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.
Purchased a pair for our 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee towing a nuCamp 400 from FL to AK and back. Three months and around 16k miles. Pros - other than an adjustment the second day, I never had to adjust the tension straps again. They were easy to mount and did not interfere with our mirrors folding inward. They weathered three months on the road without issue though I was beginning to worry about the straps becoming brittle. I noticed this once I removed them. Had I kept them, I would have used some silicon to rejuvenate the rubber. Cons - the only con is they shake. They shake to the point that sometimes I couldn't distinguish what exactly was behind me. I knew there was a vehicle, but the distortion from the vibration prohibited me from getting a clear view of exactly what was behind us. Impressions - they worked for our trip but I knew I would want something else for our next long trip, so we invested in a Furrion Reviewing Camera.

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.
Fit mostly well on vehicle. Have not used on road yet. Time will tell

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 - Clamp On - Adjustable Length - Steel
Easy to install and remove. Minimal vibration with a great field of vision. Great buy.
Excellent product. Easy to put on. Took them off, put them in my camper storage. Next trip out, when I put them on, I did not even need to adjust them! The mirrors are slight contour and slight magnification, which makes them easy to see. There is virtually NO vibration during travel. (I have had others that shimmied so bad you could not see a thing.) I flip my driver side mirror in frequently to check my mail box, so it is not very stiff. So I ran a small bungee from the clamp to the grill under my hood. Did this for both sides. My driver side flipped in when traveling at interstate speeds, so I put a second bungee on it. Fixed the problem. Allen bolts at top of clamp are rusting after 2nd use. All in all though, I am very pleased with this product and it is well worth the money spent. It is the only product I could find to properly fit my 2011 Toyota Tacoma, because it clamps on the mirror frame and does not rest on my truck mirrors. Great Product!

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.

So-so construction and design. With one modification they're more than acceptable. The arms and straps will slip and loosen if installed on triangular or tapered housings. Mirrors that have backs nearly parallel to the mirror face, and have upper and lower mirror edges that are nearly parallel are not affected. Adding a peel and stick plastic wall hanger to a tapered housing will stop the strap from slipping and loosening. The ball and socket mount is good and tight, but the stud on the ball is loose in the arm. I think most of the jitter and vibration others report is from this sloppy clearance that the stud screw can't tighten enough. I'll be addressing that as well. A nice option for those of us that a) don't tow a majority of the time and don't want full time extended mirrors, and/or b) tow with multiple vehicles and prefer to have adjustability to fit our 'fleet'.
I ordered these for a 2023 Tundra after being advised to do so. The straps seem to be too short and to get them attached I'm really stretching then out and they're difficult to mount. I'm concerned they're going to pull off with so much tension and very little strap left threading through the tensioner.

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!

We haven't used them yet while driving the RV, but the fit is perfect! Very happy with these extenders

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.

Installation was very easy and secure. On test run there was no vibration angles remain constant for easy rearview examination
Ordered for my 2000 Chevrolet K2500 pickup. Great fit. Quick delivery.

I like these but I would have given them 4.5 stars if possible and I'll explain below. The shipping was fast. They arrived in good shape. Right out of the box the construction didn't inspire confidence, these are lightweight. They slide on horizontally to the OEM mirror & fit snuggly, then a wedge is tightened in place between the tow mirror and the OEM mirror to prevent the tow mirror from sliding back off. The tow mirrors are easy to install and from a short distance look better than some of the other "clamp-on" styles. A plus! I have tried these a couple of times at speeds of up to 80mph (we can do that in Idaho), and yes, I don't plan to tow a trailer that fast but a strong headwind would easily exceed an 80 or 90mph effective speed. (we get that in Idaho too) During the tests they performed well, never loosened, no noticeable vibrations in the view. I was impressed. Overall, I would buy these again and recommend to a friend.
I had the mirrors for about four months and one of the mirrors just fell off was not happy. Obviously it shattered on the ground. The adhesive is very cheap on them called customer service. They sent me out a new one, but was told this happens quite often with those. I think the adhesive Hass to be better.

CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirrors - Strap On - Qty 2
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.
Honda Odyssey 2010 is what these mirrors are used for by me. Once I get them positioned where I want them, which was quite the project the first time, they work fine, giving driver critically necessary views of our A-line trailer. After a period of driving, though, their position shifts, they start to sag, they simply cant hold on tight enough to the half-melted-bar-of-soap aero-shape of our Honda mirrors. Not the fault of CIPA, it IS a universal fit it says. Some fits will be better than others. There are no mirrors I could find dedicated to 09 - 11 Honda Odysseys. These work, don't get me wrong, and I'll keep using them, since there's nothing else available, but it took a while to discover the routine that gets them mounted where they stand half a chance to last a trip. The tension locking knobs are a righteous pain in the patooty. I would say to look long and hard for a mirror made specifically for your application before you buy these. If nothing is available, well... OK, maybe these will work for you. So far they have for me, once I got it all figured out.

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

CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver Side and Passenger Side
Fit well on the mirrors on my 2005 dodge ram, but to much vibration and unable to see when pulling down the road. However they were very helpful for backing up my trailer, which was the main reason I bought them.
Mirrors fit and look far better than others I had purchased. Easy to put on the truck, compared to others using straps and even then those aren't all that secure. These mirrors once put on properly don't move. So glad to finally get hold of a product that actual works like advertised.

They seem like they will work although The fit isn't as good as I was hoping. I will find out the first time I do 60 mph in the New Mexico winds. They appear to be worth the price.
Upon finding that the towing mirrors did not fit my vehicle I called them from Canada, explained to them about the issue at hand and they were very understanding and fair with the resolution. I will definitely use this business again and highly recommend the service provided from the etrailer team. Best regards,

CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver Side and Passenger Side
I would like it to be extendable a bit further on the passenger side. The driver's side is fine though. The passenger side does not let one see far enough away from the side of the trailer. All in all, I like it better than drilling holes into the doors of my pickup to install huge mirrors. These look way better and are sufficient.
Not long after putting on the truck, the mirror fell off

The mirrors fit my 1997 Ford F250 HD perfectly. The threaded clips and threaded nob are cheap. The plastic threads that tighten the mirror to the vehicle are easily damaged. Mirrors would be better if the clips were made better. Giving 4 stars based on the flimsy clips.
The concept is great, however the connection to the mirror has a plastic screw, not the ones shown here in the picture which look to be metal. I have not even used the mirrors and first time removing them, the plastic screw (why??) breaks.
