Question:

I have thr PR 11550 towing mirrors. They fit my 2018 f150 perfectly however the drivers side adjustable mirror part is very loose and moves while driving down the road. Is there some way to tighten that part to keep it where I need it? The the whole assembly was but the mirror itself Thanks

Hey Remy! Does it seem like the wedge/pivot inside the mirror is worn out? Road vibration can cause that part to loosen up over time, which would explain why the mirror moves while driving.

You can try replacing the hardware with the Replacement Hardware for Custom Towing Mirrors # CM11553. Otherwise, you can replace just the driver side mirror with # CM11551.

What do you typically tow with your F-150?

These mirrors are brand new. Less than 40 road miles on them. It's just the movable mirror that is loose. Not the housing itself

@RemyN thanks for the clarification. Since the mirrors are basically brand new and the housing is mounted tight, it sounds like the actual mirror glass pivot tension on the driver side may not have been set correctly from the factory. I recommend getting the mirror replaced under warranty.

@RobinH. Thanks much. We will return them to Amazon and get a replacement set. (unless there is another path for replacement)
