The proper way to adjust your mirrors sounds like nonsense initially, but stick with me. The rearview mirror (the one mounted on the windshield) should be facing straight back. Your side mirrors should be adjusted so they barely overlap the view of your rearview mirror. An easy way to do this is to sit in your normal driving position, and without moving your butt lean as far left as you can. Ideally your head will be against the driver's window. Turn the mirror outward until you can barely see and part of your vehicle. (You should be able to see a small section). For the right side, again keep your butt planted and lean as far as you can to the right. Adjust that mirror until you can barely see any part of the vehicle.
If you have adjusted them correctly, cars approaching from behind should move from your line of sight in the rearview mirror directly into your line of sight in either side mirror. This eliminates your blind spot.

How do you adjust car side mirrors?
This is my way and it eliminates blindspots without the use of any other add ons. First, adjust your rear view mirror and make a note of what you see in each corner behind you. Then adjust your outside door mirrors to show what you saw into the corner of the mirror closet to you. It takes a little getting use to this and not all door mirrors will adjust to this point, but if you can, it is great!
