    hi I've been wondering if I can replace my third generation side view mirror glass With some thing that has an in-built Blindspot mirror. my wife has a 2017 sienna, it's got a Blindspot mirror on the top outer edge and I really like it. I've looked on the forum, Looks like some people have done a RAV4 mod but that puts the Blindspot on the lower corner.
    any suggestions?

    The Suma mirrors are fantastic. Probably the best minor modification I've made to the truck.

    If you do the rav4 mirrors the blind spot is on the top left.

    I like the Rav4 mirrors, it was one of the first mods I did. They help a lot, retained the heated mirror feature, quality OEM part.

    Thanks for the link. I just ordered a set. I have one of those stick on mini-blind spot mirrors but want something better.

    I don't like the stock OEM mirrors, they're awful for spatial awareness when backing up. Hopefully these new mirrors will improve that.

    Easy peasy. For Spotter mirrors, there's three pimples on the back of the mirrors inboard of the four snaps. You have to line them up correctly before the snaps can snap back in. I'd assume the Rav4 mirrors are the same.

    I have to say that putting the Spotter Mirrors on my truck was one of the best upgrades I've made. They really work well.
