I have a set that I used for about a year (and they worked quite well) until I bought my new truck which has towing mirrors. I will sell my slightly used set. Email me at: bobntami@cablespeed.com if interested.

I used the convex and really liked them except for the problem I had.

Here's another thumbs up for the Tow-N-See mirrors. I find them to be a really great mirror. Just remember to get the convex mirrors for both sides. That way you'll have great visibility.

Here's the post I recently put up.

Have a good one.

Right now if I want to adjust my morrors I have to move them by hand. In other words my mirrors are apparently out of sync and I wish I knew how to get them back into sync. Anyone know how to resync the power mirrors so pushing the button up makes the mirror go up.


I experienced these same symtoms on my previous vehicle. It turned out one of the pivot points behind the mirror was broken, and of course the entire mirror came as one piece. A $485 surprise. When bumped these mirrors can break the vehicle mirror assembly.

I use them on a 2006 Durango with the tear drop 5x7 mirrors and like them.They are easy to attach just use the suction screw to tighten or release.I use the flat one on the drivers side and convex on the passenger.Preposition your mirrors first then do a final power adjustment.

Well I give these mirrors a big expensive thumbs down.

I like them. I've not had any problems after two years and many thousands of miles. I like the simplicity and light weight. I use a flat on the driver's side, and a convex on the passenger. I have had them fall off, but it's always because I didn't clean the glass first. When they do fall off, they're too light to do any damage.

A cool thing is that they fold back with my power mirrors, which I have to do just at the right time as I back up my driveway.

If I used my vehicle the majority of the time to tow, I'd probably invest in the big OEM collapsing mirrors.

I used them for two years with my Lincoln Nav before getting the F350. They worked great. When I cleaned the Nav's mirrors before installing the T&S's, they didn't fall off. Get 2 convex. I tried the flat and it was useless IMHO. Best bang for the $ for me.
