I would give the product a 5 if they had instructions with the product. Once I figured out how to install, I was happy with the way they fastened and they worked very well.

Had no options for extended mirrors on my explorer to pull my new 8.8 wide 26 ft enclosed trailer, after really pretty easy getting them on I could then see own both sides or the trailer , did the trick for me and the great part is when you call etrailer and explain things they are very knowledgeable and get it done

These mirrors work wonderfully! I put them on a Ford Explorer and they stay put. I tried another type and they would not stay. These are perfect. They ratchet down and don't loosen up.

Using on a 2016 Explorer, for towing a 19ft camper. Have to be a little careful placing the outside strap, after which, it holds well (has not fallen off). The mirror works good for seeing the lane next to the camper. So it serves its intended purpose.

The mirrors appear to be pretty sturdy. The actual mirror seems a bit small, but I have not used the mirrors yet to tell if the mirror size is actually adequate or not. The clamps are nicely machined and not one bit flimsy; they are rock solid. The lower part of the clamp that wedges into the mirror housing is nice and thin, but it still seems to touch the top of the truck's mirrors slightly. But, they still seem to be able to adjust ok, occasionally grabbing the clamp and jumping a little. One other semi trivial thing that was a little disappointing; I had to use a wrench on the nut used to adjust the tube length, and the wrench scratched the paint off of the aluminum nut. It detracted from the fine appearance of the mirrors ever so slightly. I wish I had some exact match touch up paint. In a couple of days I will get to use them for the first time whereas I am picking up my new travel trailer from the dealer out east on Long Island. I'll report back on how well it went and how well the mirrors worked. I'll even try to add pictures.

I told a 7 foot wide travel trailer behind my Ford Explorer It needs extended mirrors to tow properly and I tried a different style first. Those just didn’t work satisfactorily for a year and I gave up on them. When I found these at etrailer and watched their video on them, I was impressed and ordered them. I’ve used them once and I am even more impressed. They attached very firmly with no wiggle or shake, and they’re adjustable in many ways. They are the answer to my problem. Looks like a great product.

My rating is less to do with the product and more with etrailer. I ordered an identical mirror (CIPA model 11950) on amazon for less than half the price, 1 day shipping, free delivery, and it did not fit my vehicle so I bought the one etrailer recommended for my vehicle. I thought it was CIPA model 7070 but that is just the etrailer model #. I got CIPA model 11950 which I already have. Now I need to return the ones to etrailer and I'm being charged $16 to do so. This could have been avoided if the CIPA model number was immediately visible in the description (it is there in small print at the bottom). Also, my vehicle's mirror (2018 explorer) is not the same as the 2018 explorer in the video and picture. So it's not accurate for etrailer to say it fits all 2018 Explorers.

Fits great,and looks good too.

Very good quality construction. Very good fit for a non-custom mount. Thick rubber straps are stretched over the car’s side mirror and hold the mirror well. My car is a 2017 Ford Expedition EL. Note: when you fold in the car mirror the towing mirror partially blocks the progress so that mirror stops early. It is still folded but not as completely as without the tow mirror. And yes, they are two identical mirrors so on one side the straps go up, on the other side they go down.

Perfect fit!

Purchased the K-source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors for use while towing a trailer. They are a perfect fit and really help me keep an eye on the traffic around me. They also help to eliminate some of the blind spots with or without a trailer behind me. Right product for the right vehicle. Thanks Etrailer!

These have been a great safety feature for pulling a trailer. I really appreciate how they detach and are easily stowed. Olid product!

I would like it to be extendable a bit further on the passenger side. The driver's side is fine though. The passenger side does not let one see far enough away from the side of the trailer. All in all, I like it better than drilling holes into the doors of my pickup to install huge mirrors. These look way better and are sufficient.

Not long after putting on the truck, the mirror fell off

We haven't used them yet while driving the RV, but the fit is perfect! Very happy with these extenders

Really loved my cipa mirrors on my Chevy. The dodge mirrors are tight if you use the right thickness wedge. Problem I have is that if your backing up and want to pan the factory mirror down for rocks or stumps the overhanging lip of the cipa mirror stopes the factory mirror. Will have to grind some off that lip for factory mirrors tilt up or down to clear for the tilt of factory mirror.

The towing mirrors are an exact fit. I was going to only use them when I towed my trailer but decided to keep them on permanently. They look Really good.

I've run these mirrors a few thousand km now, they work great. They don't vibrate much, and go on and off easily. No complaints, I would recommend these if you don't want to bolt big extendable tow mirrors on your 90's chevy

Installation was very easy and secure. On test run there was no vibration angles remain constant for easy rearview examination

The mirrors fit my 1997 Ford F250 HD perfectly. The threaded clips and threaded nob are cheap. The plastic threads that tighten the mirror to the vehicle are easily damaged. Mirrors would be better if the clips were made better. Giving 4 stars based on the flimsy clips.

The concept is great, however the connection to the mirror has a plastic screw, not the ones shown here in the picture which look to be metal. I have not even used the mirrors and first time removing them, the plastic screw (why??) breaks.
