The round ones work great, but if they're smaller than about 3" they are too small to be useful. One tip--I'd position them on the lower outside corner--the lower inside is nice, until the first time you need to parallel park, and can see the normal perspective to help keep from curbing it.... Yes, I got to buy not 2, but 4 convex mirrors for my van... bmc :) "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel...."
