  • Will Slip-On Towing Mirrors Scratch the Paint on 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Factory Mirror
  • Although the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors, # CM10950, and the Longview Custom Towing Mirrors, # LVT-1800, are very popular with our customers and scratching paint is not a common complaint, any time that you slide something across paint you do run the risk of a scratch. To considerably reduce the risk of scratches I recommend that you make sure that the towing mirror and factory mirror are clean and free of any debris. A good coat of wax on the painted surface of your mirrors will also help. These...

  • Do K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors # KS70131-32T Offer Power Folding Option
  • The K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors, # KS70131-32T, will fold up against the truck but this must be done manually. These mirrors do not offer the power folding option like the factory mirrors on your 2011 Toyota Tundra. If you do not want to lose the power folding feature of the factory mirrors I recommend going with a clip-on towing mirror instead. Take a look at the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors, # CM11300. These mirrors will give you the expanded line of sight that you are looking...

  • Are the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors for a 2016 Ford F-150 Magnified
  • The CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors part # CM11550 which are a fit for a 2016 Ford F-150 don't have any magnification. I am not actually aware of any towing mirrors we offer with magnification, they are designed to simply extend your field of view so you can see your trailer better and what's beside it. There are some blind-spot stick-on mirrors which have magnification but that's it to the best of my knowledge. These towing mirrors are the same type of mirror used in the factory side mirror,...

  • Are There Slide-On Towing Mirrors for 2017 Nissan Titan
  • There are currently no slide-on or slip-on towing mirrors for a 2017 Nissan Titan, and while I suppose anything's possible, there's no reason to think any will be added for this truck a number of years later. So if you need towing mirrors for yout Titan you'll have to go with clamp-on mirrors, and for that I highly recommend the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2. I really like these mirrors because they allow you to adjust how far out they can extend so you get the view you need....

  • Will Heat And Turn Signal Features Work On Tow Mirrors If OEM Mirrors Do Not Have Those Functions
  • If the mirrors you have on your 2012 Silverado do not currently have turn signals, or heat functions, towing mirrors with those features will not be enabled. The wiring is not completed for those functions on the vehicle. If you do not have those functions but want custom towing mirrors on your truck I recommend part # KS80900. These mirrors snap on to the lip of the vehicle mirrors. They will not work with mirrors that have a chrome cap and will not work with telescoping mirrors.

  • Will K-Source Towing Mirrors Install Easily In Cold Weather On 2014 GMC Sierra 1500
  • We haven't received any negative feedback from customers that have purchased the K-Source Custom Towing Mirrors, part # KS80910 about the fit or problems with the mirrors in colder weather. If your concern is with the clips that hold the K-Source mirrors in place, I would recommend the Longview Custom Towing Mirrors, part # LVT-1800. These slip over your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 mirrors and are held in place with the included arm that hooks to the inside edge of your mirrors. A hand knob...

  • Will CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors Scratch OEM Mirrors, Make Noise, Fall, or Interfere with OEM Mirror
  • I went out to the warehouse to examine the CIPA Custom Towing Mirror, Driver Side, # CM11301, more closely. (The passenger side mirror is # CM11302.) The instructions do state that the towing mirror may mar the factory mirror finish. However, the wedge that holds the mirror in place comes with an adhesive backed felt liner to help protect the finish. The tightening knob on the back should be tight enough to secure the mirror but avoid over tightening as damage to the OEM mirror may occur. The...

  • Do K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors For 2007 GMC Sierra Classic Allow Power Folding
  • While you can still fold the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors - Electric/Heat with LED Signal # KS62075-76G, it would have to be manually as they don't allow power folding. There isn't a towing mirror with the power folding functionality, but the mirrors do have powered mirror adjustment, as well as heat and the LED turn signals. So if you're okay with having to manually fold the mirrors on your 2007 GMC Sierra Classic, by far the best option for towing mirrors on your truck are...

  • Does K-Source Custom Power Heated Towing Mirror KS60113C Change Perspective
  • On the K-Source Custom Power Heated Towing Mirror # KS60113C the main mirror surface is flat, so it does not alter your distance perspective. But this mirror also includes a convex spotter mirror, inset on main mirror surface, to widen your rear view to further reduce blind spots. This towing mirror is a fit for your 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup that has the power and heat functions already in place for the OEM mirrors. Please note that additional functions not already on the vehicle cannot be...

  • Will K-Source KS3990 Towing Mirrors Cause Factory 2017 Ford Expedition Mirrors to Fold In
  • The K-Source # KS3990 universal towing mirrors are what I'd consider the best universal towing mirrors we offer, because of the ratcheting strap mechanism they use to attach to the factory mirror. This allows for a tight fit, which limits vibration from the mirrors attachment to the factory mirror. Movement from the factory mirror could be a different story. These clip on mirrors measure about 7-1/2 inches wide x 5-1/8 inches tall, so they will catch some wind especially at higher highway...

  • What Towing Mirror Will Have The Best Visibility On A 2018 Chevy 2500
  • We actually got a chance to test out several of our towing mirrors on a Chevy truck just the other day. The mirror we found to give the best visibility is the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors # KS3891-2. Install may take a bit of trial and error to get the correct fit, but they will be very secure once properly installed. The mirror surface itself is 7-3/4" tall x 5-1/8" wide and is easily adjustable. When positioned correctly, it allowed us to see well beyond the factory mirror and to...

  • Are The K-Source Custom Towing Mirrors # KS60195-96C Power Fold-In And Auto Dim
  • The K-Source Custom Flip Out Towing Mirrors # KS60195-96C have powered mirror adjustability but not power folding and would require you to manually fold them in. These mirrors also do not come with the dimming function that your current mirrors are equipped with. Unfortunately at this time we do not offer power-folding or auto-dimming mirrors.
