Custom-Fit Towing Mirrors
Easily extend your field of vision and reduce blind spots with these CIPA slip-on towing mirrors. By adding them to your OEM side-view mirrors, you can see beyond the end of your trailer. This will allow you to safely and easily change lanes, pass, and park with a trailer in tow.
Each of these mirrors is molded to perfectly match the contours of your factory side mirrors. Simply slide the mirrors over your side-view mirrors and use the custom-formed, felt-covered wedges to hold the mirrors in place. Each wedge wraps around the inside edge of your OEM mirror and can be tightened onto the mirror with an easily accessible hand knob.
Slip-on mirrors will fit factory mirrors that look like the mirror in the images above.
Ratings & Reviews
The mirrors fit perfectly and install easily. They fit snug and do not vibrate like strap on type mirrors. The black color matches the black color of my truck's mirrors.
Ordered for my 2013 gmc seirra. Fit great, dont rattle around. I can see passed my camper! Great buy!
This is an excellent product. I had to tow a large/wide trailer to Virginia from Ohio to move my granddaughter for college. With these mirrors I was able to change lanes when necessary without angst as I could clearly see the lane behind me on either side. Great product. Easy to install. They just snap on and fit my truck original mirrors perfectly.
Should work going to travel tomorrow that will be the test
I started using these add-on mirrors 21 days ago and have been on the road ever since covering over 2000 miles. I cannot image how slightly over $50 could be better spent if a trailering mirror and you don't care to spend the change for the factory $400 to 500 items. I am extremely pleased with the purpose.
Fit - perfect (after I overcame my learning disability). Easy "on and off" too.
Looks - plastic, but still looks great and like they belong on the vehicle which is a 2010 Avalanche.
Vibration - very little and not nearly enough to bother. (The more any mirror sticks out, the more subject it will be to vibration due to geometry!)
Attachment - very secure (if its not secure, something has been assembled incorrectly.
Adjustment - manual, of course (remember $50+ for a set) but adequate. A little stiff at first.
Sturdy - Yes, plastic, but robust! Not at all flimsy!
Mirror - It's really a mirror and not a foggy sliver coating sprayed or laminated onto plastic. (If its either it is so well done that it has fooled me.)
Instructions - adequate and accurate, but reading skills of the population is declining including mine. (Maybe there is a YouTube video somewhere!)
I looked at others in local stores, but nothing came close to the utility&quality per dollar these provide even though several cost much more.
Caveat: Don't lose the small mounting for each mirror when mountings/dismounting & storing. (That would be annoying! I store in the original cardboard box from the factory.)
Overall, I can't imagine an improvement that wouldn't involve some kind of compromise in other features or overall utility.
If I should lose or break one (it would have to be carelessness), I will purchase it again.
These mirrors fit great, no vibrations and no wind noise. They add a good amount of rearward visibility and the glass quality is good. Takes less than 5 minutes to install the pair. I have a larger trailer now and have upgraded the factory mirrors with extendable towing mirrors, but I did use these extensions on the factory mirrors for the first few months. If you have a flat trailer, pop up camper or a narrow box trailer, these factory mirror extensions are great!
The mirror extensions work exactly as promised. Easy to install, adjust, and provide good views... And, despite a glitch with PayPal, the follow up by etrailer.com staff allowed me to purchase with ease...

Great , could use a little more length for comfort
I just got them, 2 days after ordering. They fit great and look great. I haven’t driven with them on yet, but so far I am very happy.. The service was great. I called with a question and Hally helped me find the right mirrors for my vehicle and put the order in for me. They were shipped the same day. She notified me when they were shipped and gave me a tracking number but they got here so quickly, I hadn’t check on a delivery date yet.

After a year and over 5000 miles towing our trailer, I am still happy with the mirrors. The only issue I have is that the plastic threads on the locking devise on one side , the threads still look good but are very difficult to screw in and out. I dont think I over tightened or cross-threaded. the mirror still stays secure.
We were going to be heading out on our first camping excursion with my new truck. I realized I had no mirror extensions but you came to the rescue and they were on my doorstep within two days!! Outstanding service!

Still very pleased with the quality and value!
The mirrors arrived quickly, without any damage and slip on as advertised. The only small discrepancy is that the protective felts do not match the instructions nor the described location on the mirrors.
CIPA should either change the instructions or the protective felts to match the instructions and the locations on the mirrors. Hope I successfully applied them, but will not know until after the first trip and take them back off to see if the truck mirrors are marred in any way.

I guess I did it correctly regardless of the instructions as they are working just fine.
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.

Update: Sold the truck and the mirrors. After getting a Durango and new tow mirrors, it makes me appreciate these mirrors even more!

Bought this product as I seen multiple trucks with the same tow mirrors about a month before I got my trailer. Thought if all these other people are using them, must be good. Sure enough, they are better then good, they are amazing. Easy to install and remove from factory mirrors. No vibration when driving and the mirror itself stays in the same spot where you position it. Definitely recommend!!

