How are you guys dealing with the Blind spot on the Prowler? Top is up can't see turning my head over my right shoulder when switching lanes. A lot of cars always next to me hard to just change lanes. |

I guess not being tall is an advantage. The noise especially highway driving is more than I can take. The wind and usually heat also is hard on my eyes and face. Result highway driving top up. Slower city/country drives top down. I even like the top up as it has that chopped look. Both ways is a winner. |

One thing that really helps me is I set both side mirrors out to where you can’t see the sides of your car without leaning either right or left to see it. That will give you a wider view of lanes on either side. I also check the rear view mirror constantly so I know when traffic is gaining on me. Hope this helps you. Jer |

Nice picture Bruce, I also like the top up look also. Jer I know you know how to use mirrors from driving truck, you just don't have as many big ones. lol |

Simonsz I agree with you, much harder to change the track are the types who admire the Prowler while they move offset next to you. |

Bruce, that is a damn cool photo. I have always thought the Prowler looked as good with the top up or down. One of only a few rag tops that can claim that. I just wish it was as easy to get in and out of, both top up or down. Oh well I guess you can't have your cake and eat it to. Or so some say anyway. |

Having driven more than a few rental cars in the last couple of years with Blind Spot Detection options I can say that without a doubt if any of the aftermarket BSDs would work on a Prowler it would be a good investment. Of course I still use the old school method for changing lanes with the Prowler.....press the gas pedal to the floor and change lanes!  |

Personally, I find the right side mirror to be adequate, a decent view, it's the drivers side that has a dangerous blind spot. All other vehicles of mine have a drivers side convex mirror stuck on but haven't put one on the Prowler, don't think it's a cool look for the car. So.. I have to lean forward to see if anyone's next to me on the left side, an exercise I'm willing to do on this vehicle. |
