K-Source Universal Towing Mirror - Clip On - Convex Mirror - Qty 1
I haven't road tested it yet, but it seems to strap on as well as could be expected from a universal fit product. Seems like the car mirror will still function and the straps will not damage the finish on the mirror. I used some rubber pieces from a bike tube to play it safe. Seems like an additional strap wrapping diagonal around the mirror on the edge closed to the car would mitigate risk for slipping off the tapered mirror.
Worked well while towing a trailer with my Jeep Grand Cherokee.

K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Pair
I purchased the KS3990 Universal Dual Lens Clip-On pair of mirrors and found them to be easily installed on my 2016 F-150 Ford truck mirrors. The on-line help video for the 2016 F150 was helpful. They seem to be fairly well secured onto the existing mirrors, which are NOT actually rectangular in shape, as was portrayed in the video. In addition to the upper outside corners, the lower horizontal edge (towards road) has a slight upwards tapering effect. I have test driven the vehicle with the 26 ft. travel camper in tow and the mirrors seem to provide much improved visibility on both sides. We will be taking a weekend trip in the near future to confirm that these mirrors are completely adequate.
The universal mirrors fit my 13 Honda Ridgeline. Depending on the size and curvature of your mirrors, they may fit better/worse. In my case, my mirror has an angled edge on the bottom edge. As a result, the ratchets total surface area of coverage is smaller. Slight vibration when going over 55MPH. However, this is to be expected with adjustable mirrors. No significant issues over 100 mile trip.

CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror - Clamp On - Adjustable Length - Steel
Easy to install and remove. Minimal vibration with a great field of vision. Great buy.
This was a well made product and I really liked how adjustable it was. However, be certain to tighten the mounting screws securely. I thought mine were tight enough, but when an on-coming semi passed us the mirror blew off. Fortunately no damage to the truck or camper, but the mirror was toast.

CIPA Universal Towing Mirror - Clip On - Qty 1
Purchased a pair for our 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee towing a nuCamp 400 from FL to AK and back. Three months and around 16k miles. Pros - other than an adjustment the second day, I never had to adjust the tension straps again. They were easy to mount and did not interfere with our mirrors folding inward. They weathered three months on the road without issue though I was beginning to worry about the straps becoming brittle. I noticed this once I removed them. Had I kept them, I would have used some silicon to rejuvenate the rubber. Cons - the only con is they shake. They shake to the point that sometimes I couldn't distinguish what exactly was behind me. I knew there was a vehicle, but the distortion from the vibration prohibited me from getting a clear view of exactly what was behind us. Impressions - they worked for our trip but I knew I would want something else for our next long trip, so we invested in a Furrion Reviewing Camera.
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.

The tow mirrors are perfect. They fit well and do exactly what we needed. Customer service was fantastic. I needed the mirrors sooner than the shipping date. I called customer service and the representative was ver accommodating- we received them even sooner than she had said. Have ordered from etrailer before and will continue to do si.
Easy on and off. We use them on a 2017 Ford Edge when we pull out camper.

CIPA Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2
Bought these for a 2016 Nissan Pathfinder. It made towing more comfortable for a a 16 foot aluminum boat that we take with us about 8 hour trip one way. It was easier to monitor blind spots when changing lanes. Adjusting can be a little bit of pain. But overall would recommend if you want mirrors to give a little bit more awareness of where your trailer is.
Hard to fit on my Jeep Gladiator also wish the outer mirrors could move inward

CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clamp On - Qty 2
Great product. The first set of mirrors I received had a flaw -- wasn't able to tighten the clamp sufficiently to grip the car's mirror. Customer service was great in working to replace what wound up being a damaged unit. The replacement came with some foam tape which made a world of difference. Advice: check the parts list before trying to install.
These are great mirrors. They allow me to see around my 8.5' wide cargo trailer. Have had them attached for a year with no problems.

Mirrors vibrated at speeds above 50 mph. I repeated attempted to tighten them but I could barely make out vehicles in the curb side mirror. I replaced them with mirrors that clamp onto the bottom edge of the factory mirrors.
After extensive searching and meticulous scrutiny I chose the K Source trailering mirrors. I chose them because of their design features. The pivots in the mounting arms, the thickness of the arms, the system design using a track guided wide finger to locate n the truck's mirror edge, the width and thickness of the straps to secure the mirrors, and the design and quality of the ratchet and quick release system. I felt certain these were quality mirrors and I would get what I paid for. I mounted them and was very pleased with the ease and rigidness of the installation. I went out and ran down the interstate at 65 mph there was not vibration or shake of the assembly or mirrors. I got home and found the installation was rock solid after the test. I removed the mirrors and found there was no scratching or rub marks on the truck's factory mirrors. I got what I paid for and they are worth every penny. I AM SO PLEASED WITH THESE MIRRORS!!. Thank you very much etrailer.com.

Longview Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver and Passenger Side
Simple design and effective Easy to install but my drivers side didnt fit to my mirror good Upper edge was up. Will function, just not quite right
Once the extenders are attached they work great but getting the passenger side on is a nightmare! Not sure why it's so difficult to get it on.

