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
I just wrestled the mirror extensions on. I'm a bit concerned about the 'keeper' screw, it has quite a bit of tension on it. How long am I covered if it breaks? Is it easily available if it does? I'm also not thrilled about the lower edge, it juts down 3/4" past the actual mirror housing. The padding on the bottom of the extensions isn't touching anything, it's about 7/16" - 1/2" from the mirror housing. Please take a look at the pics attached, maybe I have them on wrong...

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.

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

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.

Works great. They do work with the F150 mirrors that have the turn signals on the outside edge of the mirror. You just can't see the turn signal with the towing mirrors installed. Fit is excellent, no rattling or vibration. Easy 5 minutes installation.

I have used them several times, I don't use them often enough to say that how durable they are but they've been on and off several times and have performed perfectly. Quality of the product is good and I see many more years of use of out of them.
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.

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 price is right and they are definitely secure and not going to fly off. That being said I did add some foam tape to the inside fwd edge for a snugger fit. I do wish the threaded securement piece was about a 1\2 in longer but overall a great mirror for the money.
They were delivered expeditiously, went right on as per the instructions and they are fully adjustable so I can now see both sides of the trailer when straight. It is a 8.5 foot wide enclosed car trailer. All good here.

I like these but I would have given them 4.5 stars if possible and I'll explain below. The shipping was fast. They arrived in good shape. Right out of the box the construction didn't inspire confidence, these are lightweight. They slide on horizontally to the OEM mirror & fit snuggly, then a wedge is tightened in place between the tow mirror and the OEM mirror to prevent the tow mirror from sliding back off. The tow mirrors are easy to install and from a short distance look better than some of the other "clamp-on" styles. A plus! I have tried these a couple of times at speeds of up to 80mph (we can do that in Idaho), and yes, I don't plan to tow a trailer that fast but a strong headwind would easily exceed an 80 or 90mph effective speed. (we get that in Idaho too) During the tests they performed well, never loosened, no noticeable vibrations in the view. I was impressed. Overall, I would buy these again and recommend to a friend.
I had the mirrors for about four months and one of the mirrors just fell off was not happy. Obviously it shattered on the ground. The adhesive is very cheap on them called customer service. They sent me out a new one, but was told this happens quite often with those. I think the adhesive Hass to be better.
What our customers are saying:
"Great experience. Product was easy to find. Installation was easy. Great price also. Highly recommend!"
