K-Source Universal Towing Mirror - Clip On - Convex Mirror - Qty 1
Product seems well-built, unfortunately it does not fit a 1997 Ford Explorer. The factory mirrors have a triangular cut-out on the lower edge, and the mounting clips are about an inch too far apart to properly engage. The mounting clips are fixed and can't be adjusted closer together, so this is going back.
I am using this mirror set on my Explorer when pulling my 8 foot wide trailer. It adjusts in height very well. The mirror locks into the edge of the existing mirror and does not vibrate. Well worth the cost.

CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror - Clamp On - Adjustable Length - Steel
The mirrors appear to be pretty sturdy. The actual mirror seems a bit small, but I have not used the mirrors yet to tell if the mirror size is actually adequate or not. The clamps are nicely machined and not one bit flimsy; they are rock solid. The lower part of the clamp that wedges into the mirror housing is nice and thin, but it still seems to touch the top of the truck's mirrors slightly. But, they still seem to be able to adjust ok, occasionally grabbing the clamp and jumping a little. One other semi trivial thing that was a little disappointing; I had to use a wrench on the nut used to adjust the tube length, and the wrench scratched the paint off of the aluminum nut. It detracted from the fine appearance of the mirrors ever so slightly. I wish I had some exact match touch up paint. In a couple of days I will get to use them for the first time whereas I am picking up my new travel trailer from the dealer out east on Long Island. I'll report back on how well it went and how well the mirrors worked. I'll even try to add pictures.
The mirrors are very secure to the mirrors on our Ford Explorer Sport Track. It make hauling our 25' travel trailer much easier to see traffic.

CIPA Universal Towing Mirror - Clip On - Qty 1
My rating is less to do with the product and more with etrailer. I ordered an identical mirror (CIPA model 11950) on amazon for less than half the price, 1 day shipping, free delivery, and it did not fit my vehicle so I bought the one etrailer recommended for my vehicle. I thought it was CIPA model 7070 but that is just the etrailer model #. I got CIPA model 11950 which I already have. Now I need to return the ones to etrailer and I'm being charged $16 to do so. This could have been avoided if the CIPA model number was immediately visible in the description (it is there in small print at the bottom). Also, my vehicle's mirror (2018 explorer) is not the same as the 2018 explorer in the video and picture. So it's not accurate for etrailer to say it fits all 2018 Explorers.
I received the trailer mirrors on the date in which stated. The quality of the mirrors are great and easy to use. I highly recommend etrailer.com - the quality assurance and follow up to make sure you receive your order is excellent.

CIPA Universal Fit Dual-View Towing Mirror - Clip-On
To start, great price and fits my 2015 explorer very well. Easy to put on and have had no problems highway speeds and all. As most mirrors do there is a bit of shake but I expected such. My only reason for 3 stars is when I ordered I ordered 2 mirrors for both sides of vehicle. When package was delivered it was on the mirror box and looked a little rough shape. The mirror was fine but was definitely a concern when opening. On top of the mirror being shipped on original packaging as you would likely find on a shelf in a store there was no foam or anything to protect it but It did arrive fine. My last thing is that only 1 mirror was delivered. They were very quick to correct this and get me the other in as soon as possible and very polite. And the missing mirror can packed in a box with padding and made me very happy to see that. I would give a 5 star review on everything if I received both and packed better but the mirrors are great and would order again.
Clips do not fit between mirror and housing. While driving the vibration in mirror makes it difficult to see things. Difficult to adjust to proper angle.

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 Universal Fit Towing Mirror - Strap On - Black
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 - Passenger Side
Mirrors worked as intended and advertised. They move with the wind or bumps. Could use more straps or something else to hold in place better.
I already had the driver side mirror and needed the one for the passenger side. I have tried several extension mirrors but the CIPA is far better and stays put better than any add-ons. I really like the CIPA towing mirrors and the price is right also.

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.

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.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Passenger Side
Great option for a mirror extension that fits snug onto your existing mirror. Does not come off without effort because the positioning nut secures it (unlike the flimsy suction cup arm mirrors).
Good mirrors for towing 28 ft travel trailer... Only got 3 star as first trip went we went to leave on thursday 5-25 for our first trip and went to put on and the passanger mirror was missing the screw to hold it on so i had to zip tie it on...on tuesday i will be calling to see about getting a replacement screw for next trip and will see how customer service is...

K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirror - Electric/Heat w Turn Signal - Textured Black - Driver
I always wait for a period of time before writing a review to ensure I don't encounter problems shortly after receiving and using a product. I purchased this in the middle of December 2019, so I have been using it was several months. I purchased the outside mirror to replace a broken one on my Toyota Tundra. Received the mirror in a timely manner, and it met its description perfectly. Although I perform some repairs on my vehicles, by no means am I a mechanic or body repairman, I was able to remove the old mirror and install the new one in about 30 minutes. In the future I will not hesitate to order from etrailer for additional needs.
Great product and easy install. Mirrors look great

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.

I received 2 orders now from Etrailer, one I did online and one soeaking with their agent and both arrived fast and as ordered! Great job very satisfied with product as well! Thank you!
Rather on the high side on cost but they are easy it install and remove. Field of vision is not what it could be but better than the mirrors on the truck.
