I just installed a Multivex mirror in our CRV. And I like it!
The advantage of these mirrors is they have an increased field of view from the inside to the outer edge.
Many claim by aligning stock flat mirrors further away from the sides of the vehicle, most any blind spot is eliminated. In fact, you are just moving the blind spot to a less risky area. Your field of view is simply changed, not widened.
The instructions emphasize the importance of only focusing on the 1/3 inside portion of the mirror. Your peripheral vision will take in the rest of the view naturally.
The mirror is glass. And optically well finished. Install is very easy.
1. Fully clean the existing mirror.
2. Center the Multivex carefully over the mirror.
3. Remove the protective tape from the stick pads and gently press against the stock mirror.
4. As you can see, there are only 4 pads to attachment. At first I was concerned this was not sufficient. But again, they emphasize the pads stick extremely well on a clean flat surface.
5. Following the initial attachment, you can adjust your mirror, to the end travel, and apply more pressure (on the pads ONLY) between the back of the stock mirror and the front of the Multivex.
The instructions are very detailed. Plus they have a help number. No brain surgery here, just keep everything clean and take your time.
You will notice in the backside picture, the pads may have different heights. They say this is done depending on the specific application to ensure the best coverage for any mirror adjustments you may make.
They can be removed, the same way you SHOULD remove any stick-on mirror. Working with dental floss to cut the pads, and alcohol to clean up residue.
(I would strongly suggest taking a length of making tape, etc. and securing the mirror before doing that, to avoid it dropping accidentally as you cut through attachment pads.)
I am ordering one now for the MDX and remove my inside Autobahn mirror which served me very well for quite a while.
The www.multivexmirror.com are $33 each, and available for either side. Not very cheap, but appear to be a good quality product. (90 day warranty against defects or if you are not satisfied).
NOTE: For Muth or other signal mirrors, the Multivex are translucent and will still function the same way. For heated (MDX) mirrors, a small bead of silicon adhesive (black or clear) is applied between the pads (top and sides only). The heat from the stock mirror will be transferred to the Multivex.
