Default Temporary towing mirrors

Has anybody found a clip-on, clamp-on or similar type of towing mirror to mount on the regular mirrors for occasional towing? I recently lost both of my Milenco Aero towing mirrors because the new mirrors have a beveled upper plastic trim that does not allow adequate clamping force. Really frustrated because those Aeros weren't cheap, and nothing I've seen for sale locally looks like it would mount securely enough. BTW, no need to recommend the factory telescoping towing mirrors. I know about that option.

The Snap & Zap are great. Had them on my 2019, but they won't be available for the '21s until September. I emailed them and asked.

I got a pair of snap-on towing mirrors for my 2016 F-150 at Auto Zone for about $65 that I've been very pleased with.

When I emailed K-Source (makers of Snap & Zap) I was told that the 2021's are in development with no known release date.

Also bought these after finding out that other units are in the works.

Made it about 90 miles and at our 1rst pit stop got out the good old 3M 33 electrical tape and taped up the little bit of excess rubber strap extending beyond the latch.

The fluttering in the wind was driving me nuts.

They worked good and have foregone the need for the more fancy slide on units.

Made one change as in Cross strapped across the mirrors for better attachment.
