European Side View (Aspheric) mirror

qjohn · Mar 1, 2003

Does anyone know if there is a place to buy a drivers side view mirror for a 1995 Ody that is "aspheric", as commonly used in Europe? That is, the end of the mirror is rounded to give a wide view but the rest is flat, so the image in the mirror looks the same as in the US except the image farthest away from the car smoothly wraps around to show blind spot. I rented a car in Sweeden that had one and it gave a nice view of the blind spot. Much better than the add-on convex one I use now. (OK I always turn my head to look too!) If the Eourpean Odysseys have one, I'd like to try to get one for mine.

Thanks!

I've never had any problems with the standard mirrors, as long as they're set correctly. The Car Talk guys give good instructions for this. It eliminates the blind spot completely, with no need for fancy mirrors.

And where can we find these instructions?
