My expedition has the Mirrors with the Light underneath and I can't find a tow mirror for the passenger side. on the driver side I have a strap on mirror but won't work on the PS. I even went to Ford and they don't make one...
So I've ended my search and am asking the great guru's of the board (shoulda done in the first place).

I have the Mckesh mirrors and love them. They are adjustable and fit any vehicle. I have used mine on 4 vehicles a 1996 Grand Caravan, a 1999 Ford Windstar, a 2002 Ford Explorer and my current 2004 Explorer. They are expensive, but I will be able to use them on any vehicle we get.:)

at this point I don't care how much they cost.. I actually bought this one (or one like it) and returned it before I left the parking lot..I couldn't figure it out. :banghead: it seemed like I needed to be stronger and have 2 more hands..maybe it was a day I didn't have alot of sleep :morning:    hmmm I'll be passing by camping world today(dangerous place for my bank acct.)  maybe I'll pick one up take it home and try it again.

Thanks guys...

Dee the first time you put them on you need to adjust the mirrors.  How far down the car door they mount and how far out the mirror needs to be.  The salesman at my dealer adjusted mine for me when I bought them.  I have adjust them for the other vehicles when we switched TVs.  You might need 2 people the first time you put them on to adjust them.  It only takes about 30 seconds to put one on after that.  Just put the top section of the bracket in the window crack, hook the clamp under the bottom of the door and turn the handle to tighten them.  To remove them you just push the little metal lever to loosen the strap, removed the clamp on the bottom of the door and lift the mirror off.  It takes about 7 seconds for me to remove the mirrors.  It takes longer to put the window up after I take the mirror off.:)
