How to Reduce Vibration on Towing Mirrors for a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
Is there any way of reducing the vibration on these ratchet mount mirrors? So bad I cant even make out the trailer and somewhat useless if not. Thanks

I called my contact at K-Source about the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors part # KS3990 and they informed me that they have not really heard of many issues with excessive vibration. However, if you are experiencing such then you might want to try and tighten the strap a bit more to see if that fixes your issue.
Unfortunately, if the side mirrors on your vehicle are also experiencing vibration then the towing mirrors would be more or less an amplified version of that as they are less secure. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is also not exactly known for its stability at speed so I would recommend a more sturdier option like the CIPA Universal Deluxe Door-Mount Mirrors part # 11650-2. These mirrors secure to the door which will then in turn create less vibration allowing for a clearer view. I have attached a road test video so you can see this as well.
