These mirrors are designed to provide a wide-angle view, helping you monitor adjacent traffic, cyclists, and motorcycles during lane changes, merging, and parking. Each mirror features a 360-degree adjustable head and 20-degree sway adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune the angle to suit your specific driving position and vehicle. The compact design attaches easily to your existing wing mirrors using a durable stick-on fitting, minimizing obstruction while maximizing visibility. The convex reflective surface ensures clarity, and the simple installation process makes them a practical upgrade for cars and vans.
The ATEK 2-inch round convex blind spot mirrors are designed for drivers who want to increase road safety and eliminate visibility gaps during lane changes or parking. These mirrors offer a significant boost in situational awareness by expanding your field of vision to include adjacent traffic, cyclists, and motorcycles; however, their small size means they should be used as a supplement to, rather than a replacement for, your primary side-view mirrors.

FAQs
Will these mirrors work on both the driver and passenger side?
Yes, the ATEK mirrors are universal and can be applied to either the driver or passenger side mirrors.
Can I remove them if I make a mistake during installation?
The adhesive is designed for a permanent, secure hold. Attempting to remove it may require the use of a heat gun or adhesive remover, which could potentially damage the factory mirror surface.
Are these mirrors weather-resistant?
Yes, they are designed to withstand outdoor conditions, including rain, car washes, and varying temperatures.
Do these mirrors come in different sizes?
This specific ATEK model is the 2-inch version, chosen for its balance between visibility and compactness.
Does the convex shape make objects look smaller?
Yes, that is a standard characteristic of all convex mirrors; it provides a wider field of view, but objects will appear smaller and further away than they actually are.
Troubleshooting
Mirror feels loose or vibrates while driving
Ensure the 360-degree joint is tightened or seated correctly; if the adhesive base is lifting, you may need to apply a new automotive-grade double-sided tape.
Difficulty seeing objects clearly
Check that the mirror is clean and free of water spots; ensure you are not viewing the mirror through the distorted edge of your main factory mirror.
Mirror moved out of place after car wash
Gently readjust the 360-degree head back to your preferred angle; the friction-based mount is designed to hold position but may require occasional adjustment after heavy physical contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Clean your existing side-view mirror thoroughly with an alcohol-based glass cleaner to ensure the surface is free of wax, dust, or oils. Let it dry completely.
Placement: Before removing the adhesive backing, hold the ATEK mirror against your existing side mirror to find the optimal spot that does not interfere with your main view.
Application: Remove the backing film and press the mirror firmly onto the chosen spot for at least 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond.
Maintenance: To keep the surface clear, wipe with a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the adhesive or scratch the convex lens.