K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On - Driver and Passenger Side
Out of the box, the mirrors didn't fit properly. I couldn't get the bottom snaps to fit over the edge like they are supposed to. So, I just used a heat gun to slightly soften that area and expanded it just a little. That did the trick. It takes some effort to unlatch the bottom clip so I'm confident the mirrors will not fall off. It's a good design. The actual reflective part of the mirror is easy to adjust and has a greater range of movement than my last mirrors - the ones that fell off. We are looking forward to getting on the road in a couple of weeks for a real test.
I installed these on my 05 chev, they were hard to get snapped on the bottom so I used a small trim tool to pry them out far enough to hook over the edge. It was 30 degrees out when I was installing them and the did not crack so that is a good product. They vibrate going down the road but still better than not know what is behind the trailer.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver Side and Passenger Side
I received the mirrors in a couple days. My only question is how far in from the outside edge of the mirror (step 2 of instructions) should the felt strip be installed? A dimension would be nice on the installation paper The mirrors arrived very well packaged in great shape. I have a set of these mirrors (cipa) on my 2001 ford expedition and I always like how easy they are to put on and take off. The 2014 vehicle that I am putting them on is a lease so I don't want to scratch the truck mirrors that's why a dimension of how far in to put the felt strip would be appreciated. I will be using this truck to pull my travel trailer and these extension mirrors make it so easy to see what I need to see. These mirrors also help when backing my camper up.
I was hoping to fill out a review of my recent interaction with eTrailer but cannot update a previous review or add a new one. I had an issue with some towing mirror extensions that I purchased where one of the mirrors shattered very very easily. Dena contacted me and offered a replacement and subsequently had the new items shipped very quickly. Just want to say thanks to Dena for her awesome customer service and kindness. You rock!

Easy off and on. The fit on my outside rearview mirror is outstanding. Works great with my 24' Thor. The inside edge of the added mirror lines up perfectly with the outside edge of trailer. Very pleased with the product
I like them so much I’ve never taken them off my truck. They do not look like snap on mirrors at all. I have got more compliments on those mirrors than I can count. Ive been a great advertiser for you guys. Lol

CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror - Strap On - Black
Basic product seems good. The suction pads could be a bit better- my MBZ. mirrors are very roundy at the outer edge, and the devise is a bit tricky to tighten enough to seat all 3 pads. Haven't driven with them yet, but hoping they stay put!
Not a good mirror. Second time using it fell off my car and smashed in road. Thank goodness it did not hit another car. The foam pads slid off and you can not get a good grip. I returned and they are sending me same one, because it was after 30 days.

CIPA Universal Fit Dual-View Towing Mirror - Clip-On
Have not been on the road with the product yet but the extended mirrors snapped onto the mirrors of my 2014 Ford Edge very nicely. Looking forward to heading down the road with them.
Pros: Very easy to install. Will fit on almost anything. Cons: Bit of a challenge to adjust the in/out tilt on fixed mirror housings. Would like a little more height, but it's OK. This is a good solution for the casual user like me. Installation is painless. If you need more control over height or tilt, this is not for you.

K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On - Driver and Passenger Side
Low cost way to extend mirrors. Does not interfere with mirror movement at all. Also still keeps turn signal visible. Only removed 1 star as it is easy to scratch the plastic on the edge of the mirror housing facing the window when installing or removing the mirrors.
These fit my f150 perfectly. I went with this mirror extension because other mirror types don't permit the full functionality of my power mirrors. Also these don't vibrate in use and are easy to apply and remove.

I purchase the mirrors to use for towing a camper that I bought. I could not see around the camper with my stock mirrors on my Ford it took me about 2 minutes to put these mirrors on they look awesome. I hooked up to my camper I can see straight down both sides with plenty of room on both sides. I can now change lanes on the interstate without sticking my head out the window and I can back up into my camping spot without having to have somebody flag me in. I would definitely recommend these mirrors to anybody looking for tow mirrors to add to their Factory mirrors you cannot beat the price or the ease in which these mirrowa go on. They come in a nice carry bag if you don't want to leave them on but I'm personally just going to leave mine on they look factory.
Just what I've been looking for. I pull a 8x10 enclosed trailer for my ultralight plane. I was afraid the mirrors would be too small but with the 2007 ford mirrors already being large these add on mirrors worked great. They slipped on so easy and can't come off. Excellent product and reasonably priced. I read the reviews on products before I purchase them. I'm a police officer so I'm suspicious the reviews might be made up. You can bet that this review is truthful and it's a good product or I wouldn't have taken the time to do a review.

Pictures of the mirrors in action, fits are perfect! They look way better than the extendable tow mirrors that are factory. They also let the auto fold function on the mirrors fold just fine.
Fit is perfect; very good size mirrors; look better than the Ford extenables; I can take them off when not needed; lets the turn signals show through; the auto fold mirror function works with them on; very easy to put on and remove; look good on even a KING RANCH!

Great option for a mirror extension that fits snug onto your existing mirror. Does not come off without effort because the positioning nut secures it (unlike the flimsy suction cup arm mirrors).

Fit is great no issues

K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Flat Mirror - Qty 2
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.
The mirrors are fast to install, detach and store. The first time I used the mirrors, they tended to become loose. The instructions said to make sure the mounting straps were on very tight and once I tightened the straps, this problem went away.
