Today we're going to be taking a look at part number 7070. This is the CIPA Clip-On Towing Mirror. The towing mirror is going to mount to your factory mirror. It's got the nice, adjustable straps that are going to come around the back side of your factory mirror, snap into the clip right here on the upper arm for a nice, secure fit. Those are adjustable. Those straps are going to give you an overall length of 14 inches.
This is a universal design, so it's designed to fit most car and truck applications. The arms and the straps are going to adjust. The arms right here are going to have two pivoting points: you're going to have one here at the back side of the housing. It's going to allow those lower arms to adjust, and then you're going to have a pivot point here at the upper arm on each side, so they will move independently of one another. Again, universal design, so these are designed to fit a variety of applications. The straps are made from a nice rubber construction, so it's not going to damage the finish on the back side of your factory mirror.
Towing mirrors are going to help increase visibility by extending your line of sight. It's going to make it a lot easier to pass, park and change lanes while towing. If we take a look at the mirror face dimensions real quick, this is going to give us a width of about four and three quarters of an inch, and a length of about seven and one quarter of an inch. The mirror face is fully adjustable, so you can have it positioned in any way that you want. It's going to rotate 360 degrees, so you can get the angle that you want, and you can tilt it as necessary. It's just simply mounted on a ball and socket mechanism back here, so it allows for very easy and simple adjustability if needed. The way that this works, all you have to do is size this up, manipulate the arms a little bit, to fit your factory-installed mirror.
It's got these clips that are going to go into the groove, or that spacing that runs around the factory mirror, so you get those in place. Simply bring the straps over the back side of your factory mirror, snap them into place. You can make adjustments if needed. I did find it easier to take the strap all the way off and make adjustments if needed. That's where you can loosen it or tighten it, and then just run that strap back through the buckle system.
Then just hook it in place on that upper arm. This can be installed on either side of your vehicle, so you can flip it over if needed. With this part number you're going to get one towing mirror, so if you need one for each side of your vehicle, then you'll need to purchase two of these part numbers. That's going to do it for our review of part number 7070. This is the CIPA Clip-On Universal Towing Mirror. .

Not for 2015 Highlander. These seem like nice mirrors and I wish I could use them but in my opinion, they do not work for a 2015 Toyota Highlander. I bought them based on an answered question that they would work. Three (or two) major problems. First the shape of the Highlander mirror is such that the thickest part is closest to the car and it gets progressively more narrow towards the outer end. That means there is nothing to keep the straps from sliding off - it might be OK for short distances. It needs some kind of keeper system. Second, the strap is only just barely long enough to engage the buckle at the fattest part of the mirror. There is not enough through the buckle to stop it from slipping out. A longer strap would work here. Third, part of the highlander mirror is very close to the edge of the housing - I can't confirm if that is really a problem and it might depend on how the individual driver adjusts the mirror. I never really got one attached well enough that I would trust driving with it. I have found no other alternative mirrors that work. 206897

I had read the mixed reviews about this mirror, took my chances and bought a pair of them. The one I placed on the driver's side was fine; the one on the passenger side, however, was magnified almost to the point of being useless (one of the reviewers from Aug 2012 mentioned this). I thought the passenger side one was defective and was about to call etrailer. But then I decided to try them on both sides, and lo and behold the one on the driver's side was normal and the one on the passenger side was over-magnified. So it would seem that the farther you get from this mirror the more magnification you get. They vibrated quite a bit at highway speed but not intolerably so. etrailer has always been great with speedy delivery with no mistakes on my orders, and I don't fault them, but this is a product I think they should consider discontinuing -- unless, of course, all clip-on mirrors also have this magnification problem. I don't have anything to compare them with. 395261

EXCELLENT SERVICE!!! Great company to work with. Product received as described and works perfectly. I installed them on my 02 Dodge Ram in five minutes flat. No problems at all!! Ordering was easy, even upgraded me from 5-7 day shipping to 3-5 day shipping FOR FREE, I have never had a company do that before. Its nice to work with a company that actually has customer service, you just don't see that very often in this day and age. Great job Etrailer.com keep up the great work. You've gained a customer for life. 4977

This mirror was absolutely useless. It is the wrong style mirror to use for towing as it zooms in on what you are looking at. Instead of being able to see what is going on around your trailer, this mirror zooms in to a 4ftx4ft area and doesn't let you see anything at all. It ended up being more of a distraction when I would look to my mirrors to make a lane change and see a zoomed in picture of the side of the road. I took it off after 400 miles into our 2000 mile trip and tossed it in the back of the car. 51439

Ok for occasional use I've had a set for less than a year, used once last year, and about three times this year. They vibrate quite a lot and don't hold on as well as I would like. The rubber straps are starting to crack. Large mirror area is a plus. If you are only using them occasionally, they are good. If you are using them more often and leaving them on the vehicle for more than a day or so (i.e. long road trips), look for something a bit more robust. 2056

This was purchased for a Dodge 3500 pickup to extend past the sides of my camper. I was told that this was the only mirror that would work on a 3500. The mirror is held in place by two rubber straps which were rather short and required taping of the ends to keep them from popping off. They only extend to mirror about two inches. The service and delivery time From E-Trailer has always been great!! 224111

I bought these for a 2008 FJ Toyota. With it's square mirrors and oddly placed marker lights I wasn't sure how well these would work. When mounting I extended the straps almost to their limits and crisscrossed them. I wish they extended out a bit farther but they are secure and worked well. A strong four stars. 178282

The Clip-On Towing Mirror provides safety and convenience. When we are lucky enough to get away, this great invention supplies safety while towing our R-Pod. And the rest of the time the Highlander doesn't have an appendage that presents a problem in everyday driving (crowded parking places, etc.). 361314

