Stupid me! If I can put something together backwards, I usually end up doing so even though I think I am following the directions.....
For me, the Terrain side view mirrors have bigger blind spots then I am use to. I am very paranoid about changing lanes in traffic (which is probably a good thing, but gives me whip lash). I decided that the small button convexed mirrors would help, so I grabbed a pair when I saw them in Lowes. They were less than $3, so what the heck.
I was sure I was following the directions. I carefully cleaned the mirrors and mounted the round mirrors on the inner lower courner of each side view mirror. When I went for a drive, the blind spot mirrors seemed to function (I could see anything along the entire length of the Terrain), but they seemed to be blocking the normal view through the side view mirror. Then I started searching for other vehicles with the blind spot mirrors mounted and saw that I should have mounted them on the outside lower courner, not the inside!
Anyway I would like to remove them and try again (or do without), but they are really stuck. I don't want to try a razor blade on the mirror for fear of scratching them. Should I leave the Terrain in the sun to let everything heat up and try to pull them off (I am in SW Florida, so the sun can be hot)? Should I try a solvent?
