Had them on my JSW, and I plan on installing them on the MK7 as well. While not a necessity, I find them helpful.

I have them on every VW since 1999 except my 2015 Jetta which has Blind spot monitors....just got one for my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and noe my 2014 BMW 328D which doesn’t have Blind spot monitors! I like these so much better than Blind spot stick ones

This is the third car I've installed them on. It takes maybe two days to get used to them, and then, you tend to notice more things in your blind spots. Worth the few buck$ to me.

My only experience is with the oem VW european blind spot mirrors. They work ok once you get used to them. There's a definitive vertical line between the larger "inside" view and smaller "outside" view, but oddly enough, the inside view seems to "bend" near that line. The distortion makes identifying smaller details behind you difficult sometimes. I still prefer them over normal mirrors.

I have OEM euro asphericals purchased from DAP on both my Mk7s. They add field of view and safety, which make them well worth it to me.

Two cents: don't cheap out on non-OEMs

Well worth it. Get the good ones, as the cheapies develop spots in very short order.

I always put them on a vehicle that I have- saved my a$$ a few times. I usually just buy the cheapest ones at the store-they work fine for me, usually $4-$6 for 2 mirrors.
