bmach and flyingpostman........ bmach I just ordered those, and found a suggestion on a trailer forum to line the inside with the sticky felt. they say it not only protects, but makes them fit better, a little more snug.... I found it for a dollar a sheet at a local craft store, in black even, and bought three sheets. no big and could be a great thing for 3 bucks....

I replied to this yesterday, didn't see my reply though. It may scratch the paint if you have painted mirrors.

Don't fool w mirrors. Mount a camera up high on your trailer and string a wire to plugs near your hitch. Mount another camera on the hitch w plugs. Mount a small monitor to the rubber tray on top of the dash. You will have a much better back up camera than the Ford unit because your monitor will be larger. You will have a terrific view behind the trailer.

My thoughts, too. I plan on ordering some in the next couple of weeks.
