Long time lurker and new member. Have learned some great information so far and finally have something to share.
Have a 2020 Lariat with BLIS and wanted spot mirrors for parking, changing lanes and light towing. Got the typical round ones but everything was really far away, which had me thinking about swapping to the base model mirrors with the built in ones.

Then I saw these stick on ones made for the Ranger and it seemed like a perfect solution. They just came in and so far I’m very pleased.

The view is much improved, they fit nice, are made in the USA and are really nice quality. Pricey, but I feel definitely worth it at only about 12 bucks more than the first set.

Also came with a referral discount FordUser15 https://nxtgenautomotive.com/ford-extended-view-mirrors/

Ive never heard of 3M VHB but the stuff is crazy. It is not The foam based tape I’ve become accustomed to over the years with accessories. It is a solid piece of adhesive, which is clear and somewhat gel like. It is some impressively sticky stuff, almost like what’s in a mouse trap.

They have a link to instructions on the package, it shows to clean the mirrors with alcohol and then shoot these with a little heat. My fingers would come off before these probably.

I can't tell from their website. Are these replacement mirrors? Or stick on convex pads?

Can you try and take a picture at a stop light some day so we can see them in action?

So the weather got really bad and then I left town for work for 10 days. I did get one quick, but terrible picture. Sorry so blurry but it's a nice view without taking up a lot of useable mirror!

Also, when I am actually driving you can't see the truck in my main mirror as I push it out fairly far. In the little mirror when you can't see the truck in the big one, you see the rear tire, part of the bed and a big area in the blind spot as well as the lines and the ground. It's great!

Hmmm, so I’m not alone.

Also owning a Lariat with BLIS I noticed that it doesn’t always pick up motorcycles, therefore I’ve added these additional spot mirrors some time ago.

Something to keep in mind for those who solely trust the little orange warning light.

Stick on mirrors that fit the stock BLIS mirror on the bottom.