It was extremely easy making the purchase after watching the video of the mirrors being installed on my exact vehicle. Shipping was fast and mirrors work exactly like they said haven't used them on the road yet. This is my fourth purchase from etrailer would definitely recommend them. 287394

Thumbs up on the tow mirror. Your website indicated the mirror was compatible with my 2015 Ram truck and it fits perfectly!!! Delivered in about 5 days with nominal shipping charge. I've made several purchases from Etrailer. Excellent service at a good price!! Thanks, Larry M 365267

They are a good idea and we used them for awhile but the connectors conflicted with adjusting the stock electric mirrors on our 2006 Lexus GX470 tow truck. I was afraid I'd burnout the mirror motors especially when you put the transmission in reverse and the mirrors move lots. 244079

Could be a little bigger. Does the job and good price. Quick to install. No instructions but you'll figure it out unless you are a moron. Loosen all the screws just a bit. Get the mirrors perfect then tighten the screws TIGHT. Lets me see back with the camper on waaay better. 309885
by: Campergirl05/23/2017
East to install, straps just fit my suv mirrors, stayed put, only little jiggles. Re past comment: backing up mirrors tilt down (read instr manual) can turn feature off! My experience was easy, of quality and helped my travel a lot. Shipping was quick! Thank you etrailer! 383893
by: debbie06/04/2016
first, let me say that this does fit my 2007 jeep grand Cherokee but the mirror itself is rather small and doesn't help a whole lot. Still, every little bit of added vision is far safer than none at all and I do not regret my decision to purchase a pair of these mirrors. 256794
these mirrors do not make noise while driving but I found they really do not stick out far enough to be very helpful while towing my particular trailer...still, they have held up well
debbie - 06/06/2017by: Rich11/11/2007
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. 478

I received the trailer mirrors on the date in which stated. The quality of the mirrors are great and easy to use. I highly recommend etrailer.com - the quality assurance and follow up to make sure you receive your order is excellent. 369957
by: john w.07/24/2011
I bought these for my Honda Pilot and towed a pop-up camper about 700 miles to the white mountains, highway and back roads. The mirrors were a little bouncy but they stayed put and didn't need re-adjusting. very good for the money. 20101
by: Mike B01/20/2017
Could not find anything specific for my Ford Ranger, so these were as close to working as possible. Tried one on and seems like they will work. Website great, service great, fast shipping with regular $.$$ rate. Highly recommend 334060
by: Steve R.07/22/2012
Nice mirrors. Quick and easy to install on our GMC Acadia. Of course they vibrate at highway speed. What else could you expect from a rubber strapped mirror at 60mph ? They're working very well for us. 48845

The towing side mirror extensions for my Toyota Highlander attached and worked just like demonstrated in the website video. As a bonus the cost was equal or less than other "discount" websites. 359421
by: Stuart Drobny02/14/2012
i used the mirrors once when i pulled my cargo trailer and i could see clealy behind me. they stayed on when i drove down the hiway. these are a great product to use thank you e-trailer. 31852
by: wd05/17/2017
Works perfect on my 2007 silverado 2500hd. I've had the more expensive mirrors that don't give as good of a view as these mirrors do. Turning the mirrors vertical work best for me. 381701
by: G.Hofmann08/29/2016
Easy install and adjustment, just wish there were the slip on type for my Durango, I would have bought them instead. But for as often as I use them, the clip-ons will be fine! 289022
by: Mark05/30/2012
Worked pretty good. Wish it extended a little farther. It shakes a little but it's good enough to see a semi coming along side. Now I need to order one for the passenger sede. 42026

Great product, simple to install. I even installed them while the vehicle was wet, still no problems. I will recommend this outfit to my friends and family. 25835
by: Steve B10/25/2016
Mirror works as designed. It seems to fit most mirrors. It works on the mirrors for my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder, 2006 Jeep Liberty and my 2016 Toyota Tacoma. 310522
by: Dick S04/13/2012
I think these are great, easy to put on strapes could be a little longer 1 or 2 inches a little short for my 2006 ford mirrors but do fit. 37086

Well priced product and simple to put on & take off. Dealing with etrailer also very easy with reasonable prices for products & shipping. 45799

Clips don't quite fit between the car mirror and the car mirror frame. We haven't taken them out on the road yet. May have more later. 388438
by: Catherine S.05/29/2013
Thank you for asking, I haven't been out on the rode yet, but I do have it in place and am happy with that. So far, so good. 82472

The product I purchased fits my Chrysler Aspen perfectly, shipping was quick and painless, and pricing was very reasonable. 256437

Installed okay on my 2006 Tacoma. Slight vibration but not too bad. Good product, fits my temporary needs well. 30983

Works on my 2015 Ford Escape. Not a perfect fit but nobody seems to make an extended mirror for this car. 361586
by: Rick02/28/2008
Great for the money! They work fine for me. I think if you have a harsh riding truck they may vibrate some. 645
by: Dustin09/04/2012
They work good, vibrate a little. Not many choices for Toyota Tacoma, I dont know what would be better... 53967
by: Bill09/10/2015
Work pretty good. Vibrate a lot and shift view with any moderate speed. But will do the basic job OK. 224880
by: Gene M08/04/2016
Perfect fit for my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The ability to adjust the mirrors is what sold me. 279440
by: Scott06/12/2016
These get the job done and are low price but they don't always stay put on he Subaru Outback. 260655
by: AJ05/10/2012
Does not fit well on my truck, mirror shakes so much at highway speeds its practically useless 39884
by: Dennis05/16/2016
These were easy to install but the mirrors vibrate a small amount while on the road. 250461

Mirrors vibrated too much. Would recommend something with stiffer arms. 341452
