K-Source Universal Towing Mirror - Clip On - Convex Mirror - Qty 1
I like these mirrors and they work well for my Ford Escape that has odd shaped mirrors but my one concern is the straps that keep them attached. They have a poor design and 3 out of 4 loops to keep the straps together are missing so I've had to use electrical ties and now I have no fear of losing my mirrors as I travel. Have attached a picture to show what i had to do to make them safe for travelling. I actually did thois on all four areas and now have no concerns. This design needs to be improved on!!
I was very disappointed when I traveled with my new mirrors. I made sure that both mirrors were strapped on well and that there was no slack in the line. Half way to our destination, on the expressway, the driver side mirror slide to the end and blew off onto the expressway. Luckily I had a cheaper mirror stashed away and was able to put that on and travel with no issues. Very bummed that 1 of my mirrors is smashed sitting on the expressway.

CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror - Clamp On - Adjustable Length - Steel
Better quality than I expected for the price. They fit and have a large range of adjustment. The only surprise is that they are convex, I had not picked up on that from the description. If you want/need flat mirrors these are not what you want. As long as you buy a pair your rear view will be the same on both sides and it should not be an issue.
These mirrors work great except for one main point. make sure you double check the the tightening screws, that attach to the top of the the original vehicle mirror, are tight. When driving , on a hot day, the tightening screws tend to loosen a bit. Just a quick double check of the bolts works.

CIPA Universal Fit Dual-View Towing Mirror - Clip-On
I bought the trailer mirrors for my Jeep Grand Cherokee to pull my pull behind trailer. See pictures. The mirrors attach easily and securely and shake very little when driving. I need them mostly when backing up and I can see where the trailer tires are going. The mirrors do not adjust easily but when you do they stay in place. What I especially like is the size of the mirrors and having two independent mirrors.
Pros: Very easy to install. Will fit on almost anything. Cons: Bit of a challenge to adjust the in/out tilt on fixed mirror housings. Would like a little more height, but it's OK. This is a good solution for the casual user like me. Installation is painless. If you need more control over height or tilt, this is not for you.

CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror - Strap On - Black
The mirrors provide excellent view of the trailer being towed. That being said they produce a humming sound from the wind. They also tend to slide down gradually as you drive because the gripper pads do not stay adhered to the feet. They seem to work well for short trips. Anything over an hour and you will need to pull over to adjust them.
Not a good mirror. Second time using it fell off my car and smashed in road. Thank goodness it did not hit another car. The foam pads slid off and you can not get a good grip. I returned and they are sending me same one, because it was after 30 days.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Driver Side
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.
I've used this trailer mirror for 8 years. I had to purchase another, after my original set was stolen along with my trailer, where I kept it. I only purchased the driver's side this time, as I can see to the right rear fine without the extension. The description states that the vehicle mirrors can fold closed with the towing mirror attached. No, they can't. And they couldn't in 2013, either. I had hoped that the design of the mirror body would have been updated to allow the vehicle mirror to fold but it is still the same. So, I did as before, and cut the bottom corner of the housing to provide clearance up to the fold point on the vehicle mirror. That's not difficult, but why the claim that the mirror can fold with the towing mirror attached? Disappointing. Otherwise, the housing fit well over the vehicle mirror, and the attachment is solic. It's a bit of a trick to align the screw-in bolt to the wedge socket, since it can't be seen, but it's not too hard. Side note: I've been concerned since my first purchase that I would lose the wedge. It's not attached, and could be dropped or misplaced. I attached velcro to the wedge and the inside of the housing where it won't interfere with installation. The mirror and wedge are now always together. And, if you purchase both left and right mirrors, note that they are identified as so inside the housing. Look for "LH" and "RH", inside center, toward the end. Reversing the mirrors, though they look the same, will result in lost mirrors. If anyone should like a photo of what I did to allow the vehicle mirror to fold with the towing mirror attached, let me know.I'm not near my vehicle now, or I would take a photo and attach it.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Passenger Side
As I said in the other review I am very happy with this product. They fit well and look good. No vibration while driving so I have a clear view to the rear. A good product.
Bought to replace one that a passing truck knocked off . Fits great, good visibility, no vibration.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Driver Side
They are ok for what they are. Easy to install and remove. They do not show as much as I thought but enough since I dont have factory tow mirrors.
I ordered these mirrors for my car in Oct 2021 at which time the website indicated they would fit my car. I only need them for towing during the summer so did not even open the boxes until this week, April 2022. Imagine my surprise to find out that the mirrors do NOT fit my car. I immediately sent an e-mail requesting process to return and exchange for mirrors that would fit. Today I received a response stating sorry they don't fit but our returns policy is 60 days and I was outside of that time. I should try selling them locally! I could understand if the mirrors were no longer carried by etrailer but they are still in stock. And I'm not asking for a refund but an exchange. Very disappointed in this company!

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Driver Side
I'm so impressed at the quality of these mirrors (I bought both driver and passenger sides) especially at such a reasonable cost. Very simple but effective solution for me. It took about 3 minutes to install these as they fit and slide right over my existing mirrors. They were designed precisely for my vehicle so don't interfere with my power adjustments or signal lights. I'm new at pulling a large Camping trailer and needed to find something to get my field of view around both sides. Factory mirrors and such were too expensive for my budget and I don't believe they would help anymore than these.
Fits nicely over my existing mirrors and is extremely easy to install. They look great and are blend in with the existing mirror so that they look natural.

Pictures of the mirrors in action, fits are perfect! They look way better than the extendable tow mirrors that are factory. They also let the auto fold function on the mirrors fold just fine.
Fit is perfect; very good size mirrors; look better than the Ford extenables; I can take them off when not needed; lets the turn signals show through; the auto fold mirror function works with them on; very easy to put on and remove; look good on even a KING RANCH!

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Driver Side
I received a Ford product towing mirror. I thought I ordered a towing mirror for my GMC 2500 Sierra SLE, but received the Ford towing mirror instead. etrailer substituted the Ford mirror in lieu of providing the correct product for my GMC pick-up. I contacted them and stated my issue, they responded and said the product I received would not fit my GMC pick-up and offered other solutions.
This product came very quick. I like the way it slips on and locks in so easily. I will be towing a camper trailer to hopefully somewhat secluded camp sites. These extended mirrors are perfect for my needs. Looking around at what kind of extended mirrors work best, these are consistently rated very high. I would not have any problem ordering from these guys again
What our customers are saying:
"WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!"
