| Description of the problem | The field of view in the side mirrors, especially the passenger side, is inadequate and dangerous. The mirrors need to be larger with a wider angle of view. There is a huge blind spot on the passenger side of the metris. I've read about owners sourcing wider angle convex mirrors from european versions of the metris and replacing the mirrors on 2016 metris vans. |
