Fully adjustable mirrors allow you to position each mirror to your preferred viewing angle. The mirror arm slides between the clamps to adjust the distance between the mirror and your vehicle.

2019 Honda Ridgeline

A nice alternative for temporary mirrors for trailer hauling. They didn't interfere with the remote mirror adjustment on the factory installed outside mirrors and held securely once adjusted. I used them on a 2019 Honda Ridgeline.



by:

We needed these extended mirrors on our van when pulling our camper. They fit perfect on our 2014 E250. Husband was very happy with the added rear vision they provide. The mirrors stayed put and adjusted even on the interstate. Great purchase!



by:
2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

One was broken when I got them. It will be returned. The other one was securely attached. After 6 hours on the road it fell off into five lanes of traffic at 60 miles per hour. I did not go back to attempt to pick it up. Worthless junk. Do not buy.



by:
2019 Subaru Ascent

While it is not perfect, these mirrors work reasonably. With our Subaru, special care is required to attach the the mirrors. This is due to he closeness of the gap between the movable reflexive part and the housing.

This set of mirror failed the cut.



by:

Well so far they fit easily onto my existing mirrors and they extend way out which is what I need. Haven’t used them yet on the road but I think they will work well.

Ron

5/23/2024

Mirrors work good but they won’t stay attached on the passenger side. I lost one it blew off going 60 mph, so ordered a 3rd mirror from you, that one also blew off but I was able to recover it. If you have any tips on getting them to stay on I would really appreciate it.



by:

I believe this is a good product. The best rear/side view I can attain to improve my rear/side view on the extremely undersized stock mirrors on our 2019 Suburban.
However, I have lost three mirrors in travel that have literally fell off the stock mirror frame. I even enhanced the last one with a stop nut to keep the clamping screw from possibly loosening during travel. Thought maybe it was loosening up from road vibrations. Also, the third mirror dropped off just this past weekend while rolling down the road. Needless to say, there is nothing left of the mirror after hitting the pavement. I still have a pair of mirrors that strap onto the stock mirrors that have never fallen off. I will probably use them until I find something better.

If you guys have any suggestions to keep these mirrors mounted, let me know.

I do have a set of towing mirrors that will work for you and they are a snap on mirror part # KS80920 on our site. Instead of using clips like universal mirrors they slide onto the existing mirror which gives it a snug fit. It is rare to loose a slide on mirror and based on your experience I think you would be happier with them.



by:

The mirrors look great and fit as I expected but I have not driven the truck yet to see how they will handle the rough ride, (Vibration) from the truck. My reason for not giving the Excellent rating. The mirrors gave me an additional 5 inches of visibility on each side of my 1995 Ford F250. GREAT!! I expect this to be just what I was looking for



by:

I have not actually used the mirrors as it is winter in Billings Montana and none of my camping locations are open, but I did tried the mirrors on my vehicle to make sure they fit.



by:
2010 Toyota Tacoma

Fits great; highly adjustable; price is right!



by:

The mirror vibrates alot which makes it unpleasant to use. If it was easier to put on I would just for backing up
But not worth it

Chevrolet Colorado

This mirror was the only one I could find that would work on my 2021 Chevy Colorado pickup. I have been very pleased with the mirrors. I have learned to check the tightness of the screw on clamps, each time I stop. I have lost two of these from road vibration. I now have 3 of them, so I have a spare if another one gets lost or broken.



by:

Quick shipping. Mirrors fit exactly as in simple assembly instructions. You can actually exceed 10 feet width with these mirrors.



by:

Now I can see behind me asI drive with my camper on back.



by:

I use these on a Ford Escape when towing my 13' camper. I will admit it took me a few tries to make sure they were tight enough to stay on but I figured it out. I make a point to check the knobs whenever I stop on my travels. After being on the road for a while my eyes adjust to just using the towing mirrors. I don't really notice much, if any, vibration from them. Glad I made the purchase.



by:

Mirror extensions. Very easy to put on. Fit like a glove and now I have great vision behind the trailer. Well worth the cost. Placed on Toyota Highlander 2018.

Only fair at best. One came off at freeway speed. The other needed a bungee cord to keep it from going out of position at freeway speed.



by:
2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

to much trouble to keep on. used zip ties and still could not get them to stay on. tightened them down as much as I could.



by:

Positionally, the mirror performs well. However, the tension brackets provide inadequate clamping strength. The mirror is essentially a sail that wind is pushing against as you drive down the road... constantly challenging the two lone clamps. You can only tighten the clamps so much before tension partially releases and you need to re-tighten. I lost one of these mirrors five minutes into my second 9 mile test drive on the freeway. I ended up employing a bungee/zip tie contraption as a safety net so I don't lose the other mirror. My vehicle is a 2014 Honda Odyssey.



by:

The mirrors are of high quality and worked well on my 2016 Escalade. Until one didn't. Blew off on the highway. My fault, I am sure, but I thought they were plenty tight. In fairness, the Escalade mirrors did not lend themselves well to trailering add-ons. Now have a 2022 Silverado with Snap and Zap mirrors by K-Source that clamp over the factory mirrors. Work great and look great. Got them from you as well. Always impressed by your available inventory and great service!

