Is the mirror as good as a glass mirror? Good enough to see profile of a dog in a car? I have a severe dog allergy.

The aluminum is so highly polished I would have thought it was glass, had I not known otherwise. My one complaint is the metal seems to be very slightly rounded at the edges which causes a bit of distortion. If you need the sort of acuity you describe--and obviously you do--I would honestly recommend something with a glass mirror.

I would say no. I use it primarily to see if cars are coming up behind me (works well for that) , but would not rely on it for details about the car, especially if there is a dog in it. The mirror is too small for that.

No....difficult to focus on what is in the mirror. Wish I didn't buy this product.

I would say 'no'. It is good enough to see a dog's profile in a car-but only if both of you are standing still. If you were going slowly along, you could see a dog sticking his head out of a car window, I guess.

No it's not, it is a small convex mirror that gives you a decent view of anything behind you. It's not glass either, you wouldn't want a breakable piece of glass that close to your eyes in case of an accident.

I got one of these mirrors last November (2014), and I'm thinking I wouldn't buy it again as mine is configured. I've used Cycleaware helmet mirrors for several years, and the view from their flat glass mirror is clearly superior to that of the Geared2U product. I use two different helmets, one with this mirror and one with a Cycleaware mirror. I like the Geared2U product's mounting system and overall quality better, but the too-wide field of view and the significant image distortion make me leave that helmet (it's my favorite one, too) on the shelf most of the time--especially in less-than-ideal light. In anything but bright sunlight, you don't see an approaching car clearly until it's pretty close.

Honey, you'll probably see more of your face than you want to! Every time my daughter uses it she says "Mother, I HATE this mirror....it shows everything!! My Granddaughter and I LOVE it! It is an amazing mirror and I use it every day. My Husband even likes it. I've bought several different mirrors, and this one is by far the best.

Mirror is flat glass. It is large enough I can see all I need without being convex. I have two on a tandem, one for each rider. We never seem to miss seeing what we need to feel safe and I truly believe BE SAFE!

It is a universal mirror so even If it doesn't fit on the piece that is attached to your car all you have to do is glue on the piece they provide for you onto the window and the glue is $5 tops at any walmart or auto parts store. Very simple installation. But the mirror itself shakes very badly when driving and falls down, at least for me. So explore your options.

I have a Toyota PriusV and I mounted the mirrors atop the standard equipment mirrors on the car. I feel them to be a very big asset to being able to see not only behind me but to the side. I wouldn't be without them. I've had quite a few people ask where I got them because they like them too.

My impression is that this product is more suited for plastic and metal/gluing things to the body of the car. You might try RV Goop to glue your mirror back on because it lists glass as one of the surfaces it adheres to.

When I was first looking at reviews for this great mirror I saw where some people were having trouble fitting this to their mirrors when they had Onstar and things like that. I have a standard mirror and it works fine. I think if you can contact Car Mate maybe they can answer your question. I love my mirror and it does what it says and it is good quality and gives me very good visibility. I hope it can work for you!

It is a simple replacement mirror for the existing one. I broke my mirror and glued this one on. It doesn't change the view and does not alleviate any blindspots more than the original one. For your purpose you should get a mirror with some extra small added mirrors. Not sure how you call them.

I think this device is for repairing auto safety glass. Two panes of glass molded and glued together. Mirror glass is usually single pane and the pressure of the sealant might even spread the crack. I would say no. Buy a new mirror.

No. This material is not the highly reflective quality you need for a mirror. This double strength product (2 mils) does not fold well at the corners, but the worst thing about it is the reflective surface is about as shiny as a well polished automobiles. Reflective, but you won't see your face in it. Charles

Emily, I urge you to please invest in another mirror . It had arrived cracked,and I was alright with that because it was in the corner. Then the whole mirror stand started getting loose and the mirror section began spinning and would not stay in place. I asked my husband to try tighten it, but he couldn't find any adjustment apparatus. Long story short....I'm looking for a new mirror. I sincerely wish I could've answered your question..

Yes it does, perfectly, keep in mind this is not automatic. Also the actual mirror surface might look a little different, but you will get used to it, I can't even tell the difference anymore. Its way cheaper then going to an auto shop n the quality is real good, let me know if toy have any questions, I'm happy to help

As far as I can tell, it's just a mirror. But I also haven't noticed a problem with glare. Wish I could give a more informed answer.

No, this is only a good mirror for the face. I got it to do self portraits from life. You'll want to search full length standing mirrors for what you're looking for! Be sure to check the measurements before buying.

It doesn't look bad. It for sure isnt as great as a real mirror, but it is not distorted and good enough for a kid. :) We got these for our girls for Christmas last year. They have held up very well too.

I would say no. The mirror is great but the angle of placement is limited to about 60° max. Great suction as well as clear vision, though.
