Best 2003 Ford Escape Towing Mirrors

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.

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.

Works on my 2015 Ford Escape. Not a perfect fit but nobody seems to make an extended mirror for this car.

mounted right on perfect fit on my 2011 escape

Just what i wanted. Fits great on my car

they took a little fiddling to get fitted up correctly on my little Ford Escape, but seem to be well made and go on easily enough without damaging the existing rear view mirror. I have not had them on at highway speeds yet

Fits on 2010 Ford Escape. First use was 500 mile trip. The mirror arms never loosened one bit from the vehicle side mirrors where we attached them, and the mirrors stayed in adjustment the entire way. Makes a huge improvement in being able to see vehicles behind the tailer; a huge improvement in towing safety. Highly recommended.

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.

I've been using these for a year, intermittently on my 2020 F150. I've popped them on and off about 8 times towing a camper. They've fit snug each time with no vibration on the road All around reliable part-time towing mirrors.

The mirrors went on easily and fast. They look great, although that was not a concern. I found it a little awkward using the mirrors next to the truck mirrors in that the magnification was much more than the truck mirrors. They did not seem to vibrate when driving down the road.

Finally, we got extended mirrors for our 2016 Sequoia. OEM mirrors are manageable but inefficient when backing up or switching lanes with a Travel Trailer. The only issue with the extended mirrors is that they vibrate to the extent you get hypnotized. They work best at slow speeds, backing in campgrounds or switching lanes at slow speeds. Sixty-five miles, forget it. Use your best judgment. If the mirrors are well molded into place, the vibration may be minimized. The team at etrailer, from start to finish, was fabulous. Thanks

CIPA Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors performed as advertised. I followed others' suggestions and thoroughly cleaned & de-bugged (w/bug cleaner) my Cherokees' existing mirrors so the rubber retaining straps adhered to my Cherokees' mirrors. Also secured a zip tie around the Towing Mirror & the Cherokee mirrors to prevent slippage. There Was slight vibration of the Towing Mirror image, but nothing I couldn't live with. The extra extension beyond my Cherokee's mirrors made driving and lane changes much easier, safer, & less stressful. I'd buy these again.

The towing mirrors are an exact fit. I was going to only use them when I towed my trailer but decided to keep them on permanently. They look Really good.

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.

These mirrors are GREAT!! Exactly what I've been looking for. The fit, adjustability, look are awesome!! They look like they are factory installed. We tow a travel trailer (now with a 2011 Suburban) and vision from the passenger side has always been a problem. I have tried others from different sources on different tow vehicles: there is no comparison and they are cheaper too!! I am so glad I found etrailer.com. Just plug in your info and the solution to your problem is found!

Simply installed and removed, these mirrors make all the difference when towing our 33’ trailer. They easily adjust to allow the best views of both the trailer and surrounding traffic. I highly recommend this product.

Purchased the K-source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors for use while towing a trailer. They are a perfect fit and really help me keep an eye on the traffic around me. They also help to eliminate some of the blind spots with or without a trailer behind me. Right product for the right vehicle. Thanks Etrailer!

These have been a great safety feature for pulling a trailer. I really appreciate how they detach and are easily stowed. Olid product!

I purchase the mirrors to use for towing a camper that I bought. I could not see around the camper with my stock mirrors on my Ford it took me about 2 minutes to put these mirrors on they look awesome. I hooked up to my camper I can see straight down both sides with plenty of room on both sides. I can now change lanes on the interstate without sticking my head out the window and I can back up into my camping spot without having to have somebody flag me in. I would definitely recommend these mirrors to anybody looking for tow mirrors to add to their Factory mirrors you cannot beat the price or the ease in which these mirrowa go on. They come in a nice carry bag if you don't want to leave them on but I'm personally just going to leave mine on they look factory.

Just what I've been looking for. I pull a 8x10 enclosed trailer for my ultralight plane. I was afraid the mirrors would be too small but with the 2007 ford mirrors already being large these add on mirrors worked great. They slipped on so easy and can't come off. Excellent product and reasonably priced. I read the reviews on products before I purchase them. I'm a police officer so I'm suspicious the reviews might be made up. You can bet that this review is truthful and it's a good product or I wouldn't have taken the time to do a review.

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.

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.

Very good quality construction. Very good fit for a non-custom mount. Thick rubber straps are stretched over the car’s side mirror and hold the mirror well. My car is a 2017 Ford Expedition EL. Note: when you fold in the car mirror the towing mirror partially blocks the progress so that mirror stops early. It is still folded but not as completely as without the tow mirror. And yes, they are two identical mirrors so on one side the straps go up, on the other side they go down.

BUYER BEWARE!!!!!! I had great hopes for these mirrors. They look great. They appear to be very adjustable right out package. They fit on my Tacoma securely. They don't interfere with the function of the stock mirrors. Everything was moving along "swimmingly". Then I sit inside my truck to do the final adjustment (moving the actual mirror to get the correct setting and lock it into the "sweet spot"). The new Mirror is very stiff...doesn't want to move. Well, its new...so....Okay, I don't want to ruin anything...so.... No worries, I go get a phillips screwdriver to loosen the back screw a smidge so the friction adjustment can work . Come back start to back the screw out just a smidge...nope...still can't adjust the...wait...unscrew some more....that's not an adjustment screw at all. That just screws directly into the back of the mirror to hold it solidly in place. Worse yet, There is no friction mechanism on the back of the mirror at all. It is one solid piece of plastic. The molded plastic replicates the look as if it has the ability to move, but in reality....There is no way to do small mirror corrections once you have this thing installed. What the Actual people?????!!!!!!???? If you can't do minor adjustments to the mirror while you are in the vehicle, then the mirror is completely useless. I wouldn't recommend this product to my worst enemy. It's a piece of crap. DO NOT BUY!!!! A complete waste of time, money, and shipping costs. Now, I have to incur more shipping costs to send this POS back to etrailer. Hey, etrailer....Do Better next time!!!!

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!

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.

I bought these mirrors to use on our 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I used them just a couple of times and have decided to look for something else. Despite my best efforts and watching (and re-watching) the online video that shows them being mounted on my exact vehicle, I found that the soft pads that grip the back of the mirror could not keep the mirror in place for more than 30 minutes or so. It was warm (mid-80s) when I used the mirrors and the heat seemed to let the pads slip too much. I tried several different positions and adjusted the tension straps carefully, but no luck. They seem pretty well made and may well work well on other vehicles, but they just don't work with my Jeep GC.