Toyota 4Runner

When I picked up our Yamaha boat with our 4Runner, I could not see to change lanes on the way home. Never knew mirror extensions existed until a quick search online. Decided it was cheaper than a new truck with tow mirrors and I’m glad I bought these. I was hesitant at first, thinking they’d look tacky, but I mounted mine on the bottom of the mirror and they aren’t bad looking. They extend out plenty allowing me to see to back up and change lanes while driving. And they are extremely adjustable. And they can be removed in seconds when not needed. Do your homework before purchasing like I did, that way you’ll know if you over tighten the mounting screws you can potentially break the bracket. Knowing this, I just snug mine down with a reasonable amount of effort, and they stay put. Whoever designed these, thank you for creating a solution to what could have been a very expensive alternative had we purchased another vehicle with tow mirrors.

David

These mirrors worked great every time I used them, never had an issue. Would definitely recommend them.



by:

works great, no issues with the product. I mounted them on the bottom of the mirror, just worked better that way. The issue I had was the driver side mirror folding in a couple times from trucks going past due to the added surface area.

David

6/20/2023

All still good. No other folding in of the mirrors.



by:

I put these on my 2020 Ford Ranger. Tightened everything as tight as possible but only went about a mile at 40 mph and one flew off in ditch. Design should be set up so wind against it makes it tighter not fly off. Oh well, live and learn.



by:
2011 Toyota Tacoma

Needed extensions to see very narrow rowing-scull trailer behind my 2011 Toyota Tacoma. Can now see nearly whole trailer when going straight, and through all backing operations. Mounted unit to bottom of existing mirrors with extension mirror hinged downward (like other Tacoma customer). Added LocTite to fastenings. Quality of materials very good. Mirror sizes perfect, and convex shape just right. Thanks for a good product.



by:

Good mirrors allow you to see the back end of the trailer. Super easy instal and setup. Everything going well on our first ever trip with our new trailer and new mirrors, until return trip. My passenger side mirror was blown away. Contacted CIPA the manufacturer a week ago and never heard anything back from them they are just dismissing my inquiry. That the only reason for the low rating



by:

First time out one fell off , put bungee cord on , works great

Kenneth

6/1/2020

Great but we use a bungee cord to keep them on, safety



by:

These mirrors have been fitted to a 2014 VW Tiguan, pulling a Taxa Cricket trailer. I have had to modify the rubber pads on the mirror clamp by cutting each pad almost in half (see photo) to accommodate the car mirror design (see photo). I will glue the pads to the clamp to keep them from getting lost. The mirrors will do the job for which they were purchased. I have not yet driven at speed, but I do not anticipate any problems. The mirrors are securely attached.

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for a 2004 Lexus LX 470
    I assume these towing mirrors are for a 2004 Lexus LX 470. If that is the case then I recommend the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors part # CM11980-2 or the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS3891-2. These mirrors will both do an excellent job of extending your field of view. The CIPA mirrors will be easier to take on and off the vehicle but the downside of this easy on/off install is that they are not as secure as the K-Source mirrors. The added security from the straps are then...

  • Will CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors Prevent Factory Mirrors From Rotating on 2019 Nissan Pathfinder
    I reached out to CIPA and the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2 is tapered to insert into the gap between the vehicle mirror housing and the mirror face. Since it will allow for normal mirror operation it will also give you enough clearance for your mirrors to rotate down when in reverse. I have attached an installation video for your reference.

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation For 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    We do have one option to add towing mirrors to your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser, and because your mirrors are larger than most, what you will need are the clamp-on style of universal towing mirror. These mirrors clamp on directly to your FJ Cruiser's factory mirrors and tighten down with the use of knobs to ensure they are secure to your vehicle.

    For an unloaded tongue weight of 550 the higher rated Curt MV part # C17051 would be better since it has a range of 400-800 lbs which would provide a better ride quality and support for what you have.

    There are currently no slide-on or slip-on towing mirrors for a 2017 Nissan Titan, and while I suppose anything's possible, there's no reason to think any will be added for this truck a number of years later. So if you need towing mirrors for yout Titan you'll have to go with clamp-on mirrors, and for that I highly recommend the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2.
