K-Source Universal Towing Mirror - Clip On - Convex Mirror - Qty 1
After years of replacing mirrors from other sources I purchased a pair of these. There fantastic, plenty of adjustments. Got covid on vacation, really sick and did not properly install mirror. Not broken but scratched badly from asphalt at 55 mph. Purchased a replacement, scratched one is my spare.
I already had mirror extensions because I pull a travel trailer, but one got broken off so I needed a replacement. I chose this different model and am happy I did because it gives me a clear view of what might be coming up on my left side. I can easily see if I am able to change lanes. I do still like the other model though, and it works perfectly for the right side because I have three different aspects to help me know when to pull back in after passing. I highly recommend both models. Shipping was fast.

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.

A nice alternative for temporary mirrors for trailer hauling. They didn't interfere with the remote mirror adjustment on the factory installed outside mirrors and held securely once adjusted. I used them on a 2019 Honda Ridgeline.
We needed these extended mirrors on our van when pulling our camper. They fit perfect on our 2014 E250. Husband was very happy with the added rear vision they provide. The mirrors stayed put and adjusted even on the interstate. Great purchase!

K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Pair
They will not stay on the mirrors for a 2023 Grand Cherokee. After very careful installation they fell off because the shape of the mirror is rounded and you cannot get a good grip to hold the mirror on
The mirrors worked better than I expected and fit a Kia Sorento quite well. The design is pretty easy to mount and dismount once they're set up.Ive wind tested them to 72 mph when passing and they've held tight

These are working out great! I'm now a wiz at putting them on too. They're great quality, sturdy and snug fitting. Very happy.
Reviewing the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Convex Mirror Installed on a 2017 KIA Sorento LX. Clean the back of your mirrors before ratcheting these on, it will help them stay in place. I wanted the best angle possible, so I installed then further out on the mirrors. Due to the curvature of the KIA mirror housings, I was not 100% confident that I wouldn’t lose a mirror while on the road. A few zip ties around the base of the housing increased my comfort level. Mirrors held fast at highway speeds. Do they vibrate? Yes. Can I tell you the eye color of the driver in the other vehicle? No. Do they show me much more of the blind spots I cannot see with my vehicle mirrors? ABSOLUTELY. Notice the difference in which vehicles I can see in the pictures. Please excuse the dirty windows, we were camping after all. Overall I am happy with the clip on mirrors. I will be fashioning a Velcro safety strap and would recommend something similar be added to the product.

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.
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'.

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.

K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On - Driver and Passenger Side
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.
Easy to use and fit as promised. Would love to have stock extending mirrors on my next truck but this gives me the mirrors I need today for towing my Airstream.

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.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver Side and Passenger Side
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...
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.

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

the right side mirrors should match the vehicle's mirror's magnification(reduction actually) the full sized reflection is very distracting
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!

K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On - Driver and Passenger Side
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.
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.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Driver Side
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.
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.

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.

K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Flat Mirror - Qty 2
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!!!!

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!

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.
I like the mirrors. However, I find that the straps stretch when they get wet, and the rubber pads do not stick very well, tending to slide, causing the mirrors to move out of alignment while traveling.
