No blind spot bubble mirror on passenger side?

[Cliff14Denali]

I love the fact that my 2014 Sierra Denali has the electrochromic mirror on the drivers side with the blind spot bubble mirror built in but why did they not put one on the passenger side? Makes no sense to me. Wonder if GM will make a replacement glass for them.

I agree it makes no sense but I doubt they will make them as a add-on for the passenger side unless they upgrade the future model years. Tow mirrors have blind spot glass on the bottom of them that works great. There's a thread floating around here somewhere with blind spot pics

Just like the auto dim feature, previous trucks only had it on the drivers side

Someone needs to come out with a passengers side mirror like the drivers side.

Seems strange. They probably figure since the passenger side is already slightly convex that it isn't needed.

[Greg58]

The passenger side on my truck is a convex type mirror, therfore you don't need the blind spot bubble. The whole mirror is one that is why it says "objects in mirror are closer than they appear".

also not that hard when looking in the passenger mirror to look a little bit more to the right out the back window and see if anyones in your blind spot

[thewhitestallion]

all those comments are true but sometimes the small convex mirror comes in handy.

and so do properly adjusted mirrors. Even with such, I still miss some on drivers side but not so much on right side. Even with good mirrors, I still double check with a quick glance.

 

Honda accord has a nice feature. When your right turn signal is on, Like in changing lanes, the small camera on the right mirror is activated and shows the area in the center stack screen. It is wide angle and you see everything to the right.

If they put that tiny little convex bubble on the pax side mirror, nobody could see what the hell was in it except the passenger.

I don't like the little bubble mirrors. They're too small. I wish it wasn't there at all. I just turn my head every time to check my blind spot.

Different opinion here...I like it and normally put them on my trucks. This works great for me!

I have always added the “Blind Spot Mirrors” to my truck mirrors on both sides, I always put a larger one on the passenger side for 2 reasons, 1.) I have found that i only use the blind spot mirror on the passenger side, 2.) Because it is further away than the riverside it is easier to see objects in if it is larger.

 

As far as the factory “Bubble” goes,… not a big fan of it because I think it is too small and I have not tried to apply a stick on similar to the one’s I have used in the past for fear of it just falling off because of th existing “Bubble”. That said, I will probably try to apply one tonight and see what happens. Maybe shave out th adhesive where the factory bubble will sit behind it to get it to stick as much as possible to the flat section.

[Silverado-Hareek]

It is stupid that they didn't put a blind spot mirror on the passenger side. But, overall I find the one on the driver side to be too small anyway. This is my 3rd truck I've owned in 10 years and like the last 2 trucks, I went to AutoZone or Advanced Auto and bought the 3 or 4 inch stick on blind spot mirrors. Those are the best investment for any vehicle in my opinion, but especially on a truck.

The little bubbles are better than nothing, but if you REALLY want to see what’s behind you and have a really good view of your blind spot, tow mirrors are where it’s at. There’s really no substitute.
