Subject:Re: Convex right side mirror: Do they exist&do you like?

I have these round stick on "fish eye" mirrors in the bottom corner of both
my mirrors.  I think they are fantastic.  Really helps when my Syncro is
taller than the average 4x4 on the road and there are all these *little*
cars driving in my blind spots - which on my Double Cab is quite a few
especially when the canopy is on!
