Just purchased a used set on craigslist, in new condition with the optional convex mirrors for $45.00. I always wanted a pair and now I got em'.
Do you users out there like these mirrors?

Yes. It took about an hour to assemble and set them up the first time, but now they go on in about 10 seconds per side (with the windows down), and come off in about 3 seconds per side (simply with the doors open). I need to adjust the mirror heads a bit from time to time, if they get bumped.

Used 'em for years when I was towing with a pick-up - best mirrors I ever tried. You will love them!

You will find out they're awesome, once they are set up and tight.
BTW, that is a great price!!!

Yep! I see on the Hensley web-site, this is about a $160.00 set with the convex additions.
The man I bought them from is in the Chico area of NorCal and he is letting me send a UPS Call Tag for pick-up.
I love when my craigslist and eBay purchases go well. Never had a problem yet.
Plus, they are already assembled!!

I used a set of McKesh Mirrors when we had our F250 before upgrading to our current F250 PSD. The mirrors were great had provided an excellent view of our trailer. I highly recommend them for towing.

I had heard about McKesh mirrors and ordered them when we got our new TT. The only thing to be aware of AHEAD OF TIME, is the color of the nylon straps that holds them on. I have a black TV and my straps are very white. They come in both white and black and I don't know what other colors BUT if you have a chance, make sure you get a color that goes well with your TV. I really like them - no shaking and no vibration. Great image. My right side screw that holds the mirror in the correct place tends to come loose too often. I've had to tighten it a couple of times - I make look for another solution. Enjoy them!!!

Yep, we love ours too. Another good thing is that they will work with any TV you have. We have already used ours with two different vehicles.

You might try some Locktite in the non-permanent type.
