Brantford, Ontario, Canada - for now
Hi all, We are in Ontario Canada, looking for longview towing mirrors for a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee.... I am looking online and see that many of the (recommended) slip-on types do not fit a 2017 JGC.... and we have been advised that the clamp on ones will require frequent tightening. Any advice on these 2 different types? I have emailed etrailer.com to ask if they can make custom slip-ons and if so, at what cost... but I would love it if anyone could weigh in on their experience with various mirror additions. Many thanks! We pick up our trailer from the dealer in 2 weeks and will be moving it down the road to a campground for 2 months, so have a bit of time to figure this out.
 
I used the longview on a Ram that didn't have tow mirrors.  They worked well enough.  A little shaky, but they stayed put.
The clamps didn't fit my mirrors correctly, so I had to jerry rig them, but other then that for the money they functioned.
 
I used clamp on mirrors for several years on my pickup truck and never had any problems with them loosening.  I think I'd use the clamp on mirrors for now and if it really becomes a problem then go spend the big bucks on mirror replacement.

I used these from Walmart:

$40.00

 
Thanks...the ones you bought for $40 from WM are the ones I would prefer but they do not fit a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee.... have bought 2 ratchet clamp on mirrors from Canadian Tire but neither fit. The mirrors would blow off on the highway. Perhaps may need to suffice and rig them custom-like.
 
I have been using McKesh mirrors from Hensley Mfg. work great, don't shake, can be adjusted for width of trailer. Usual take them off once at destination. https://hensleymfg.com/product-category/mckesh-mirrors/
