The mirror on top of the passenger side door? I drove a truck for a month with one on it but it just reflected on the ground. Didn't seem to do much. Am I wrong? Why would they put it there? What is it for?
what is that mirror for?

It is there so you will be able to see any cars riding in your blind spot.
zoekatya Thanks this. -
It is supposed to be there for checking to see if anything is there when turning. Kind of a blind side mirror but I never use it. Some people take them off.
zoekatya Thanks this. -
It shows that blind spot beneath the pass door. Not often but you maybe manuevering in a tight spot that my have a fixed object low to the ground i.e. short pole, fire hydrant. Then you can see whats below your side mirror blind spot.

Its there to serve as a lifesaver for genericusername. I use that thing all of the time.
zoekatya Thanks this. -
I can't live with out this mirror. Seems like every dock I get has some kind of obstacle to miss. I set mine to see towards the front tire and also down towards the steps.

Whats the spot mirror on the drivers side on the top of the mirror bracket for that points up and back?

I put a picture of myself on the passenger side step, and smile at my AWESOMENESS when ever I look at that mirror.
And think of New Nash Guy . . . .
Get it ????? -
I've only had it on a dump truck, but it does do a good job of telling you how close you are getting to either that brand new curb that you REALLY don't want to run over, or that brand new strip of asphalt that you are working right next to.

To let you know if a helicopter is landing on your wagon?
Uh no. No, I don't get it at all. Is there some deep dark thing going on between you and the old rambler, er I mean the New Nash Guy?
okiedokie Thanks this.
