Towing mirrors for Ram 1500
For my 2009 Ram I purchased a set of Fit System 80710 towing mirrors which fit the stock mirrors perfectly. My 2009 had manual closing mirrors which I had to use to get in/out my garage due to door width. When I traded it in I removed the mirrors and tried to install them on my 2014 Ram Sport which has power folding mirrors, no go. They just will not slip on over the bigger 2014 power Sport mirrors. Anyway I revisited clip on mirrors for my future trip to pick up Prairie Schooner and upon reading reviews of this model it seems they will work, but they need to be modified.
Compounding the issue was a set of vent visors I had installed that the mirrors barely touch when closed.
I got out my trusting power tool and started cutting the plastic around the mirror as well as making the clips a little smaller, viola I was able to get them installed and when closed and open there is no obstruction. Here is the stock picture showing the opening along the bottom for the puddle lamps and turn signals:
