CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver Side and Passenger Side
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!
Ordered replacement trailer mirrors. Exactly the same as what I had. Arrived in a timely manner.

Longview Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver and Passenger Side
This mirror extension set was extremely easy to install on my Chevy Silverado. It looks good and seems like it will work well. I have my RV hooked up but haven’t tried them out on the highway. I will be watching for how secure they are at 70 mph. My only surprise was the design on the back side. I expected them to be just plain textured plastic. It’s ok though.
Impressed with the mirrors. They fit well, are fairly stable at speed. Already one year, they still are holding up. Two complaints: 1. They don't have a screw adjustment to tighten down the mirrors. They do get looser with time. 2. They don't have a cutout for the puddle lamp. Even a scored area would have been nice so I could drill my own hole.

K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On - Driver and Passenger Side
love the quality and ease of installation, however they don't fit. I called my sales rep back. Quinn did some research and hopefully found a pair of mirrors that will fit.
I ordered the clip-on mirrors hoping they would work with my 2016 Chevrolet Silverado. When UPS dropped of the package I was surprised to see that the mirrors arrived in good shape and undamaged. The mirrors weren't shipped in a typical box within a shipping box, just the mirror box. That being said, the mirrors fit perfect and after having my wife do some adjusting on the passenger side mirror they worked just fine. I did a test drive today towing our travel trailer and the mirrors provide the view I need to safely tow our trailer. As you can see in the photos, the mirrors look real nice on my Silverado. I want to thank Michelle S. who helped me with ordering the correct mirrors for my truck. I am delighted with the appearance and the usefulness of the mirrors. I would order again from etrailer.com.

Longview Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver and Passenger Side
These mirrors helped tremendously when towing my Micro Minnie travel trailer versus stock mirrors on my GMC SIERRA 1500. The extended mirrors enabled to better determine when it was safe to move back into my lane after passing a vehicle and allowed me to see better the vehicles behind trailer. Although there was an occasional slight vibration in the passenger side mirror, it did not disrupt the usability of the mirrors. The towing mirrors took only a minute or two to install and fit perfectly on the stock mirrors. Adjusting them properly takes a little more time and is easier when a second person helps. I am extremely pleased with this purchase!
Unbelievably fast shipping and exactly what i was looking for with out spending 500 bucks on factory tow mirrors this is a great product

K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors - Electric/Heat w LED Signal - Textured Black - Pair
Installed successfully on 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, replacing factory mirrors that were power adjustable and heated - no turn signal. Motorized mirror adjustments worked fine. Haven't tested heated mirror yet. Since I did not previously have turn signals in my mirrors, the turn signals did not work on these as expected. May look into a way to make them work later, but no big deal. One improvement that could be made on these mirrors. The manufacturer is aware that the factory mirrors use 3 bolts, and these use 4. It would be nice if they would have included a nut for the 4th bolt, so I wouldn't have had to go search for one. One good thing, on my truck the hole was already there for the 4th bolt, so I didn't have to drill. Taking a trip tomorrow, so will see how they perform on the road. So far as what I have seen, I am happy with this purchase. I have used etrailer in the past and have always been happy with the products they offer.
Adjustable mirror fell out of mount on drivers side. Hanging by wires. Wind on highway blew mirror out.

K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors - Electric/Heat - Textured Black - Pair
The mirror actually fell out of the housing during shipment. I looked inside the housing and it looked very cheaply made. That is unacceptable for a mirror costing $[XX]+ so I returned them for refund.
They look good I know I will be able to see around my trailer. It took longer to install on my serra sle as I had to remove door panels. The passenger side drages bad extending and retracting.how about dry lube.

K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Pair
They will not stay on the mirrors for a 2023 Grand Cherokee. After very careful installation they fell off because the shape of the mirror is rounded and you cannot get a good grip to hold the mirror on
I was very disappointed these mirrors were shipped in a thin display box without a cardboard box to protect them. I have attached a photo of the box bottom. Mirrors appear to be ok but not sure I would chance ordering anything more from you.

K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Convex Mirror - Qty 2
They were easy to install (once you figure out where the strap release button is located) and worked like a charm! I drive a 2017 Suburban and towed a Keystone Bullet (about 8 1/2’ wide and 30’ long) 160 miles today without any issues. The mirrors are not what I’d call pleasing to the eye, but they certainly provided an additional 18” of span, enabling me to look down the sides of the trailer and see cars behind me.
These are working out great! I'm now a wiz at putting them on too. They're great quality, sturdy and snug fitting. Very happy.

K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On - Driver and Passenger Side
The fit is perfect and they look very nice. We are heading out on our first camping trip with them in a week. It appears they are going to be a great addition to the safety of towing our Airstream.
These are excellent towing mirrors. I also have a set for my F150. Quick, easy installation. They look like they could be OEM. They have a tight fit and remain stable. There is minimal vibration even at highway speeds.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver Side and Passenger Side
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.

K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors - Manual - Textured Black - Pair
I bought tow mirrors a year ago from etrailer.com and I couldn't ask for more they have held up very well and am pleased to recommend them.
From purchase to product installation And fit, this product and company is top notch. Great communication throughout and Customer Service is amazing as well. Please note: you DO NOT have to remove door panels to install the manual mirror on the 2500 HD. Pull the top corners of the door panel and remove the small push screw in the upper trim cover on both sides. Pull the upper trim piece off and install the new mirror. Be sure to lip the trim as you go during reinstallation of the trim...then press into place and snap the top corners of the door panel in. This procedure will take about 15 minutes. Thanks Etrailer!

So-so construction and design. With one modification they're more than acceptable. The arms and straps will slip and loosen if installed on triangular or tapered housings. Mirrors that have backs nearly parallel to the mirror face, and have upper and lower mirror edges that are nearly parallel are not affected. Adding a peel and stick plastic wall hanger to a tapered housing will stop the strap from slipping and loosening. The ball and socket mount is good and tight, but the stud on the ball is loose in the arm. I think most of the jitter and vibration others report is from this sloppy clearance that the stud screw can't tighten enough. I'll be addressing that as well. A nice option for those of us that a) don't tow a majority of the time and don't want full time extended mirrors, and/or b) tow with multiple vehicles and prefer to have adjustability to fit our 'fleet'.
I ordered these for a 2023 Tundra after being advised to do so. The straps seem to be too short and to get them attached I'm really stretching then out and they're difficult to mount. I'm concerned they're going to pull off with so much tension and very little strap left threading through the tensioner.

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.
BUYER BEWARE!!!!!! I had great hopes for these mirrors. They look great. They appear to be very adjustable right out package. They fit on my Tacoma securely. They don't interfere with the function of the stock mirrors. Everything was moving along "swimmingly". Then I sit inside my truck to do the final adjustment (moving the actual mirror to get the correct setting and lock it into the "sweet spot"). The new Mirror is very stiff...doesn't want to move. Well, its new...so....Okay, I don't want to ruin anything...so.... No worries, I go get a phillips screwdriver to loosen the back screw a smidge so the friction adjustment can work . Come back start to back the screw out just a smidge...nope...still can't adjust the...wait...unscrew some more....that's not an adjustment screw at all. That just screws directly into the back of the mirror to hold it solidly in place. Worse yet, There is no friction mechanism on the back of the mirror at all. It is one solid piece of plastic. The molded plastic replicates the look as if it has the ability to move, but in reality....There is no way to do small mirror corrections once you have this thing installed. What the Actual people?????!!!!!!???? If you can't do minor adjustments to the mirror while you are in the vehicle, then the mirror is completely useless. I wouldn't recommend this product to my worst enemy. It's a piece of crap. DO NOT BUY!!!! A complete waste of time, money, and shipping costs. Now, I have to incur more shipping costs to send this POS back to etrailer. Hey, etrailer....Do Better next time!!!!

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.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver Side and Passenger Side
Buy these! You won't be disappointed! This is my second set of towing mirrors and I have to say that these are far superior to my previous set in the way that they "lock" in place and don't slip around. My only comment is that each mirror comes with a small plastic shim to make the locking possible. It would be nice if the mfg would come up with a way to make a storage cradle in each mirror for the part when not in use. Otherwise, it could be easy to lose which would make the mirrors pretty useless.
The mirrors were shipped and arrived extremely quickly. The directions for installation were straight forward and took all of 5 minutes to install. The mirrors fit my 2010 Silverado 1500 like a glove. I'm looking forward to putting them to plenty of good use in the months to come.

CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirrors - Strap On - Qty 2
I bought these mirrors to use on our 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I used them just a couple of times and have decided to look for something else. Despite my best efforts and watching (and re-watching) the online video that shows them being mounted on my exact vehicle, I found that the soft pads that grip the back of the mirror could not keep the mirror in place for more than 30 minutes or so. It was warm (mid-80s) when I used the mirrors and the heat seemed to let the pads slip too much. I tried several different positions and adjusted the tension straps carefully, but no luck. They seem pretty well made and may well work well on other vehicles, but they just don't work with my Jeep GC.
Honda Odyssey 2010 is what these mirrors are used for by me. Once I get them positioned where I want them, which was quite the project the first time, they work fine, giving driver critically necessary views of our A-line trailer. After a period of driving, though, their position shifts, they start to sag, they simply cant hold on tight enough to the half-melted-bar-of-soap aero-shape of our Honda mirrors. Not the fault of CIPA, it IS a universal fit it says. Some fits will be better than others. There are no mirrors I could find dedicated to 09 - 11 Honda Odysseys. These work, don't get me wrong, and I'll keep using them, since there's nothing else available, but it took a while to discover the routine that gets them mounted where they stand half a chance to last a trip. The tension locking knobs are a righteous pain in the patooty. I would say to look long and hard for a mirror made specifically for your application before you buy these. If nothing is available, well... OK, maybe these will work for you. So far they have for me, once I got it all figured out.

Just installed them and tried. It would be great if they did not vibrate that much; unfortunately they do; so we will have to find a way to improve it.
Perfect fit ty.

K-Source Custom Blind Spot Mirrors - Driver and Passenger Side
Flange on bottom prevents you from mounting mirrors in center. The mirror hangs below the bottom of the factory mirror assembly making it look very odd and out of place.
Good blind spot coverage. Fadt shipping.

2019 Honda RidgelineA nice alternative for temporary mirrors for trailer hauling. They didn't interfere with the remote mirror adjustment on the factory installed outside mirrors and held securely once adjusted. I used them on a 2019 Honda Ridgeline.
We needed these extended mirrors on our van when pulling our camper. They fit perfect on our 2014 E250. Husband was very happy with the added rear vision they provide. The mirrors stayed put and adjusted even on the interstate. Great purchase!

K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On - Driver and Passenger Side
Haven’t used them to tow yet, but they snap on seamlessly and appear to hold strong. Looks OEM. I’m sure if there are any vibrations some extra strips of insulation tape will sure things up. Extremely fast shipping. E-trailer for the win.
These K-Source Snap on Towing Mirrors (from etrailer - Item# KS81300) fit perfectly on my 2020 Toyota Tundra. I feel much safer now, driving & towing my camper. They provide a better view of vehicles behind me (Interstate & Highway) & they help when backing the camper into a small RV lot (especially the ones with lots of trees). I'm glad I purchased these Custom Towing Mirrors. They are exactly as advertised (in product listing), easy to snap on & off & they are a great value for what you get.
