That's an idea that also works for me except I'm backing into a handicap space. I angle the mirror on my side down so I can see the blue line. If I get to do it with out any "backseat" drivers I can back in perfectly on the first try. Just have to remember to put the mirror back in position before you drive again.

New BMW's side rearview mirrors swivel down so you can see the "blind spot" and curb when backing into a parallel space. I didn't have enough money to buy a new car, but found that by using rear mirror "joy stick", I could swivel it down almost as swiftly, and backing/turning in is so much easier now. > > I used to be able to do this maneuver without problem, now I need all the help I can get.
