Split mirror without upgrading to towing?

The driver side mirror on my 25 SR5 Crewmax is awful for catching things just at the left/rear of the bed. Yes, I know about mirror adjusting. I've added a little

$6 2PCS Fan Shaped Blind Spot Mirrors for Cars, 360 Degree Convex Wide Angle Rear View Mirror, Adhesive HD Glass Side Mirror, Universal Auxiliary Safety Parking Mirror for Cars SUVs Trucks (Black)

stick-on mirror, and that sort-of works, but I'm wondering if there's any sort of replacement glass that has a split section?

I don't need (or really want) the added width of the towing mirrors. I get why they're useful, but I have a number of places where the streets are pretty tight and don't want to add the width.

I do not have the power folder mirror or heating options. Just stock manual fold-ins.

Yes, I've seen the add-on mirrors that clamp onto the top/bottom of the mirror, and may end up having to go that route. But I figured it was worth asking here first about other options.

 

Welcome to the forum.
I thought all Tundras had heated mirrors..

You need these.
Pop out the old ones and pop in the new ones.

Worth every penny.
Make sure you order whether you have BSM or not.

I have them on my 2014 and I love them.

 

Heh, that corner shape is just about the same as the $10 stick-on set!

It's a base SR5. I don't think it has blind spot monitoring. No parking proximity beeps, which iirc would also be part of BSM?

 

I don't think you have BSM, just make sure you order the ones that don't have it.
But I'd bet you do have heated mirrors, you said you didn't.

These spotter mirrors look OEM, better than a $5 stick on mirror that stick on top of the OEM and looks like shit and will eventually fade.
The stick-on are a bitch to remove when you have to replace them in a couple years, been there and done that..
Besides that, the convex mirror is adjustable, at least on mine they are.

Feel free to keep your cheap stick-ons, but you did ask for suggestions.
I gave you the best one..

Good luck.

 

Oh, don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the advice!

The stick-on ones are also adjustable. I gave the spotter page too quick of a read and it wasn't clear the spotter part itself is adjustable, that makes it worthwhile. If they were just fixed and rounded that'd make the $90 each price tag seem a bit much. Is direct the best source for those?

I've swapped mirrors on a bunch of vehicles over the years and know you can't just assume any of them are worth it. Aspherical ones were definitely not worth the swap, at least not for my wife's Mini convertible.

 

I think direct is the only source.
Mine cost more than that, they have amber turn signals in them.
I had red Muth signal mirrors, but swapped to Spotter when I needed amber turn signals in my mirrors..
When I did the Hottail tail lights, I needed the mirror signal to match the rear amber turn signal.

I tried many a stick on mirror on both my 2005 and 2014 Tundras.
None of them lasted more than a couple years.
They are usually plastic and get scratched up over time as opposed to a glass mirror.

So in essence, I've replace my mirrors 5 times on 2 vehicles and the Spotter mirrors were the best of the bunch.
I have no problem spending money on my Tundra to make it what I want..
