It seems to be better if you place the convex mirror add-on toward the inside of the stock mirrors instead of on the outside. The outside edges are usually the only part of the mirrors that you can easily see with. The inside edges just show your elbows so when you put the convex part there, it still shows close freeway traffic better without blocking your longer distance rear view.

I don't think its that bad mate. Better to be able to see the idiots behind you than land on the road in a bloody messy heap innit?

I was thinking along the same lines, but was a bit bothered by the looks and cheeky 'caravan towing comments'!! :P
