K-Source Universal Towing Mirror - Clip On - Flat Mirror - Qty 1
I haven't road tested it yet, but it seems to strap on as well as could be expected from a universal fit product. Seems like the car mirror will still function and the straps will not damage the finish on the mirror. I used some rubber pieces from a bike tube to play it safe. Seems like an additional strap wrapping diagonal around the mirror on the edge closed to the car would mitigate risk for slipping off the tapered mirror.
I had my doubts about these mirrors when I purchased them, however after about a year and over 10,000 miles, they have work just great!!! They are exactly what I was looking for, they stay put and do not wiggle around. I would recommend these mirrors for anyone looking to purchase strap on trailer mirrors.

CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror - Clamp On - Adjustable Length - Steel
For my ram 1500 they worked great. Unfortunately the half ton trucks just don’t come equipped with mirrors good for towing large trailers. After I clamped on these extendable towing mirrors I was a little worried they may come off in transit or they may scratch the finish on my new truck but once they were on they stayed on without having to stop and retighten them and it didn’t appear to scratch anything either. I am definitely towing with a lot more confidence when my 25’ camper is behind me.
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!
Used these for a year, and camping about 10 times during that year, all over the state and they still work and look great! I highly recommend this product!

The tow mirrors are perfect. They fit well and do exactly what we needed. Customer service was fantastic. I needed the mirrors sooner than the shipping date. I called customer service and the representative was ver accommodating- we received them even sooner than she had said. Have ordered from etrailer before and will continue to do si.
Easy on and off. We use them on a 2017 Ford Edge when we pull out camper.

CIPA Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2
Have not been on the road with the product yet but the extended mirrors snapped onto the mirrors of my 2014 Ford Edge very nicely. Looking forward to heading down the road with them.
They will work but the fit is really poor and I am sure they will not last long. Unfortunately, there is no custom fit mirror available for a 2020 Escalade so these will "have to do". It's very hard to tow a 30ft. trailer without the help of extended rear view mirrors. I would not recommend this product. I have attached pictures of the driver-side when "attached" (before driving). As you can see, hopefully, the fitment is abysmal. The mirror is the same for the passenger side. There are four (4) clips on the product that are to hook into the vehicle mirror. Only three (3) fit into the Escalade mirror. This causes an immediate problem with alignment and any pressure, like wind when driving, blows the mirror out of shape making it useless. There does not seem to be a fix for this as the base of the vehicle mirror is narrower than the spacing of the clips on the product.

K-Source Custom Blind-Spot Mirrors w/ Optical Blue Lenses - Driver and Passenger Side
I ordered the mirrors for my Expedition, and just put them on today. I really like the visibility factor and the blue tint. I haven't gotten my boat out from winter storage until next week, and I am looking forward to using the mirrors for towing. I have used them today to see how they worked while trailering our two bikes on the rear bike rack, and indeed, they do give you the extra visibility. Good Job..
Unfortunately, I have lost both mirrors due to the stick on substance not holding. But, they did work good til they disappeared.
This is the first time I have ordered something from etrailer that I have not been very very happy with that is why I only gave it three out of five stars the product itself was fine the method for mounting it really was the pits they ought to be ashamed of the mounting tape they send with those mirrors if I had used that I would not have made it out of the driveway before they have would have fallen off. Thank the Lord for super glue. For $4 it's a good buy as long as you have a bottle of super glue.

These mirrors are an embarrassment. After cranking them down to the point of cracking the casing on the mirror these things didn’t even make THE FIRST HALF OF THE TRIP. In fact one fell off within the first 60 miles. The other held “strong” for another 100 before flying to its death (despite being checked for tightness at the gas stop between). Ultimately this was an incredible waste of money and the $xx.xx mirror extensions I bought at [auto shop] to get home have now outlasted these by almost 7000 miles. I wish I had photos to share, but if you want to recreate it for yourself follow these simple instructions 1) take $xxx and light it on fire 2) take 2 mirrors and throw them out the window of your car at 55mph and watch them explode on the street 3) leave this site and go by cheaper mirrors somewhere else and enjoy life again.
Yes I was very disappointed in this product. The mounting mechanics are not strong enough to secure the mirror extension to the existing mirror at highway speeds. The clamps seemed to be tightened sufficiently without crushing the factory mirror housing but turns out not to be the case. One of the mirrors fell off the vehicle while driving creating a hazard to other traffic.

K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Flat Mirror - Qty 2
After extensive searching and meticulous scrutiny I chose the K Source trailering mirrors. I chose them because of their design features. The pivots in the mounting arms, the thickness of the arms, the system design using a track guided wide finger to locate n the truck's mirror edge, the width and thickness of the straps to secure the mirrors, and the design and quality of the ratchet and quick release system. I felt certain these were quality mirrors and I would get what I paid for. I mounted them and was very pleased with the ease and rigidness of the installation. I went out and ran down the interstate at 65 mph there was not vibration or shake of the assembly or mirrors. I got home and found the installation was rock solid after the test. I removed the mirrors and found there was no scratching or rub marks on the truck's factory mirrors. I got what I paid for and they are worth every penny. I AM SO PLEASED WITH THESE MIRRORS!!. Thank you very much etrailer.com.
Great mirror. I use it on a 2019 Ridgeline. It takes a few minutes to set up properly the first time. Pay attention to the clips that fit inside the mirror frame. You may need to readjust your power mirrors after installing these. No big deal. The only issue was the rounded sloping edge of the Ridgeline mirrors. I ended up adjusting the outside buckle all the way but they both held firm for the entire trip with very little vibration on Louisiana highways.

