On the passanger side that would be at the low, right corner. On the driver side that would be at the low left corner. In the sample below, I choose position #3. If not #3 then #1 is my second best choice (which may have to do with the design of the mirror.) Never #2 or #4 You can now find these stick on convex mirrors that come with a piviot and are adjustable. I like them. Here is another tip for the back of the van. I had the small version of these on the back of my Astro. It made parallel parking very easy and I could see right to the ground just a few feet off the bumper.

This. This guy must be a brother from a different mother. I drove a huge van at an airport for several years. The mirrors were in the proper position and worked so well I didn't reply on the larger mirrors after awhile.
