K-Source Universal Towing Mirror - Clip On - Convex Mirror - Qty 1
These mirrors are good, but not great. I bought these because nothing else fits my 2004 Ford Expedition. They allow me to see around my trailer much better than the factory mirrors, but the have a slight vibration driving down the road. They also make a very noticeable noise from the wind going between the factory mirror and this product. Finally, one of the straps came off when I tightened it a bit too much, but didn't break. The picture below was done in humor (I took my trailer through a drive through, thought it was really funny, and had to take a picture. The picture is a good shot of the mirrors.)
I've compared these KS3891 clip-ons with at least one of the snap-on variety (KS81600), and found this clip-on product with larger mirrors, that can adjust tall or wide, offers a significantly broader view on both sides of the vehicle, which is the most important peforrmance aspect for me. However, there are installation and fit issues with my 1999 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer Series with contoured mirrors. - The passenger side mirror housing of the Ford has a slightly different shape than the driver side, causing the lower left KS3891 clamp to not fit snug to my passenger side mirror. See photos attached. While the driver side KS3891 fits tightly and parallel to my truck mirror, without movement, the left side is prone to a bit more slippage and doesn't feel as secure. The round contour of my mirrors may pose further problems given the front clamp is not fully engaged on the passenger side. I'm confident the driver side is secure, but the passenger side... will it stay on? Time will tell. - The KS3891 front clamps are thick, and make contact with the Ford mirror glass, impeding my ability to fully adjust my Ford mirrors in certain directions. - As others have noted, the upper ratchet straps are plastic (only the lower straps are rubber). Since I have to really ratchet these tightly on my rounded mirrors, seems clear to me that these will wear out sooner than later. - The upper straps make contact with the upper Ford mirror housing - see photo - and would certainly start leaving their mark if not protected. I added felt tabs to address this - a simple fix. - These never go on in exactly the same position, and are more clunky than the stylish snap-on KS81600, but ultimately, the KS3891s seem to provide the best, broadest view on both sides of the vehicle, so I'm going to stick with them, and hope they stay on securely and without vibration, especially on the passenger side.

CIPA Universal Fit Dual-View Towing Mirror - Clip-On
These fit fine n my 2012 Ford Expedition, but the quality of the mirrors themselves was horribly bad. The outer mirror was fine, but the large inner mirror vibrates annoyingly with just the engine running and is totally unusable going down the road. They would be ok for backing up, but not for going down the road.
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.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Passenger Side
I have just recieved my mirrors and am very pleased so far, they seem to fit very nice and snug with the spacer bar that fits in side the shell to lock in place, once you slide it into place. the instructions were very easy to follow, I had to make a guess that the strip of felt went on the bracket that slides against the mirror, the instructions did not say where it went. As the instructions say, it does make a little scuff mark, so clean and wax your mirror first as they suggest. I am also very pleased at the way they look on the truck, so look at my pictures and see what you think. I have not as of yet driven anywere yet to see how they are in the wind, but I feel by the way they fit all should be good.
See my review of the drivers side mirror...

CIPA Universal Towing Mirror - Clip On - Qty 1
Great Value!!!!! Works with signal mirrors on 2007 Expedition, simple to install and remove, large mirror area compared to other universal fit mirrors. I really like them! They do vibrate a little, but that is easy to fix once you have them adjusted to your mirrors.

CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror - Clamp On - Adjustable Length - Steel
Wow! Great mirrors. I used one for each of the mirrors on my 04 Ford Expedition. These mirrors are made of top quality materials, with quality manufacturing. They work like a dream. Little to no vibration even at freeway speeds 55-60. Once adjusted, and secured, no movement. Thank you CIPA!
The instructions were simple, the mirrors were very easy to install and fit really well.

CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror - Strap On - Black
A quality item in comparison. We have an expedition, and there’s no form-fitted mirrors for this, so I went through three other pairs before finding this one, the others all broke within a year, but these are going strong. The teardrop shape helps prevent them from vibrating and wobbling on the highway. The glass is a little smaller than similar designs, but it’s a good trade off for being able to see, and having some level of confidence it’s not going to break off and tumble down the highway.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Passenger Side
Mirrors worked as intended and advertised. They move with the wind or bumps. Could use more straps or something else to hold in place better.
I already had the driver side mirror and needed the one for the passenger side. I have tried several extension mirrors but the CIPA is far better and stays put better than any add-ons. I really like the CIPA towing mirrors and the price is right also.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Passenger Side
I received 2 orders now from Etrailer, one I did online and one soeaking with their agent and both arrived fast and as ordered! Great job very satisfied with product as well! Thank you!
Rather on the high side on cost but they are easy it install and remove. Field of vision is not what it could be but better than the mirrors on the truck.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Passenger Side
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).
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.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Passenger Side
Great product for the price. I ordered the pair for my 2016 Silverado. package arrived in good shape, no problems. Easy to install and fit as designed, nice appearance. Only glitch was the passenger side mirror had a minor defect in the reflective surface. Notified etrailer and was promptly taken care of - received a replacement mirror in short order with free return. Very impressed. The passenger mirror view is a little small for me but otherwise acceptable. I previously ordered / received a Curt trailer hitch with same satisfaction. Would definitely recommend this company.
I spent many hours online looking for trailer mirrors when I came across the CIPA mirrors for my 2015 Silverado C1500. We tow a Jayco 26BHSW and absolutely love these mirrors. Our first trip with them was a 1500 mile trek from Louisville to Hilton Head and they performed without a hitch. We both highly recommended these mirrors.
