Default Tow Mirror Question

I am considering putting on OEM tow mirrors on 2014 Screw. I have looked at some that will plug into my existing harness and give me heat and power. The fold and extend would be manual. My question for you with tow mirrors is how far out from the door to outside of mirror frame do they extend when in "normal position". My current mirrors are approx 11.5 inches from door to outside of frame. I am trying to determine how much farther the tow mirrors will stick out. I park in a single stall garage so I am limited. TIA

Any Chance I could get you to fold your mirror in and give me a measurement there as well

I just swapped a guy my standard mirrors with a guy for his Tow Mirrors. They are plug and play with the exception of the power telescoping. I am currently working with another member to build a harness that will plug in to the harness to allow the easy addition of the telescoping switch. Once i get this done I will post a complete writeup with pics.
