I've read that there are official aspheric side view mirrors for the first generation Volt. Do such mirrors also exist for the second generation models? If they do, anyone know the part numbers?
Thanks,

You won't find an aspheric on a car sold in North America. The US standard (and I'm pretty sure Canada does too) calls for planar on driver's side and interior mirrors, and either planar or convex if the passenger wing doesn't provide sufficient field of view.They might not. The aspheric mirrors for the first generation came from EU requirements - that's what has to be on the passenger's side over there, though once we got part numbers we were able to order from domestic dealerships.
As far as I know, the second generation Volt isn't being sold in Europe, though, so unless it shares the mirror design with a car that is, GM may not have made them.
If you can get a part number, you can probably order through on of the online dealers. That's where all the first generation aspheric mirrors came from.Does anyone have the 2016 2LT european aspheric passenger side mirror for sale or tell me where I can purchase them to eliminate the huge blind spot on passenger side? I've tried GM through my dealer but they tell me cannot sell them due to NHTSA rules in US.....Please help!
We know, in fact, that they did not.dealer has told me they cannot order it for me due to NHTSA rules in US....does anyone know if GM sold the 2016 2LT volt in Europe?
Actually, no you don't. This method was established by the SAE some time ago and is for all vehicles, not just the Volt. It works; just Google SAE side mirror adjustment and you should get plenty of articles and videos.I have no idea what you are saying for adjusting the passenger side mirror....if I have to do all of this then I need an aspheric mirror
There is no blind spot, adjust your mirrors correctly.Does anyone have the 2016 2LT european aspheric passenger side mirror for sale or tell me where I can purchase them to eliminate the huge blind spot on passenger side?

Go to your neighborhood auto parts store and look in the mirror section. Should be lots to choose from.I have no idea how to adjust according to your instructions....bottom line is this car is known to have a blind spot issue and know many volt owners who purchased the aspheric mirrors....so again, anyone know where I can purchase it?
