1Aauto mirror upgrade!

I am impressed with the quality of these mirrors. Only installed them today.
Just power mirrors. Nice upgrade from my paddles.

Now can I get some tips on how to adjust the convex??
Low to ground or maybe adjust to see trailer wheels.

Have no experience towing with these

Push the convex mirrors. They move laterally more than vertically.

Oh. Well I hardly use my large mirror. When towing my large mirrors are positioned so I can see behind the trailer and what ever else happens to be back there. The convex mirrors are aimed to watch the two lanes next to me on either side. The only blind spots I have are directly to my left or right. I can't remember the last time I HAD to look over my shoulder unless my dog was in the front seat and I couldn't see the mirror.

That habit comes from work where looking over my shoulder just reveals the patient compartment.

I positioned my convex mirrors so I could just see the side of my X on the one edge and see the outer edge of the mirror housing on the other edge of the mirror.

They are amazing mirrors as good if not better than OEM. Ive had mine for five or six months but I think they are getting a little sun bleached a little, nothing like my OEM ones but I can see lighter colored areas on the tops. If they get worse in the next few years ive had amazing luck with Dupicolor black bumper trim paint so ill just take um off mask them and give them a few coats