The mirrors are great. I have only used them about a dozen times, and they are a good product. Would definitely recommend.
I bought a 2012 LTZ Silverado 2500HD that did not have trailer tow mirrors. I found CIPA custom tow mirrors (CM10900) on etrailer .com web sight. I called to order a set, glad I did. The pair are very easy to install, great quality plastic design, gives me great vision, and easy to remove and clean when your trip is done. The price is very affordable, compaired to buying OEM mirrors from your Chevy parts dept. I have bought other items from etrailer and I am very happy with the PRICE and SERVICE they give the customer. Keep up the good work

Working great, still in great shape, very happy with the item
Extended mirrors are helpful, but small and hard to adjust. Would look for bigger if had a do over.
I have had the mirrors for about a year now. I use them when towing a 25 foot pontoon boat or 2 and 4 place snowmobile trailer. I really like the mirrors! They mount very securely and do not vibrate when going down the road. Easy on and off. Much safer with these on when towing. I can now change lanes if needed without sometimes guessing if there is a car behind me and see the lane clearly when merging back in. I highly recommend!

I dont use the mirrors often, mainly in the winter months when I trailer to snowmobile destinations. The CIPA mirrors perform well and guests I have with me that may use other brands styles of mirrors always comment how they like my mirrors and their lack of vibration. Thanks for a great product. Let it snow!!
In 2003 I purchased a pair of CIPA mirrors for my 2002 Chevy pick up. They have been a great product all that time. Easy on easy off. No vibration. Over the years I towed many different trailers. I would still be using them except I purchased a GMC truck and of course, I purchased a pair of CIPA mirrors for the new truck. I anticipate getting the same great service from the new pair as I did from the old pair.
I am very pleased with Etrailer. They had the best price and shipping was fast. I ordered them around 4:30 PM Eastern time and they arrived two days later. Thank You Etrailer; Frank

They are performing great on the new truck. I sold my Chevy when I bought the GMC and gave the byre the set I had on the 2002 vehicle.That set performed perfectly for 18 years and they will continue on with the Chevy truck.
These fit my 2013 Yukon Denali perfectly. The attachment is simple and effective, and once mounted the mirrors are secure and do not shake. The outbound smaller mirrors are pretty tight to adjust, but once set up remain stable and don’t move. The visibility to the rear extends just enough to see down the side of my trailer and improve the overall field of view. The only issue is that they conflict with the BSM system but it’s not that big of a deal and I can disable that function on the Yukon if I want to.
Overall very happy with the mirror extensions. Passenger side has always been difficult to thread the securing screw into the securing wedge. Drivers side has always attached with no problems at all.
Good, solid mirrors for my light-duty use. We tow a camper 2-3 times per year for short trips. Instructions could be clearer for installing the adhesive padding. As others mentioned, it would be nice if there was a secure place to store the wedges IN the mirrors. They would be very easy to drop while disassembling at a dark campground, or to misplace in storage.
My first time dealing with etrailer and I would say I am extremely impressed. I placed my order late at night and it shipped out the next morning.
The mirrors that I ordered were perfect. I installed them myself in minutes. The instructions were written very clearly and easy to follow. The quality of the mirrors was just fine. We look forward to our first camping trip with our new travel trailer.
They fit perfect thank you
this is a very good buy for me, I am very critical when it comes to items being correct fit, these mirrors fit good but were still just a little loose with a slight vibration on the road, easy fix. Two peices of 1/4" x 3/4 foam weather stripping, place it in the area shown in the pic and all vibration is gone, it does not effect the fit in the least. I have tried SEVERAL different types of towing mirrors with no satisfation, until now. Thank you.
P.S. the two peices of weather were 7 and 11 inches, I think it would be a great addition to the kit.
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.

Ive been using these mirrors pretty regularly for the past year and they are still fantastic. They are extremely easy to install and adjust and maintain stability when driving at highway speeds for 8+ hours. I would recommend them anyone.
They fit well, hold steady, and do a good job. The one less than perfect aspect is that each mirror has two pieces - the part you see, and the part that you slide in to hold the mirror in place. That's not so bad, but the problem is that when the mirrors are off the truck, there is no way to secure the little, critical, inside piece to the big outside piece, and thus, it is easy to lose them during storage. The best thing I have found is to just save the boxes they came in!
The first time I put them on, it took easily 10 minutes per mirror while I figured it out and learned how to gauge it. By the 5th time, about 60 seconds for each mirror.
I guess you get what you pay for. They were easy to install on my Tahoe. The driver side works well as I can see behind my Travel trailer. The passenger side just doesn't work for me. Its a flat mirror (Not convex) so field of view is very limited, I just cant find the right position for it. I also find it a bit confusing as there are now 4 different mirrors to focus on. I think the ultimate solution are the larger telescoping units. But of course they cost more and installation is more involved. I don't trailer that much so I can live with these. Oh, one little annoying thing is they whistle when the window is down(Quiet when the windows are up). I think its the sharp edge. On the plus side removal is quick so when you don't need them they come off easily when not needed.
