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
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.
I bought the trailer mirrors for my Jeep Grand Cherokee to pull my pull behind trailer. See pictures. The mirrors attach easily and securely and shake very little when driving. I need them mostly when backing up and I can see where the trailer tires are going. The mirrors do not adjust easily but when you do they stay in place. What I especially like is the size of the mirrors and having two independent mirrors.

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.
The good: inexpensive; decent quality materials The bad: doesn't hold it position very well during extensive or high speed travel - you have to readjust at nearly every stop for gas on a trip. Conclusion: It is worth the money due to its fair price.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Driver Side
The mirrors help me tow our Lance trailer safely. The adjustable mirrors benefited with a touch of dry lubricant on the joint inside the housing. Emily at etrailer was very helpful!
First set had a factory defect. The hole for the tension knob was not threaded. Replacement sent was also a defect, the mirror panel swivel was un-adjustable. Spend the extra money and get the correct OEM ones for your vehicle.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Driver Side
I'm not completely disappointed but unsure. When ordered, specific to 2011-2017 Expedition, this came up as fitting. When box arrived, I was shocked to see a label on box saying fits Ram Pick-up trucks! I went to CIPA website immediately for their fitment chart, thinking the wrong part was sent. Turns out CIPA doesn't make a specific mirror to mount on my vehicle. They do mount and I can "rig" them to work, but there are gaps, loose areas, etc. At $50 for (1) mirror at driver's side that is a bit much seeing as they fit perfectly on those RAM truck mirrors. etrailer website is deceiving customers in saying these mirrors fit my vehicle. Here again, if I paid $30 okay, but I paid $50 total for a mismatch, even supported by manufacturer. I hate sending things back and barely ever do, but this stinks and I have bought tons of stuff from etrailer.com.
They are very easy to install and remove when parked for extended periods. Costumer service was very helpful with getting me the correct marrows.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Passenger Side
This passenger side tow mirror has the same problem that the tow mirror it replaced had. It is extremely difficult to adjust the mirror the right angle to see down the side of my trailer probably. When trying to adjust it, the mirror just pops to a new position. Most times way too far. I finally got it close and just squeezed on the edge that needed to move some more but to over all mirror angle moved then.. After quite a bit of effort I gave up. If I crook my neck and lower my shoulder just right I can see if there is a vehicle back there but thats not good. The driver's side tow mirror adjusts very smoothly and holds position. I recommend you just buy the driver's side mirror and skip this passenger side model.
I got my mirrors within 5 of ordering and took them out to the truck and they slide right on and fit perfect, took all but about 5 mins to open the box and install them. probably some of the best money i ever spent. I have power mirrors on my F150 and didn't interfer with that at all. i highly recommend these mirrors i can see perfect with them hauling our camper down the road.So much better than Ford wanting $1200.00 to replace my mirrors

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.

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!

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 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.
Same thing
What our customers are saying:
