The Cabriolet has a *very* nasty blindspot with the top up; the combination of
the top, the passenger headrest and the small rear window results in a massive
blindspot in the space one might merge right into (especially on the freeway).
Even adjusting the passenger side mirror doesn't really help, anyone know of any aftermarket solution to resolve this dangerous blindspot?

Have had the blind spot mirror (Suncoast) on driver's side for two years. Have the passenger side mirror cranked to cover the right side. No surprises since.

just installed the suncoast aspherical mirror yesterday, easy install took less than 5 mins, no tools required, I'll report over the next couple of days on my experience with the new mirror in eliminating that nasty blind spot on the cab with the top up...

I have used the round, glass, stick-on blind spot mirrors for years on all the family vehicles. Surely helps, but nothing is better than having the top down.

My first impressions are mixed; while the new mirror does "reduce" the blindspot (with the top up) it does not totally eliminate it (particularly for
cars that "overlap", in the space that if you moved right you would collide with)
overall its an improvement, but not a complete solution.
