And,...I've had my tow mirrors save my door from being slammed by a ignorant, average middle aged disrespectful heavy set lazy women driver of a POS car that thinks that rather than find a larger parking spot, they'll just pull right up to my new (14) F150....and whip open their door?! I swear just because they drive shi*. Take responsibility! Good thing I was right there! She got schooled on proper door educate. If it was a dude ....been a different scenario.

Yeah - they stick out there!!


Butt....not only might somebody whack them, but another downside is that since installing mine I think I've lost at least 1/2 mpg around town, and up toward 1 mpg at highway speeds.

I try to park far away and usually close mine up. If they weren't power I'd close them less I'm sure!
