I'm looking for a good set of towing mirrors I can use when I haul my car to the track. I have a 24 ft enclosed trailer that I use which is pretty difficult to see around when going down the road. I'm not looking to replace my factory mirrors just have something I can use when needed. Has anyone found something that works and doesn't just fall off? (my truck is a '11 GMC Sierra)

(bought a towing mirror from Northern Tool that looked pretty solid however it sagged and finally fell off before I could even do a test drive around the block)

#5153 were the best...unfortunately they won't fit my '03 Yukon

#5146 I've seen on a few trucks and it seems pretty solid.

I've got the **** Custom Towing Mirrors, similar to the #5153 listed above. They work well on my Silverado with a 18ft open trailer. I can see around to the rear of the trailer easily. With an enclosed you should be able to see the back corners pretty easy. They go on and off pretty easy and don't scratch things up.

+1 on the *****.

I use the slip on ones with my Silverado. Much better than the Longviews also on that page. Those lasted only two years and were never as stable.

I tired the 5153 above and they were OK. But get a remote wireless camera and 3" monitor too

we use the **** extentions on our '08 Tahoe pulling our camper, and they work fine for that. Cheaper at Amazon btw <$50: http://www.amazon.com/****-10900-Che...3477835&sr=8-1

I bought a set of the **** mirrors for my '08 Silverado when I bought an enclosed trailer last Fall. They work great for the money (got them through Amazon for under $50 ) and they are easy to put on and remove.

I looked into upgrading to the OEM towing mirrors but adding up the cost of the mirror assemblies, the different switch, door trim and the ECM re-flash would have come to almost $450 And I would have lost the power-fold function.

Thanks guys for all your feedback, I ended up ordering the ****'s on Amazon with free shipping.

Damn that's a good deal off Amazon. Never would have thought to check there. Bought all my towing gear from etrailer. Not bad at all for <$50. There is no reason these things shouldn't last. There isn't much too them.

I found putting a small rubber piece cut from a pad where the plastic screw tip goes against the back of the truck mirror helps. Stops it from slipping and sliding. My Silverado has those metal/chrome look backs on the mirrors. They're slippery. Other than that they seem to stay on well.

I've never found any strap-ons that work very well. The OEM slide-outs on my 07' Yukon are great, maybe you should just buy the OEM set for your truck
