tow mirrors

Hey all, I need some tow mirrors that I can add or clamp on to my existing mirrors. What do you recommend? I don't want the factory long tow mirrors just an add on deal. Thoughts? Thanks.

I tried the slip ons and they vibrated so much they were mostly worthless.

Tried these and love them

I used a set if the **** slip ons on a Dakota. Worked really well. Visibility was excellent. Easy to put on and take off. Didn't look all that great, but I don't care about that. If I needed mirror extensions, I would buy them again.

I had the same problem with my slip on mirrors so I set them at the angle where they needed to be and I put a bead of black silicon onto the edge of the mirror and to the housing. Its not perfect but its 80% better.

I borrowed a set of slip ons so I couldn't modify them. Anything will help them.
Another friend has a set of McKesh and I was impressed with the visibility. I have a truck camper so the wide is on the truck. Cannot make a little "S" with the truck as I have done towing a trailer to see those idiot tailgaters.
