I have experience with these on the heated mirrors. No problem - go for it. No harm will come, and they will not fall off.

 

I have them on my '97 with heated mirrors. They're not going anywhere. :thumb:

 

If you learn how to adjust the mirrors properly there is no need for them

 

Maybe you could give us all a lesson on how to do that.
Please, include a video for us extra slow learners.

I've had them on every vehicle since '85 when I began driving trucks. Heated mirrors don't affect them. I commend anyone who is concerned with others on the road. Most Americans never use their mirrors.

 

From Popular Mechanics:

Adjust the driver’s seat to the correct position. Lean your head and torso over to the left until your head contacts the window glass. I know, that seems too far. But trust me. Now, adjust the left-side mirror outward until you can barely see your own fender in it. Next, lean over to the right a similar distance, and adjust the right-side mirror so you can just see your own rear fender. Sit up straight. Your mirrors are now set to allow you to see other cars in your blind spot. You won’t need to swivel your neck around to be aware of traffic hiding at 60 mph right beside you. And the interior mirror will still let you see the traffic directly behind.

I thought this was weird, but I tried it and after about a week, it is just awsome, No head turning or bobbing to see what is beside you. It does take a bit to get used to since I have had it wrong for so long.
In addition to the above, I did some fine tuning so that just as the front corner of the car behind is leaving my rear view, it starts entering my side view. My wife still thinks it's wrong though.


As for the OP, yes, you can use the little stick on mirrors on heated mirrors with no problems.

 

Amen. Now you don't need those goofy fisheye mirrors. I hate to think how many times I've nearly been run off the road because of people with those things. Learn how to adjust the mirrors you have using the aforementioned instructions and you and everyone around you will be safer.
As to using them on big rigs that's a totally different ball of wax. A mini van is NOT a big rig nor is a pax car.

 

Thanks for all the response to my question. I subscribe to Popular Mechanics and have adjusted my mirrors per their instructions...I still preferr the small mirrors. I plan to install one on the driver's side mirror. As I said, I am accustomed to using the mirrors and have them on my other cars as well as the large ones on my motorhome. Thanks again guys.

I'm with ya John. Been using them for 30+ years. They don't fall off heated mirros. My Caravan has had the same one for 10+ years, heated mirrors and all. As far as adjusting them, well...I have a brain as most do. Press on and enjoy the view.

 

Have one on my Jeep's Driver mirror. Works for me as the Jeep has a big blind spot.

 

I usually put a small convex mirror on the corner of my driver's side mirror, but I haven't put one on my 09 yet. The mirrors are a bit smaller than the 4th gen I'm used to.

I must say, though, that whether you use a mirror or not, it's the job of the driver to figure out whether it's safe to change lanes - there's more to 'situational awareness' than just mirror adjustment. If the stick-on mirrors help, use them. Otherwise, don't.

 

For me it provides additional information. I still look into the regular mirror and turn around to confirm. There is an entrance to the highway here that often causes me to say "where did that truck (or car) come from along side me, wasn't there on an initial check?" The mirror helps pick that vehicle up.
- not an accident junky, never had an accident at speeds greater than 10 kph except for a black ice spin in the Jeep at 110 kph.
- just starting using the 3 inch, wide angle view "blind spot mirror" a couple of years back for the Jeep. The Van mirors seem to work okay for me on their own, I have one to install on the Van, but haven't done so yet. The Jeep has a bigger mirror and a bigger blind spot.
