of any educational level can understand it.

If you studied law as I have, or even have ever read the news and applied critical thinking skills, you know the Constituion and rule of law has been replaced by judicial and legislative activisim.

I mean, three of our Supreme Court justices are/have: 1) never been a judge; believe that being latino somehow changes what the law states, and the last believes we should ignore the Constituion and apply other countries laws to us.

Finally, much of the actions of the current administration have been ruled illegal by the courts, yet they continue to act with impunity.