Longview Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver and Passenger Side
Simple design and effective Easy to install but my drivers side didnt fit to my mirror good Upper edge was up. Will function, just not quite right
I had some trouble installing the mirror extensions on my 2012 Chevy Tahoe. As you can see in the photo below, the J-hook with the flat disc is not long enough to reach the adapter. It measures 3 inches from the large hole in the shell to the inside of the OEM mirror. Since the J-hook is only 3 inches long, there is no way to attach the knob to it. All the other applications seem to place the large hole in the shell much closer to the edge of the mirror. The shell does fit very nicely to the OEM mirror with no gaps. I solved the problem by using 'ball bungees' in place of the J-hooks. These are used to attach tarps to metal frames, awnings, etc. I used three ball bungee's (2 on top and 1 on the bottom). I think these work much better. The extension mirror is tight against the factory mirror and the bungees hold it there without scratching the paint. I like this set-up much better so I won't need the KLV 4010 kit. You might consider a re-design. I didn't like the threaded J-hooks. It was very hard to screw on the knobs the first time without cross-threading them and I suspect they are prone to breakage. If someone bumps in to the mirrors in the parking lot, the bungees just stretch and nothing breaks. Probably a lot cheaper too.

K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On - Driver and Passenger Side
Out of the box, the mirrors didn't fit properly. I couldn't get the bottom snaps to fit over the edge like they are supposed to. So, I just used a heat gun to slightly soften that area and expanded it just a little. That did the trick. It takes some effort to unlatch the bottom clip so I'm confident the mirrors will not fall off. It's a good design. The actual reflective part of the mirror is easy to adjust and has a greater range of movement than my last mirrors - the ones that fell off. We are looking forward to getting on the road in a couple of weeks for a real test.
Had to replace them because I bought a new car and these didnt fit. I replaced them with the same product that fit the new car. Very pleased.
I installed these on my 05 chev, they were hard to get snapped on the bottom so I used a small trim tool to pry them out far enough to hook over the edge. It was 30 degrees out when I was installing them and the did not crack so that is a good product. They vibrate going down the road but still better than not know what is behind the trailer.

Easy off and on. The fit on my outside rearview mirror is outstanding. Works great with my 24' Thor. The inside edge of the added mirror lines up perfectly with the outside edge of trailer. Very pleased with the product

CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror - Strap On - Black
Basic product seems good. The suction pads could be a bit better- my MBZ. mirrors are very roundy at the outer edge, and the devise is a bit tricky to tighten enough to seat all 3 pads. Haven't driven with them yet, but hoping they stay put!
Unhappy with the way this mirror mounts to our 2003 Ford van. It will not stay tight. Many hours of pulling over,and ajusting. I belive e-trailer should suggest a different alturnative to the CTM2500 custom mirror. I will be returning them this week, Thankyou,Gil Ruehmeier

CIPA Universal Fit Dual-View Towing Mirror - Clip-On
Have not been on the road with the product yet but the extended mirrors snapped onto the mirrors of my 2014 Ford Edge very nicely. Looking forward to heading down the road with them.
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.

Low cost way to extend mirrors. Does not interfere with mirror movement at all. Also still keeps turn signal visible. Only removed 1 star as it is easy to scratch the plastic on the edge of the mirror housing facing the window when installing or removing the mirrors.

Works great. They do work with the F150 mirrors that have the turn signals on the outside edge of the mirror. You just can't see the turn signal with the towing mirrors installed. Fit is excellent, no rattling or vibration. Easy 5 minutes installation.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Driver Side
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.
An excellent item for anyone needing a wider field of vision for trailer hauling (RV, boat, Cargo, etc.) Having gotten use to the added visible area, I rarely removed them, except going through a carwash. A great safety feature, not only while backing a trailer, by adding the extra width of vision needed for passing other vehicles, or spotting approaching vehicles from the rear in adjacent lanes.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver Side and Passenger Side
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.
Works as expected. Using for hauling 25ft travel trailer. A little awkward putting them on but I’m getting better at it. Passenger side vibrates a bit but acceptable. I would recommend these mirrors.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver Side and Passenger Side
Products are great, thank you!! Your shipping dept. was a week behind in shipments which I would have gotten my products on time. No one contacted me so I had to follow up and pay extra for a UPS Next Day Air shipment which was shipped on Saturday, and I finally received on Tuesday. I do appreciate the extra effort of the shipping dept to get the shipment out but all this was because Etrailer was behind in shipments and no effort to contact me to let me know. Thank you for trying to correct this problem at my expense. Ken Gossett
Super!! Great product!!
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.
These mirrors are like new after a year of traveling in all kinds of weather - from snow to rain to sleet to broiling sunshine. I couldnt ask for a better extendable mirror. No deterioration has shown up in the form of fading or fractures.

Longview Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver and Passenger Side
The mirrors fit nice and snug and seem to be well made. Given the cost they are worth every penny. The only issue that I have is my Ford truck model is a King Ranch and there is no cutouts for the spot lights that I have on my mirrors. Not a huge issue, just have to take off the mirror if I need to use them.
After a year of occasional use, the driver's side mirror still works well, but the passenger side one has loosened and I don't see a way to adjust the tension on it. As far as fit and holding steady at speed, they are good. If the tension had held, or was easy to adjust, it would be 5 stars.

Each one of the four tabs is not going to interfere with too much of the movement or operation of our factory mirror, and we can even still fold it in.
So far, so good. The only complaint I might mention is the the straps should be permanently attached to the mirrors. They have a tendency to come off while you are putting the mirrors on. Other than that, they work well!!!
