Today we're going to take a look at and show you how to install, the original custom towing mirrors. These are a slide on style sold as a pair from Longview, part number is CTM1600. Here you'll see our view of our factor mirror. It works out great until we get out here to the outer region. This is where our towing mirror's going to take over and help to extend our view out here, where we can really see what's going on with our trailer. These Longview towing mirrors do a great job of making trailering a little bit easier. They're going to extend our field of view allowing us to change lanes, park, navigate around town just a little bit easier.
The face of the mirror, as you can see, is going to be manually adjustable, so we can customize it to any view. The mirror securely fits around the outside of the mirror here, so it doesn't mess with any of our factory features. Maybe like in this case, it's got a blinker in it. It's got the lane departure warning. It's got the heat in here.
It's got the tilting power mirrors from the inside. None of those features are going to be inhibited by the use of our mirror. It's a scratch resistance mirror face, as well. So we're not going to have to worry about it wearing over time and being hard to see through. It's not going to interfere with any kind of fold in feature, like the power fold feature, or the tilt-in break-away mirrors. Very durable AVS plastic housing.
It's going to be UV resistant, so it's not going to fade over time. Also going to be long lasting and a nice product. Now that we've gone over the features, let's take a look at how to get it installed on your vehicle. You want to clean up your mirror, make sure that you don't have any dirt, or salt, or any kind of debris that's going to cause any kind of abrasion, and then we're going to slide our mirrors right on. Now as you can see, already pre-fit are going to be all the pads, pieces of felt any where that it makes contact. There's one small piece of felt you'll have to add, and that's right here on our connection mechanism. Basically, what these spacers are going to do is one protect the mirror.
But they also hold them in place, and they're going to guard against vibration and noise as we're heading down the highway. Now to put them in place, we're just going to slide them on. I'm going to just kind of guide the bottom lift to the front side of the mirror, the top lift on the top side of the mirror, and we'll push them in until we feel the stop. We can then bring the hook portion around to the front side of our mirror, and allow it to come right around the front, as you can see there. Let me tilt this in, now it's just going to be a matter of tightening both of your knobs down a little bit so it gets a nice secure fit, nice secure grasp on there. You can see with everything tight, we'll have a nice secure fit for our mirror. So you can see it moves up and down no more than the factory mirror does. That's not wiggle coming from the mirror, these are pretty much moving as one unit there. Just a really nice easy way to add a mirror, extend your view, make trailering a little bit easier for you. Now that we've seen what they are and how they're going to fit, that'll complete today's look at the original custom towing mirrors from Longview, part number CTM1600 on our 2010 GMC Yukon. .

Product does not work for me. The mirrors do not adjust far enough in to see the sides of my trailer. I am looking into the ditch with these. 711203
The mirrors fit the truck very well. Video was a big help in putting the holder together. 2013 Silverado Biggest problem was following the directions as to where to place the felt pieces. Called etrailer rep and although she was helpful, she had the same problem with the directions. Etrailer rep was very courteous and helpful. Called Longview, where the mirrors were sent from. Not a professional answering machine message and later found out it was a personal cell phone. I was told to put the felt pads where they rub on the mirror. Not as professional a place as etrailer. I have had CIPA mirrors on other trucks and have liked them. These mirrors seem very similar other than the way they are locked onto the truck mirror. 84009
I had some trouble installing the mirror extensions on my 2012 Chevy Tahoe. As you can see in the photo below, the J-hook with the flat disc is not long enough to reach the adapter. It measures 3 inches from the large hole in the shell to the inside of the OEM mirror. Since the J-hook is only 3 inches long, there is no way to attach the knob to it. All the other applications seem to place the large hole in the shell much closer to the edge of the mirror. The shell does fit very nicely to the OEM mirror with no gaps. I solved the problem by using 'ball bungees' in place of the J-hooks. These are used to attach tarps to metal frames, awnings, etc. I used three ball bungee's (2 on top and 1 on the bottom). I think these work much better. The extension mirror is tight against the factory mirror and the bungees hold it there without scratching the paint. I like this set-up much better so I won't need the KLV 4010 kit. You might consider a re-design. I didn't like the threaded J-hooks. It was very hard to screw on the knobs the first time without cross-threading them and I suspect they are prone to breakage. If someone bumps in to the mirrors in the parking lot, the bungees just stretch and nothing breaks. Probably a lot cheaper too. 505421
The mirrors for great, but I worry about the plastic bolts breaking over time. The plastic bolt are under a little stress and necessary to hold the mirrors on the car. 892311
High quality at the best price we could find on the internet. My husband is pleased with the easy installation. I love the flames on the backside! We haven't used them on an RV trip yet but we're not worried about it. 892028
The towing mirrors I ordered got to me very quickly and in good shape. They were just as describe and with the help of your how-to video they went on with no problems. They were a perfect fit. I am a very happy customer and I will be ordering from eTrailer in the future. Thanks for the wonderful shopping experience. 862955

The threaded stems that lock on the original mirror are not long enough. They are very tight and bent on my 2012 Denali. 857717
These mirror extensions look sharp. They do enable better vision towing a trailer. However they vibrate and make it blurry. 680354
They fit perfectly and work fine. The instruction video was very helpful! 674631
I received these in short order. Very quick shipping. They fit my Avalanche just fine and were easy to set up and install. I can see that they will be easy to remove and install as needed. Gives me just enough extra width to see down the side of my RV. 589175
Product was easily installed. Very clever method. Unfortunately, mirrors were too small and did not offer sufficient field of view. Product seemed to have been used/purchased previously (as evident from scratches) Returned for credit. 544627
I ordered these mirror extensions on a Thursday and received them the next Monday. They fit perfectly, were easy to install and will be easy to use while we are towing our trailer. Can't thank eTrailers enough for their great service and great products. Would definitely use them again for parts! 540100
Precisely what I wanted for when I’m towing my horse trailer. Arrived so quickly I couldn’t believe it! Thank you very much. Great company. 499492

Mirrors were of great quality . I will be ordering from them again for sure . Wonderful business & people . THANKS 479655
Excellent product. It installed easily and worked great. The mirrors provided the vision I needed while towing a long travel trailer. I would highly recommend this product to anyone considering the purchase. 426538
3 reviews in one. "Product" (CTM1600: mine came in a Longview box labeled as LVT 1600) is an exact fit for 2011 Chevy Tahoe LTZ w/chrome topped mirrors. It covers most of the light under the mirror, but we never needed that anyway. Fits like a glove, I added zip ties to each mirror as a safety measure to ensure we don't loose it under unforeseen circumstances like hitting a large bird and breaking the hold downs. "Service" Lisa D. made absolutely certain it would fit my vehicle before I placed the order. Wow, why buy from anyone else if you are going to get the right item the first time. "Delivered" on Thursday after being ordered on Monday of the same week. 394629
The initial product had a hardware kit that was missing 1 part. After notifying Etrailer, the replacement parts was shipped promptly. Great company to deal with. Thanks. 380587
I only used the mirrors one time, but they were great. Easy to put on and take off, and good coverage of the trailer. However some jerk stole my trailer and the mirrers were not recovered. 370444
Just what i wanted,received in good cond. and faster then i though i would. 359486
I am very pleased with there customer service, and having the towing mirrors I need for my truck. I had looked at other web sites, but they never gave me the information I truly needed to pick out the right mirror like e-trailer did. The description was very detailed for their products. Thank you so very much, Larry 323813
Work great, no issues 322115
