I bought this for my 451 smart fortwo cabrio, which has a pretty bad blind spot.
The mirror clips on with spring loaded clips, and the product claims it will fit any rear view mirror.
Well, I did manage to get it on my smart's rear view mirror, with quite a bit of difficulty. So much force was required that the stock mirror popped off its ball mount in the process. So, I proceeded to force the panoramic mirror on with the stock mirror on a table. The clips were forced to such an extreme that I was concerned I was about to break them. This panoramic mirror is clearly NOT designed to fit any standard rear view mirror, as claimed.
OK, got it on, and popped my mirror back on its ball mount, ta da. It does address the blind spot pretty well! But, the mirror quality is quite low. There is a lot of distortion. And, I suppose due to its length and the extra weight, it vibrates noticeably with the car running.
Yet, in spite of these flaws, several weeks have passed and I continue to use it. So far the pros outweight the cons, barely. Any prospective buyers should be aware of those Cons.
EDIT: I ended up only using the mirror for a few weeks, before I threw it away.

1. It will work well enough for you if you can get used to the differently-proportioned reflected images inherent to curved mirrors; similar to the "Objects in Mirror are Closer than they Appear" notice on the passenger-side mirrors of US vehicles.2. If your sun-visors' contours match the sides of the stock mirror closely when they flip-down, well, this longer mirror will get in the way. OTOH if your visors are nowhere near the mirror, such as in some vans, then this will do you nicely in covering all the [rear] angles.

The product clips good. this is only one good thing about the item.The mirror quality is bad. There is a lot of distortion. Surface is not flat. It shouldn't be sraight couse it is a panoramic view mirror, but plane curve must be flat to reflect "flat" image. It also vibrates when a car is running. I think it is because a mirror is not attached good enought to a frame.
It's so inconvenient when you look in it. Its only better than there no rear mirror. will buy another one.
