Hi there, towing enthusiasts. Today, we're going to be taking a look at CIPA's Universal Towing Mirror replacement straps. These are going to work with any of CIPA's clip-on towing mirrors as well as with the dual-view towing mirrors. You'll receive two straps with your replacement kit, as well as the buckles for adjusting the tightnessNow, it's great that CIPA uses rubber straps in their mirrors because it doesn't cause any scratches or abrasions to your mirror and it gives it a nice gripping surface to grab onto your mirror so your mirrors don't fall off. However, rubber does degrade over time and it does start to dry out. Over the years, especially if you use it all year round, whether winter, summer, that hot and cold and the sun beating down on it does take its toll and, eventually, these straps will fail.That's pretty much with all rubber, though.
What's nice is that our replacement straps are going to come exactly like our factory straps, and I can already feel a pretty big difference in this strap versus this strap. This one feels. it feels worn out. It doesn't have the same softness that the new strap does here. I mean, this feels very soft.
You can push on it. This is kind of hard and it almost feels like if I gave it a nice tug I could probably break this one. We've been using this one here for quite some time. We did already break another one here, so let's go ahead and get these straps installed so we can get our mirror back up and running again.Now, the strap that was damaged has been lost and since it's missing, so we have neither the buckle nor the strap or anything. Before we put that one in, though, we're going to take this one out.
We might as well replace both of them because, well, you don't want one of your straps failing if you replaced a good one and then you have this one fail. Your mirror still could potentially fall off. Before taking your old straps off, you'll want to remove the buckle, and this is pretty simple. You just take out one side first, sort of just pushing it up. Once you get a little bit started, you can pull it out and then you can slide the buckle off.Once you've slid the buckle off, the strap just slides out.
You'll just want to take note here of the position, though, because you can see we've got the grooved edges on one side and smooth on the other. The smooth side is facing towards the inside of our mirror, between our arms, so just make that note. I'll slide our old strap out, set that aside, take our new straps and slide those in.We can then place the new buckles onto our straps, and with these buckles you also want to keep in mind how they mirror's going to function. It's going to clip on your mirror like this. This is going to come around and it's going to hook here on top. Our buckle is going to be kind of like this and then it's going to clip on. With that being said, that means we need to take our buckle here, we'll slide it through and then slide it back down. This will give us our adjustment as well as give us the correct orientation to come up here and clip on. We're going to the same with our other strap.Now that we've got them all the way installed, let's test it out and make sure everything's working as it should. We'll hook our clips of our mirror on to our factory mirror, and then we're going to bring our straps around the backside and hook them into place. I'll have to loosen the tension on this one just a little bit, and we're back up and running again. As you can see, this mirror is not coming off of there. It's nice and night, and if you have a second mirror for your other side while you're out here fixing this one, it's not a bad idea to update that one as well. Don't replace your mirror because you can replace the straps at a fraction of the cost to get you back on the road.

Replaces the straps for your CIPA clip-on towing mirrors (7070, 11950, or 11953).First and foremost thank you to everyone for listening and being willing to considery solution. I did watch the video you sent and it did help. But I will try the new straps on my trip out to the coast. The cross winds are rough. I will let you know. Again. Great product, great people a d great service. Thank you!
The straps for the mirrors did not hold well. The buckle did not hold the straps, I had to use paper clips to stop them from sliding out of buckle, I was not happy on a long trip, I had to tighten often.
Ken P - 08/15/2021Communication from etrailer was excellent regarding order shipment. The product, replacement straps for CIPA clip-on towing mirrors, are the exact match for Reese TowPower clip-on mirrors.
I was glad to locate the replacement parts. I like the mirrors but without the straps of little value and I didn’t have to replace mirrors
Exacy replacement straps for my trailer towing mirrors. Couldn't find them anywhere, but etrailer had them!!
The product is good. Fit works on Nissan Frontier (2019)is good also. My only problem is the mirror size itself isn't big enough. return was easy and will be looking for large one for next years trips.
Good product it works well on my truck
Having the option to replace weak straps instead of replacing the entire mirror was great! Every time I need anything etrailer come through with ease from having the part to the delivery! I highly recommend this site for all of your needs. Thank you!
I ordered 2 sets of straps and the package came damaged; which had one strap missing. I contacted etrailer and they immediately sent me another set at no cost to me !!!! Outstanding customer service!!! I would recommend them to anyone :)
Still using the original straps, but planning ahead by getting replacement straps.
Received item #11952STRAP (2 pairs) Tow mirror REPLACEMENT STRAPS. They are an exact match.Good quality,"live rubber" and hold the mirrors tightly in place. Time will tell, however, regarding their longevity against the elements of UV rays, heat from the sun and temperature changes. With proper care and conditioning, I am hopeful they will provide long-term service as these tow mirrors (and straps) are not a permanent fixture of the tow vehicle. ETrailer representative was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional in every way! It's a wonderful experience to deal with someone with courteous customer service skills!!!! I WILL be a repeat customer.
We bought these to replace a strap that snapped on our strap on trailer mirrors - they seem to fit perfectly and we look forward to using them on our next camping trip (whenever COVID let’s us get out there.)
These are replacement straps for the Reese Towing Mirrors. Due to the nature of the materials they weather and crack after a period of time so I am happy there are replacements available. These work well and were shipped promptly so I am very satisfied with the product and purchasing process.
Just received today. Have not used these mirrors yet, but they seem sturdy and well made.
Exactly what I needed and couldn't find anywhere else. Super fast service.
I have 2 dual mirror strap-on tow mirrors by Reese. These are direct replacement for the cracked straps and are the exact dimensions as the originals. Work great.
Dad gave me his old mirrors, the rats hat eaten the straps. These new straps seem to be an exact replacement. Really stretch well and hold these clipon mirrors tight. My truck is 01 F-150.
Great product but I forgot to get enough parts ,I'll have to submit another order , thanks for carrying these parts
It was great service with fast delivery. Couldn't find the replacement straps at any stores thanks for carrying them and not having to replace entire mirror. Haven't has a chance to put them on but can't see any issues there.
fast ship nice straps
I havenot used them yet, but are the same as the one I have.Never had a problem with any poducts ordered from etrailer.The only problem I had was the traking page would not work
These replacement straps seem a little heavier made (thicker) than the straps that broke that came on the original mirror.
They are just what I need for once or twice a month towing.
And they are not on all the time. Great!
Replacement StrapsAll I can say is...Man that was fast. Ordered 1-4-11 at 9:53 CST...email from George at 10:03 confirming availability and pending shipment information...email from Blake at 10:43 that the order had been upgraded from standard shipping and had been shipped.
Today 01/07/2011 received an email from Katie that UPS delivered the package at 5:19 PM. I was gone at the time but just now found the package by the front door. Great service all the way around and I would order again from this company. Thanks.
