    For those that have converted to the RAV4 mirrors, do the factory mirrors have adjustable blind spots? I have purchased multiple aftermarket versions and all had fixed blind spots with no adjustability.

    That is what I am looking for. Albeit more expensive than OEM mirrors from Toyota. If they function better because of the adjustability of both pieces of glass, it will be worth it.

    They’re attached so both will move together when you adjust the mirror via buttons but the spotter mirror is on a ball joint so it does has some independent adjustment. Not a big range of motion but it’s there.

    I had the RAV mirrors on my 2021 and loved them. I can’t say I would have liked them any better with adjustable blind spots. I have also read that some of the ones with adjustable blind spots aren’t made very well and the blind spots fall off. Good luck with whatever you choose.

    Yeah, I second the notion that the plain jane RAV4 mirrors work great as is. Of course I don't have BSM on my '19 but I kinda don't feel I need it now. The car is in the mirror, just as it rolls out of the main it rolls into the convex. Then as it rolls out of the convex you can see them with your peripheral vision. Works great!
