Troubleshooting
Mirror is loose or wobbly
Ensure the towing mirror is fully snapped onto the original mirror housing. Try removing and reattaching it, ensuring it clicks into place securely. Check for any debris obstructing the fit.
Cannot achieve desired viewing angle
Manually adjust the angle of the towing mirror head. If it feels stiff, apply gentle but firm pressure. Ensure no part of the vehicle's original mirror housing is preventing adjustment.
Mirror fogs up in certain conditions
This is a common issue with add-on mirrors. Allow it to clear naturally or use a demisting spray designed for automotive glass.
