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.

Michael: Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at these custom fit towing mirrors. These mirrors are going to slide right onto your vehicle's factory mirror. It's going to extend your line of sight, so it's going to be easier to keep an eye on your trailer, boat, or camper. Makes it much easier and safer to change lanes, pass other vehicles, or park.
Just having that extended line of sight, being able to see your trailer, make sure that your load is staying where you need it to be it's just going to give you a lot more peace of mind, and help with your safety.Now, these are a custom fit. They're going to work for your 2019 and newer GMC Sierra 1500 and the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. They're going to slide right onto the existing mirror there, so you're not going to have to worry about replacing your mirror or anything like that. These do come with a wedge that you'll slide into the back side, and then it's a little knob on the back there that you'll tighten down. I want you to have the wedge in place.
You can see that little circular hole there's going to line up with the inside of that knob. It'll get it nice and secure for you, so you're not going to have to worry about it wiggling around, or anything like that. They do include this pad that you'll put on the wedge there to help reduce any contact with your mirror, so that you don't have to worry about damaging your original mirror. It will hold up well, do a good job for you.Now, one thing I will say about these is that you're probably going to have to remove them to go through a car wash, things like that. You are going to have to put them on and take them off, so it's not as convenient as having permanent towing mirrors on your vehicle.
But if you're someone who doesn't tow all that frequently, you just want to take your camper out for the weekend, or something like that these are going to be really nice, because they're not going to change the look of your vehicle for the long term. Just while you need them they're there for you, so definitely a good option. Nice sturdy material. These are made of an ABS plastic construction, so they're going to hold up well. The mirror is adjustable so you can adjust it to whatever angle you need to see for yourself.Now, I have both mirrors here.
These are sold both as a set and individually. If you are wanting them as a set you can use the middle number that you see on the screen there. Then the driver's side and passenger side are also on the screen, so if you just need one as a replacement, or something along those lines you can get that as well.Overall, I think these are a really great option. For me personally, I would probably prefer a more permanent option. Something that would replace your original factory mirror. I like that stability, and not having to worry about taking them off and putting them back on. But like I said, if you are just a casual hauler, don't do it all that often, these are going to be a great option to extend your line of sight, make you a lot more comfortable and safer while you're on the road. That's going to complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.
Ratings & Reviews
Great product and fast shipping.
Excellent product! Fits perfectly on the mirrors of my 1995 F250. Took maybe five minutes to install both mirrors.Both fit very snugly.
This is my third Cipa towing mirror. It appears to be identical to the others, including the fact that the mirror can’t be folded in on my 2013 Toyota Sequoia, despite claims by Cipa that it can be. I’ve attached some photos that show how I modified the housing so it would clear the vehicle mirror mount. It took less than a hour, but it’s disappointing that such a basic feature is wrongly claimed to exist.
Otherwise, the mirror is sturdy, mounts tightly to the parent mirror, and provides an improved view to the rear and adjacent travel lane.
This would be a five-star review if not for that lack of functionality.
The extension mirrors were eazy to install and look great.
I’ve been using these for about a year now and I am very pleased. They look sleek and mostly keep a factory OEM appearance. The slip-on tow mirrors are a good and affordable option for people like me that are not towing everyday. The main goal was to get some extra width/extension to my view to allow for better visibility when towing my 25’ camper. Sure, an entire tow mirror replacement would work better but for the low cost and convenience of easy removal these are a great option. I’m very pleased. So far the plastic locking screw is holding up well and shows no signs of fatigue, holding it tightly against my factory mirrors.
I ordered the mirror extenders for our 2016 Ram 1500. They fit perfectly. I think they're going to work really well while pulling our new trailer.
They are fine for the price but hard to adjust the mirror itself after installation. I’ll be installing the bigger factory trailer mirrors pretty soon.
Great mirror extensions for my Sequoia. I can actually see who’s behind my 25’ travel trailer.
These extenders fit like a glove! Very happy with my purchase and the peace of mind that came with it.
Bought the CIPA extended trailering mirrors. Look really nice, look like the OEM mirrors. Solid fit. Read the instructions for the cushioning placement and get it right and they fit nice. The extended mirror is flat not convex like the usual mirrors so things appear a little different
, but I got used to it quickly. Buy them you’ll be glad!
Price was good the shipping was on time. The mirrors work great for my 23 ft, camper trailer pulled with a 04 suburban, the only problem I had was the left mirror would not adjust. A little 3in 1 and moving it freed it up and it is fine.
These towing mirrors work as they should, also look fantastic on the pickup, like they have always been there ... ??????
They don't fit very well on my 2018 Ram. They extend towards to door past the edge of the original mirror and it has to go that far in order to get the retaining block in. That causes the truck mirrors to be covered about 1/2 inch. They also keep the mirrors from folding all the way. Having said that, they are still better than the strap on type because they don't vibrate.
After a little snafu with shipping I received the mirrors and am very happy with them. They fit my Toyota Tundra perfectly and actually look good. Unlike the strap on kind of mirror extensions. They don't vibrate while driving so give a clear view.
I am very happy with these mirror extensions.
Our CIPA Custom towing mirrors arrived very quickly, well packaged with appearance as described, excellent quality. We tried them on our 2020 GMC Sierra Denali and they fit great and will be an extra set of eyes when we are towing our 2021 Riverside Retro trailer to see her better when traveling , backing up etc. We are so happy and will be back for more at etrailer, thank you!
We use these mirrors all of the time when we tow. They fit our Ford F150 truck mirrors like a glove. Unfortunately they can loosen up when traveling so you will need to check the screw on each mirror before traveling to your next destination. We have lost 2 of these in the 6 years we have had our camper for that very reason.
I have purchased from etrailer.com before and was happy with their service. I was across country moving my son back to Idaho from Illinois and needed mirrors for towing a large utility trailer. Ordered from etrailer and unbeknownst to me, they were just down the road in Missouri. Had them the next day and am pleased with product. I’ll be using them again.
We ordered these based off previous reviews. Glad we did! They fit perfectly on our 2016 Dodge Ram truck. They just slide on!!! The price is so reasonable!!
2010 F150 Lining up the Thumb screw hole took a little work.. I did manage to get it all lined up With a little work and observation. I lined up the anti-slip plate with the thumb screw hole before I installed it, and marked The adjacent location with a sharpie. After realigning the thumb screw turned down all the way with little effect. Extension mirror looks sharp!! And is solid against the existing mirror.
So glad I found these mirror extenders! Super easy to install and worked beautifully. We just did a 2000 mile trip pulling my trailer with no issues. The mirrors allow me to make safe lane changes.
Very nice to work with, great products
