Expert Answers about Chevrolet Towing Mirrors


  • Are the K-Source Custom Towing Mirrors for a 2008 GMC Sierra Adjustable
  • The K-Source Custom Towing Mirrors, # KS80900, are a great option for your 2008 GMC Sierra. You will be able to fold in your factory mirrors while keeping these mirrors attached whether you have manual or power folding mirrors. If your factor mirrors fold manually, you will not want to put pressure on the end of the towing mirror, but toward the factory mirror. These custom towing mirrors match the contours of your existing mirrors and do not interfere with adjustments to your factory...

  • How Does the CIPA Towing Mirror # 11601 Attach to a 2002 Ford F-150 Mirror
  • I went out into our warehouse to pull a # 11601 and found that to install this CIPA Custom Towing Mirror, part # 11601, you must first insert the included contoured wedge into the inside of the towing mirror. This wedge is contoured to the back of the existing mirror on your 2002 Ford F-150. Next, you will slip the towing mirror over your existing mirror, and then you will tighten the included screw knob through the raised hole on the back of the towing mirror and tighten securely.

  • How To Install The CIPA Custom Towing Mirror, # 10802, On A 2003 Chevrolet Truck
  • On the CIPA Custom Towing Mirror, # 10802, you will attach the felt pad with the adhesive on one side, to the wedge. Then, the wedge is installed in the towing mirror by inserting the ends of the wedge into the slots on the inside of the mirror. Now you can slide the bottom edge of the towing mirror on the factory mirror and snap the top edge in place. The last thing to do is to screw the set screw into the towing mirror to hold the mirror in place. The wedge is used to give you a snug...

  • How Do CIPA Towing Mirrors Install on a 2015 Ford F-150
  • There is a wedge included with towing mirrors # CM11550 that fits between the factory side mirror housing and the inside of the towing mirrors that gets tightened using a knob that will thread through the backs of the towing mirrors to hold the mirrors in place. This design limits the contact with the factory mirrors on your 2015 Ford F-150.

  • Are the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors on a 2005 Ford F-150 Convex?
  • The passenger mirrors on the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors part # CM11800 are not convex but flat plane. Outside mirrors on the passenger's side may have either a flat plane lens or a convex lens. Convex mirrors have an inscription that must be permanently marked into it which reads "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear". Unfortunately none of our custom fit towing mirrors confirmed to fit your 2005 Ford F-150 are convex. I have attached both a review and installation video of...

  • Can Manual Mirrors be Replaced by Power Towing Mirrors on 2016 GMC Sierra
  • If your 2016 GMC Sierra has manual mirrors there won't be a way for you to utilize the electric functions of the powered towing mirrors # KS62147-48G as the wiring is unlikely to be run inside your door. You can still replace your factory mirrors with quality towing mirrors though they will be manual mirrors, the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors - Manual # KS62137-38G. These mirrors have a large, 11-1/2" tall x 7" wide face, giving you an optimal rear view so you can see more...

  • K-Source Extendable Replacement Towing Mirrors
  • The replacement towing mirrors that you are interested in, part # KS62073-74G, are manual adjustment replacement mirrors. You have to manually adjust the mirror and manually extend them. If you have electric mirrors or any other features on your factory mirrors that you'd like to keep then I recommend using the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors # KS3990 or Custom Slip On # CM10800. These options attach to the factory mirror housing to give you a manually adjustable mirror...

  • I spoke with my contact at K Source and the bottom mirror in custom towing mirror set # KS62075-76G is convex and the top mirror is flat. It is the same for both sides. The bottom mirror is manually adjustable. The top mirror is electrically adjustable if the truck has that feature.

  • To install the Rampage Custom Towing Mirrors # RA8605 on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, you will simply fit the clip on the strap on one end of the factory side mirror housing, and then fit the other clip on # RA8605 to the other end of the factory side mirror housing. From here you will pull the strap tight and use the Velcro to secure the strap. However, these are not confirmed to fit your vehicle, however a universal tow mirror like the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirrors # 40375-2...

  • Is CIPA Custom Towing Mirror, # CM11301 for a 2008 Toyota Sequoia Removable
  • Yes, the CIPA Custom Towing Mirror, # CM11301, is removable for times when you are not towing. If you look at the last picture on the product page, you will see a soft protective strip, a molded plastic piece, and a knob. The strip protects the vehicle factory mirror and the molded plastic piece sits on that, on the inside of the towing mirror housing. The knob screws in through the back and as you tighten it, it applies pressure to the molded plastic, holding the entire mirror tight...

  • Do the K-Source Custom Fit Replacement Towing Mirrors Vibrate More than Factory Mirrors
  • Because the K-Source replacement towing mirrors # KS62075-76G mount to the same location as the factory mirrors, vibration should not be any greater than with the factory mirrors. Vibration can be an issue with universal mirrors and clip-on towing mirrors in part because you have one part mounted to another which adds a point of possible movement. Since these mirrors mount in place of the OEM mirrors you will not have that extra link in the chain.

  • Do K-Source Custom Flip Out Towing Mirrors KS60183-84C Include Auto-Dimming Function
  • The K-Source Custom Flip Out Towing Mirrors # KS60183-84C that fit your 2012 Ram 1500 Quad cab do not have the auto-dimming feature that is on your OEM mirrors. They will provide the functions for power adjust, heat, turn signals and puddle lamps but the auto-dimming function will be lost. We do not offer a full replacement mirror with that function.

  • Do Replacement Towing Mirrors for a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 have Power Folding Option
  • There are no aftermarket towing mirrors that have a power fold in feature. They will all be manual folding mirrors including set # KS62135-36G for your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500. These mirrors do have electric operation, heat, and LED turn signals. These functions will only work if the truck's stock mirrors also had these functions. Please note they will not work on the passenger side if the stock mirror has sensors. If the passenger's side stock mirror has sensors and is disconnected it can...

  • Installing Longview Towing Mirrors on a 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
  • There is some foam inside the towing mirror housing for # CTM1600 to protect the factory mirror. The foam should compress when pushing the towing mirror on. The outer edge of the factory mirror should be close to the contour of the towing mirror. It sounds like you may have the hardware off a little. Take a look at the video I have linked showing a typical installation. First, if your mirrors are different than those in the video, that could be why the towing mirrors are not fitting....

  • Will CIPA Custom Towing Mirror, # 10801 Allow Visibility Down the Side of an 8 Foot Wide Trailer
  • When adding CIPA Custom Towing Mirror, # 10801, and # 10802 to your 1999 GMC Sierra, they will essentially work as if your factory mirror was 6 inches longer. When you combine the added length with the adjustability of the glass you should be able to see down the side of the trailer to make changing lanes safer. I have included a link to a video that may help illustrate the effectiveness of the mirrors. These mirrors will also fit full plastic mirrors and mirrors with turn signals that...

  • Does the Felt Strip of CIPA Towing Mirror part # CM11301 Permanently Attach to Vehicle Mirror
  • The felt strip of the CIPA Towing Mirror part # CM11301 that you referenced would not permanently attach to the mirror of the vehicle. When you remove the tow mirror from the vehicle the felt would come off of the vehicle as well. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

  • Do Towing Mirrors for a 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 have Heat and Electric Functions
  • The K-Source towing mirrors, # KS60179-80C, are heated and electric meaning that if the truck had those features originally these mirrors will work in the same manner. If the truck did not have electric and heat functions on the factory mirrors, these mirrors will not give you those functions. I have included a link to all of the towing mirror options we carry for a 1999 Dodge Ram.
