What owners wrote
I can not utilize the inside rear view mirror totally, because the top half of the inside mirror is taken up by the backside of the onstar panel, it is what you see in the mirror. Also, the rear seat head rest take up the lower half of portions of it, so I have to keep the rear seats lowered all the way down to utilize the lower portion of the mirror. So now I have a 2 seat SUV. When people are sitting in the rear seat, especially with 3 people, you have no mirror view at all.
