F150 tow mirrors glass vibrating?

[FORDTEXAS]

Anyone noticed the glass on their tow mirrors are vibrating more than you would think or is it just me?
I switched from the small factory mirrors to the OEM tow mirrors and noticed that the glass on mine are more vibrating on the road.

if you have the power mirrors let the power open them up all the way. I heard manually opening the mirrors will cause vibration

mine are power folding and power extending.

I have regular towing, no power fold/extend, and no vibrations. Are yours factory or aftermarket?

I have the power tow mirrors. Mine vibrate too

Factory installed tow mirrors on mine, they vibrate also.

I have the factory tow mirrors on my XLT, they’re manual folding/extending and I fold them in whenever I park on the street. They don’t vibrate at all, even on shitty roads and I’m used to blurry vibrating mirrors from some of my motorcycles.

The folding mechanism is stiff and if it’s late and I’m tired, I’ll push them in with a shoulder.

Same here with my XLT.

Hi fordhouston,
I just swapped mirrors with a guy that had tow mirrors on a Platinum and wanted to go to regular mirrors. We swapped, but not the door switch with the telescoping button. They do vibrate, BTW, but not horrible enough to bother me. When you swapped the mirrors to the tow mirrors, was the harness already there for the telescoping button? Or was there extra wiring that needed to be run? Thanks.

harness was already there. you just need to switch out the panel on the drive side door.

Thank you! How did you pop the trim piece off that holds the switches? Or did you take the door panel off and go in underneath. Thanks again for the reply.

i used a plastic trim tool to pry off the panel. it’ll require some elbow grease but be very gentle at the same time.
