Michael: Hi there. I'm Michael, with etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at the K-Source custom extendable towing mirror. This is going to extend the line of sight you have when you're pulling a trailer so that you can more easily and safely change lanes, pass other vehicles or park, anything that you need to do, where you need to see where your trailer is to make sure that it's all safe.This is going to help you achieve that. This is a custom fit for your 2002 through 2008 Ford van. It is going to replace the factory passenger side, side view mirror on your van.
And one of the benefits of having a mirror like this over some of your other towing mirror options, like your snap on or strap on mirrors is that this is going to be a permanent option. Whereas, those are a temporary option. So anytime you want to tow, you'd have to snap those on or strap them down. And then when you're done towing, take them off.This is going to be very easy to use. It's going to be one less thing you have to worry about when you're towing.
This does have the telescoping function. So it will pull out up to three inches to give you a better view of your trailer. And then when you're done towing, you can simply slide it back together and you'll be in your normal function for your van.This does also have the hinge design. If you we're going into a parking garage or another smaller parking space, you needed to have a little bit more room. You can fold this mirror up against the side of your van so that you can fit into those tighter spaces.
This also is compatible with the power mirror adjustment. That's going to let you change the mirror-face position with the factory power controls inside your van.Now keep in mind that it's only going to work. If your van already has those functions. This mirror is not going to add those to a van that does not already have them. You can see at the bottom, we do have our built-in spotter mirror.
That's going to help reduce our blind spots as well. The whole thing is made of a very durable plastic with a black textured finish. So it's going to look nice and it's going to hold up very well for us. As far as installing it, it's going to be extremely simple. You'll remove your old mirror. This is going to plug into the same electrical wiring, and it's going to have the same footprint it's going to mount in the exact same place as your existing mirror. All the hardware is included that you're going to need to get it installed. So really you're just going to have to pull the old one off, put this one on and you're ready to go.Our mirror-face dimensions. It's going to be eight and one eighth of an inch tall by seven inches wide. Our blind spot mirror. There is about two inches tall. When we have our mirror fully extended out the distance from the edge here to our van is going to be about 20 and a half inches.When we have it retracted like it is now it's about 17 and a half inches. Again, giving us that three extra inches when we pull it out. This is FMVSS approved. And it does come with a 90-day warranty from K-Source.Well keep in mind this is just the passenger side mirror. If you need the driver's side, we also have that available here at etrailer. We also have a kit that includes both the passenger and the driver's side, if you need both.You can find that here at etrailer.com as well. I forgot to mention that this little foam piece here is just another part of your installation. It's just going to keep everything nice and snug, but they do include that. It's got everything you need to get it installed. That's going to complete our look at the K-Source custom extendable towing mirror..
