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.

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the CIPA Universal Towing Mirror. Now this is available at etrailer.com as a single unit with part number 7070, and it's also available as a two-pack with part number 7070-2. The towing mirror simply mounts on your factory side-view mirror and extends your line of sight. This allows you to safely and easily change lanes, back up, pass, and park while towing a trailer or a camper. It's designed to really help increase overall visibility of both the road and your trailer. It features the nice adjustable arms which gives it that universal design, so that way you can fit most car and truck applications, and it comes with the rubber straps and clips which allow for a secure fit and a vibration-free ride.The textured strap makes it easy to adjust, and prevents loosening over time.
So basically, this portion here fits onto your factory mirror, the strap goes behind the mirror, mounts to the clip on the bottom, and then you can adjust the strap to tighten it. Again, both arms are designed to move at this pivot point, and then also at the mirror pivot point, which gives it a lot of adjustability. Again, universal design. Also, the mirror itself features the ball and socket joint. This lets you adjust the angle of the mirror so you can get the perfect angle for your application.
The mirror face is able to tilt and pivot 360 degrees, so you can have it in the upright configuration, you can have it angled, you can have it to the side, but again this rotates all the way around because of that ball and socket joint. It's a really nice design.Again, universal design, tool-free installation. The mirror face itself, from this point here to this point here, we can see that the mirror face is about seven and a half inches by five inches, and then each strap measures 12 and 1/4 inch long by 3/4 of an inch wide. That's going to do it for today's look at the CIPA Universal Towing Mirror.

The mirrors were extremely easy to put on,and worked wonderful.I would purchase again they were shipped out quickly. They have earned a return customer. 570327

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.

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: bing07/30/2014
mounted right on perfect fit on my 2011 escape 143384
still use them every weekend still holding up and working great
bing - 07/30/2015by: 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: Jon06/26/2009
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

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

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
by: 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: 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

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: 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: Ken H.06/15/2018
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

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

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

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.

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: 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: Don03/17/2018
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
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: Nicole/Jon C10/10/2017
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

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

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
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: 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: Kipp C.01/04/2011
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

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

by: Robert01/21/2019
Have not used yet. Needed mirror extensions when pulling camper. Will use this spring and summer. Was shipped quickly, and no damage to the packaging. Reasonable pricing if works as described. Can not find instructions for mounting, but seems self explanatory. etrailer indicates no instructions from manufacture. 599125

The mirrors work as described. They fit my 2017 renegade and stayed in place while driving. Very fast delivery! Thanks 584855
by: Bill11/10/2018
The mirrors are easy to install but do shake in the wind quite a bit on the highway, making it hard to see while driving, but they work great when maneuvering. I use them occasionally 581770

Very fast and accurate service. Thank you very much 579042
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.

Easy to install...takes for ever to adjust...would not recommend. 525278

My first choice would be extendable mirrors made for my vehicle but since they are not available, these mirrors are a good alternative. 517063
