Universal towing mirror clips over your existing side mirror to give you an extended rear view. Dual strap system creates a snug fit. Works on driver's- or passenger's-side mirror. Tool-free installation.
Features:
Specs:
This universal towing mirror extends your view up to 7-1/2" and limits blind spots for safer navigation while changing lanes, passing, backing up, and parking. The mirror face can be manually rotated or tilted to adjust to your preferred viewing angle.
The mirror installs quickly and easily to either the driver's- or passenger's-side factory mirror. Simply clamp the towing mirror arms around your existing mirror housing, and then use the included textured rubber straps to secure the mirror into place for a vibration-free ride.

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
After a year and about 5000 miles of towing my travel trailer, these mirrors are still in good shape, they have never come loose. They strap onto my 2017 Silverado without any problem, but on the drivers side the built-in convex mirror gets mostly covered up, an inconvenience but not a deal breaker. They are still intact despite the extreme shaking, which is something you have to deal with and remember their most basic function: to see if there is traffic in the next lane. Dont expect them to be stable like your stock mirrors. For the price they are a good deal.
Ronster - 06/17/2018Thanks for the follow up, I have provided a link to our custom fit towing mirrors that we currently offer for your 2017 Chevy Silverado. Since your existing mirrors are a universal mirror option, covering the OEM convex portion is an understandable concern. However, a custom fit towing mirror will not cause any obstruction on your OEM mirrors, and will be more secure since they are a custom fit to the profile of your truck mirrors.

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

The box just arrived and was crushed badly, luckily the mirrors were not cracked. I have not put them on yet so I haven't tested them out, but I was just camping and another camper also had this set and he said they worked well....so I think they will be fine. BTW, I bought these instead of an observation camera as 50% of the camera folks said they did not like using and "trusting" the camera.....I figured these mirrors would help me change lanes well enough and they are a lot cheaper than a camera!!!!! 522013

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

Adequate attachments; however, factory mounted extended mirrors would probably be better (as they'd more likely be more secure when driving). Take caution that the elastic straps are secure, they may slip a little and be readjusted. A disadvantage for attaching to the passenger side is the hooks are needed to be secured on the bottom, which seems to contribute to that side mirror's strap slipping more-so than the driver's side. 441485

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

The mirrors are good but on the outside mirrors of a 2010 Chrysler T&C van, the outside strap is hard to keep adjusted tight. Mine haven't slipped to the point of coming off but you can't rely on the previous adjusted positiion as we have other Morris in the past. Mirror loss has to be constantly in your mind. I'll use them until I find better. Thanks. 485765

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

I've been looking for mirror extensions for awhile. There are not a great many out there; however, I finally found the clip on towing mirror that extends and contracts, which is a big help. These are the perfect size for my Nissan Frontier and are soooo easy to install; the video was a bonus. 427600

Product is as advertised. Excellent turn-around as I needed it within 5 days for a trip to drop my daughter off at college. I chose this company because they had a pull-down which had my vehicle (Rav4). When it arrived, I tried it immediately for fit and I think it will work just fine. 466821
by: Don B08/25/2016
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
by: Larry M04/10/2017
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
by: Luigi04/13/2016
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
by: Willybill10/23/2016
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
All good.
Bill D - 10/23/2017by: 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: Robert05/31/2018
Helped, not as much as I thought, but this being the first trailer, may have to fiddle with them to find the right spot. Thanks for getting them to me, they came in the day we went to close the deal and pick it up. Will certainly be back for additional equipment. 514388
by: 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
by: Randy K H08/04/2017
Product received timely and in great condition. Mirror is what I was expecting. Fit is good and quick to install and take off, except the rubber straps are a bit too short. Barely could get them to stretch enough. Could have been and inch or so longer. 414882
by: Robert07/07/2018
Product was exactly what I was ordered and arrived when I expected it . Had one piece that was missing and they took care of the problem immediately to my satisfaction . I will definitely be purchasing any additional items for through etrailer. 539047
by: Jerilyn01/08/2018
the mirrors look good. The weather is so bad I can't try them yet, but hey look as if they will work out ok because they are larger and positioned closer to the factory mirrors thus avoiding confusion between using two mirrors while towing . 465592
by: Rick B04/20/2017
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: William10/26/2017
For the price, this towing Clip-On is great for the short-hall towing I do locally for my small boat and snowmobile trailers. I can use it for the two vehicles I have with hitches very easily: VW Alltrack & Jeep Wrangler. 446185
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
by: Dr Bill03/28/2017
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: Andrew03/20/2018
Good quality product. One of the mirrors arrived broken and these guys replaced it quickly without any hesitation. Good people to do business with. I'll order again from this site. 487127
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
by: Mike M03/15/2011
watched the video installed them without any problem. seems to be a great product. i couldn't find towing mirrors anywhere in my city. etrailer has it all for my towing needs. 9383
by: Dirk W.10/19/2011
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: Wayne02/14/2018
Although I have not tried it on the road at high speed yet it seems to work very well. The attachment seems to be very firm. Prices very reasonable. 475607
by: Dick M07/05/2017
Mirrors are easy to install and adjust. A good value especially if they prevent an accident . Makes switching lanes after passing safer also 401947
by: James07/15/2018
Not the top of the line but works well enough. I believe I was sent 2 left hand mirrors instead of a left and a right. but they will work OK. 542107
The Cipa 7070 Universal Towing Mirror is designed to fit either the driver or passenger side.

Great product at a very reasonable price, fits as states, very pleased, also great customer service. Will keep this site in my favorites. 442710
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
by: Ruth07/23/2018
We ordered extension mirrors for our vehicle to use when we pull our camper. They fit our mirrors perfectly. Can't wait to hit the road. 545042
by: Pat H06/27/2012
Well priced product and simple to put on & take off. Dealing with etrailer also very easy with reasonable prices for products & shipping. 45799
by: Greg06/04/2018
My first choice would be extendable mirrors made for my vehicle but since they are not available, these mirrors are a good alternative. 517063
by: Gerald H06/03/2017
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
by: Joe G06/03/2016
The product I purchased fits my Chrysler Aspen perfectly, shipping was quick and painless, and pricing was very reasonable. 256437
