caperinmuskoka Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Well I went out today and bought a pair of Canadian Tire Towing mirror ext. for my 2012 Dodge Journey R/T. I am towing a 101 inch wide flat snowmobile trailer 10 feet long with two Polaris Sportsman ATV's and a steel nose shield on the front of the trailer. The reason I bought the mirrors are (1) so I can see changing lanes, And (2) few people at work have got the $110.00 fine (one had a warning) here in Ontario ,Canada for towing without the proper view behind you. How many of you out there are towing with your Journey and can't see beside you to change lanes? I will post some pics and give a full review if anybody is intrested after this week-end of ATV'ing in Mattawa , Ontario. I did do some looking on the web and some homework also before I bought the ones I picked, these are a ratchet ones and should stay tight with no vibration or movement. and have rubber pads on the back to protect the finish on the rear of the factory mirror. I will follow up on this post for you forum members, if anybody is in the market for a set. Remember they are sold each, not as a set (the ones I have anyway).....Caper........

buffy340 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I bought some in the interest of having a "fix it" ticket dismissd. However once mounted I realized that they didnt give me much better view than without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I got these ones that really-really help. I don't know where they came from cause I got them used but they have the ratchet system with rubber stops. Each mirror has two mirrors, plain and convex (on the outside half) and they're really nice.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymista Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I want a trailer like the one you have! I have a 1974 Cygnet and it is on its last days. I started putting a tarp over it for the winter a few years ago and found out you shouldn't do that. My unit really smells of mildew now and it's got to go. I will be looking for mirror extensions too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windancer Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 How many of you out there are towing with your Journey and can't see beside you to change lanes? I must admit about all I tow these days is my kayak trailer although I sometimes tow my boat, but I have no visibility problems Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
