Custom-Fit Towing Mirror
Easily extend your field of vision and reduce blind spots with this CIPA slip-on towing mirror. By adding it to your OEM side-view mirror, 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.
The mirror is molded to perfectly match the contours of your factory side mirror. Simply slide the mirror over your side-view mirror and use the custom-formed, felt-covered wedge to hold the mirror in place. This wedge wraps around the inside edge of your OEM mirror and can be tightened onto the mirror with an easily accessible hand knob.
These slip-on mirrors will fit factory mirrors that look like the mirror in the image above.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors for the Driver and Passenger Side, part number CM11400. Now, you can also pick up the driver side sold separately, part number CM11401, or you could pick up the passenger side separately, with part number CM11402. It all presents a wide field of view. It's going to allow us to safely and easily change lanes, pass, park or even back up while towing a trailer or camper. As you can see, I'm visible in the towing mirror, but not the factory mirror. If I take a few steps in towards my trailer as you can see there's no blind spot by the way we have it set up, but this is the view you'd get with just your factory mirror. With it installed it's going to give us a total length of 18 1/2 inches.
The mirror itself is about 6 inches tall by 4 1/4 inches wide. The housing is constructed out of a durable ABS plastic, so it's going to stand up to corrosion. The mirror itself can be adjusted to most angles. We've got our up and down, diagonal, and side to side. The housing on the bottom here and on the top is not going to interfere with the movement or operation of our factory mirror, and we can even still fold it in.
Here on the back side it's going to contour your factory mirror. It's really going to maintain that aerodynamic shape. Now, the kit does come in a quantity of two. It's a no drill installation. Now we'll go ahead and show you how easy it is to install. You want to be sure that your factory mirror is clean of any dirt or debris.
You also want to be sure the inside of your CIPA mirror is nice and clean. Now, before we slide it on I'd like to point out that it is going to cover up our turn signal, but it is going to improve our line of sight, which is what we want. We'll just line it up and then slide it on in place. Just like that. Now we can move on and grab our wedge. Now, the kit does come with two.
The thicker one is going to be for standard mirrors, which is what we have. The thinner one is going to be for, like chrome or capped mirrors. Once we've chosen our wedge we an then take the adhesive padding. We want to peel back the back side and put it in place like that. For demonstration purposes we won't be doing that, so let's go ahead and grab our hand knob and our thick wedge. What we want to do is take our wedge, we're going to turn it to this direction with the hole, and we're going to push it through the notched portion here. We want to line up that hole with the spot here. Then our hand knob is going to go through. Just go ahead and push all the way on until it kind of cups the back side of our factory mirror here. Then we can go ahead and get that started. The passenger side installs the exact same way. That's going to complete our look at the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors for the Driver and Passenger Side, part number CM11400.

As always, quick delivery and great pro duct 644871
got the mirrors and tried the on our 2012 Dodge 1500 truck and they fit well there is a litle play on the outside ends up and down, don't know where or not this will effect the end use with vibration. if so i am going to put a little neoprem in and this should stop the vibration. the only reason i am not giving them an excellent is i won't have them on the truck in use for a couple of weeks at least. 82287
Overall these are nice mirrors and fit well on my Ram 1500. I am only rating two stars because the mounting screws and threads in the mirrors are not compatible and the lead threads on the screws galled during first install. This will require me to rethread the screws and holes before using the mirrors. It appears that the non threaded end of the screw is too large and damaged the threads in the mirror. I may even need to change to a metal screw to make them work. 643196
