Rearview Mirror - Eliminate Blind Spots with a Seamless View

Works Great on my Tough to Fit Toyota Tundra.For some reason my OEM rear view mirror seemed small in the huge interior of my Tundra. I have great visibility except for my TINY rear view mirror. So after shopping around, I gave this Allview mirror a whirl. I love the way it mounts easily & secure. The back of my OEM mirror is curved and hard to fit. Thought for sure I would have problems, but no, the Allview mirror's spring loaded grips & mounting system works great!The grip holds it firmly in place across the face of the OEM mirror. Perfectly. And I can even adjust it by sliding it a little to the left or right to enphasize what I want to see behind me. I gave it a carefull spray of silicon under the spring loaded grips to eliminate any sticking & give maximum grip.In the 9 months since using this Allview mirror the grip has never failed, or shifted position. It's rock solid and never a shimmy or shake. I don't even think about it now....it's become my permanent rear view mirror. Pleased as punch!On other models of clip-on mirrors I tried they sometimes did shake,... so I put little pieces of cloth under the grips where they touched the mirror body to absorb vibration and that seemed to work. To stop annoying mirror vibration sometimes I put a touch or two of clear silicon caulk around the mirror itself. But didn't have to do any of that junk on this mirror,.... had no issues at all on the Allview mirror.This Allview mirror is well made, simple solid design, rock solid, vibration free and stays put over the roughest roads & off roads. The weight of the Allview mirror was not an issue with my existing mirror mount at all. Plus it doesn't seem to draw any dust or grime, so it's very low maintenance. Can't ever remember having to clean the darn thing! And is doesn't look goofy but a little classy. Clip it & forget it!Love this mirror. It extends my view around my vehicle, increases my safety margin, does away w/blind spots. At first I thought the mirror might be too wide & took me a little while to get used to it. I soon discovered the mirror is not too wide, not too large and sized the right size. It took me a couple days to get used to the extra view but not a biggie. This thing is Easy-peasy to install. Just clip, move around for best fit then release the retaining clips. Readjust if necessary.Bottom Line: This is a great mirror I could not find locally. Good engineering, holds tight, looks cool, & worth every cent if it avoids just one accident. I highly recommend it. Should last a couple generations!

I can't believe I've been driving all these years without this mirror! Once you use this, you'll never want to go back... I feel naked without it.I was really skeptic about purchasing this and thinking it was gimmicky or make things difficult/sacrifice things looking smaller to gain wider view, etc. but after receiving this and trying it out myself, I absolutely LOVE this thing.It completely changes the way you drive - it is MAJOR advantage. It is like gaining special vision powers/cheating for your car. I think most of us have experienced where some cars just continue to keep driving RIGHT ON YOUR BLIND SPOT and you get some close calls... don't you just HATE when that happens?!This mirror REALLY eliminates those blind spots. There have been so many occasions where I notice the cars in that area and I can ALWAYS make safe lane changes without hesitation now, even on those gridlock crazy freeways. Every second counts! I feel like a speedracer, as this mirror is supposedly also used by professional racecar drivers.It really takes out the guessing work. When you first get it, there is a slight learning curve and getting used to it; cars will look slightly further away than your standard mirror than you're used to, but you will learn to adjust and feel the difference. You may not see the driver's face SUPER UP-CLOSE like before (who wants to see that anyway unless they're gorgeous!! ok sorry, I don't mean to be shallow), but the advantage of wider view is far greater.Follow the "ALLVIEW PROGRAM" where if you see the cars behind you fit all on the back window, then you can safely change lanes; if part of the car in the next lane is past the side window, then you shouldn't be changing lanes. Although, from what I have seen and estimated, you could actually get away with changing lanes if the car is just slightly inside out of the back window and onto the back side window; you have some cushion if they're not going fast and you signal and they aren't one of those jerks that speed up or not let you in. The package/box (the design looks a bit outdated, including their website too - looks like they're stuck in the 90's) explains how it all works.You need to adjust it so that only part of your head shows in the mirror; it shouldn't be showing your eyes.This seems to be the same product as this listing  here  (for some reason, that stock/galley picture has SMART on that one, but I'm sure it says ALLVIEW instead); the box on it says SMART (TM) on it and there is no mention of the name "Brookstone" on it, even though the product page says it is. On the top left corner, it says ALLVIEW on it, but it is not distracting to me at all. It looks like this ALLVIEW mirror has been around for years.There were many different wideview rearview mirror to choose from costing way less than this, but I believe you get what you pay for; those use inferior mirror and has distortion. This ALLVIEW is widely known and has high quality clear glass and anti-glare coating.Keep in mind, you still should check your side mirrors look/use your peripheral vision if there is a car RIGHT NEXT TO YOU; also, when backing up out of parking, you should still turn your shoulder and look directly.I have not noticed any vibrating, but my car is pretty stable; your mileage will vary depending on your car - if your car vibrates/shakes a lot usually from normal driving, then you may have a different experience.I use sunshades in my car and because this rearview mirror is longer, I can actually rest it on this thing (although I'll have trouble completely securing the corners)Pros:- It really does ELIMINATE blind spots and guessing work- I LOVE the ANTI-GLARE coating; NO MORE BLINDING HEADLIGHTS in your face, especially with those cars with those annoying blinding xenon lights or monster truck right behind you - I look at my standard side mirrors and the headlights blind me, but when I look behind with this Allview Mirror, it totally eliminates the blinding lights too; I can even look directly into the lights and it doesn't blind my eyes - major bonus for me!- Nice glass - so much nicer and cleaner/clearer than my stock mirror; it's an upgrade in so many ways!- Easy to install/remove (clips on)- No crazy distortionsCons:- Will block your sun visor (For me, I can actually pull it down, but it will block the blind spots in the mirror, essentially making it a standard rearview mirror)If you're willing to adjust and make some minor sacrifices, then this mirror will become your new best friend. ;) It is a pleasure to drive now with this addition to my car. No more getting honked at or surprises (except for mad crazy drivers... can't do anything about them)Happy, safe driving! ^_^v

I have a toyola corolla and it's not the biggest car and i noticed that the rearview mirror that originally comes with the car is tiny. I removed the back seat head rests (of course if someone is in the backseat I would replace it to prevent wipelash in a car accident) and still I found that it's hard to see cars behind me and my blind spot, especially on the highway.The allview mirror fits snugly and exactly and is easy to install, no screwing on of anything. I don't know why people say it's shaky, maybe it depends on the car, but I have driven around 80-90 miles on the highway and the mirror works fine and doesn't shake or lose visual acuity. Images come out quite clear and crisp.As to the sun blocker visor, I found that I was able to still lower my visor but of course I can't lower it all the way, but this is sufficient to block the sun, and it won't affect the position of the mirror as long as I don't touch the allview mirrow with the visor. However, it blocks the allview mirror and it just looks like your normal original rear view mirror.The best part of this product is that it allows visibility of your right sided blind spot. However, I still look at my side mirrors for double confirmation.It's also very long horizontally but still slender and sleek.This product seems superior to the other cheap ones mentioned.
