Specs:
Expand your field of vision and reduce blind spots with these easy-to-install, slip-on towing mirrors. By attaching these mirrors to your factory side-view mirrors, you'll be able to see past the end of your trailer so you can safely change lanes, pass other motorists, and park. The housing of each slide-on mirror is constructed of durable ABS plastic, as are the included components.
This set fits factory mirrors like those pictured above.
These towing mirrors are designed to seamlessly fit the contours of your factory side-view mirrors. Each one includes felt padding inside the housing that protects the factory mirror body from scratches and scuffs. Installation is a snap - just slide the towing mirror over your OEM mirror and insert the provided arm and hand knob through the back of the mirror housing. Then hook the arm around the inside edge of your OEM mirror. Finally, tighten the hand knob to secure the towing mirror in place.

Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at the Custom Slide-on Towing Mirrors. These towing mirrors are going to extend your line of sight so it's easier and safer to see your trailer and everything else going on around you, so it's less nerve wracking to drive with that trailer. When you're changing lanes, driving on narrow roads, that sort of thing, you'll be able to see your trailer easier with these extended mirrors. It's going to make it all a lot easier for you, take some of the pressure off.This kit does come with both the driver and passenger side mirrors.
They are going to install very easily. It's not going to take much time at all. You just simply slide them over the factory mirrors, take the little hook here, put that on the mirror and then take the knob and screw it in on the other side. Tighten it down until it is tight. That is going to serve two purposes.
Obviously it's not going to allow your towing mirror to slide off, but then also when you have that nice and tight, it's going to help reduce the vibration of your mirror, so you're going to get a much clearer image as you're driving along. This does have premium glass so it's going to minimize the distortion and glare that you get with mirrors.They do slide onto your OEM mirrors without scratching or harming them. It's not going to reduce your fold-in or breakaway function of your mirror. If you we're to hit a post or something as you we're parking, it would still allow your mirror to fold in like normal.Now this is a custom mirror set, so it is going to fit your 1997-2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette, as well as your 1997-2005 Chevrolet Venture, your 1999-2005 Pontiac Montana, as well as your 1997-1999 Pontiac Trans Sport Van.They do have the dynamic or aerodynamic shape that your OEM mirror has, so it's not going to take away from that and make them any more resistant or anything. They do have a nice black textured finish on the back.
They're going to look nice as well as be functional for you. They are made here in the USA. So you can trust they're made to the high quality standards you've come to know and trust for products made here in the US. They do have a one-year limited warranty that comes from Longview Custom Towing Mirrors. If you we're to have any problems within that first year, you could give them a call.
They would help you out with that. But I really don't think you're going to have any problems. I think these are going to be a great option for you.If your vehicle is one of those, that this is a custom fit for, you can trust it is going to slide right on into that mirror. You're not going to have any problems with that. It's going to do a good job of holding itself onto that mirror so you're reducing that vibration. Most importantly, it's going to extend that line of sight so that you can see your trailer as you're towing.That's going to complete our look at the Custom Slide-on Towing Mirrors. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Enhance your towing experience by expanding your field of vision with these towing mirrors. Custom-fit mirrors slide over your vehicle's factory mirrors to improve sightlines while towing your trailer. Tool-free installation.Just installed them and tried. It would be great if they did not vibrate that much; unfortunately they do; so we will have to find a way to improve it.
easy to use. works well.
Perfect fit ty.
These mirror extensions fit the contours of my Sequoia’s mirrors perfectly, and they don’t rattle. The mirror is fully adjustable and stay put. Well done
5,000 plus miles and counting. Leave them on even when not towing. No wiggle. Mountings still secure. Aerodynamic and much more attractive than other mounting systems. Pricy but well worth it. Toyota did not even offer towing mirrors for the 1st generation Tundras!!!
I have not used them as of yet, but the fit is very good. The quality is very good as well. I was surprised that I could get towing mirrors for my 2001 Toyota Sequoia.
Can't find something that fits this good! I have a 2002 Ford Ranger and am pulling a '67 Shasta Compact - the trailer is not very big, but these new mirrors are going to add a LOT of extra visibility when it comes to my husband telling me how to back up - HAH! And when they are on, they look like they came with the truck. The added mirror size is impressive and you can manually adjust the mirror.
They are perfect for what I needed, have used them on two long trips out west towing a travel trailer. They go on and off easy. Hardware is a plastic but it works. For the price they are great.
Clear image, do not shake too much, passenger side attachment bolt needs to be longer
Tight fitting, clean look, these mirrors will surprise you with how simple they are to install/remove. Perfect for hauling your travel trailer. Competitive pricing.
Super easy to install. Great value for a good quality product. Thanx for the fast shipping too.
Used these on long sone rough back country roads, they were very secure and work well. My concern about the design were not valid. The do hold well
Delivery was quick. The mirrors slipped on with ease and fit well over the existing mirrors and looked almost factory attached. Then came the task for securing the attachments to the vehicle. While the concept is easy someone forgot to check deminsions of the parts and were to short to work on my vehicle. I contacted etrailer by chat and asked if there were alternatives for securing the mirrors and unfortunately there weren't any. Then came my decision to use heavy duty electrical looped through the hole the sent hardware was to be inserted through. Unless you look closely they are not easily seen. When I want to remove the mirrors I simply snip the cable tie on each mirror and ues new ones the next time I need to use the mirrors. While my "fix" works they only 3 star because to the attachment hardware.
this is the second set I have purchased this summer (traded trucks). mirrors do a great job of improving the rear vision of trailer. Gets out and beyond the camper. Both sets function great the second pair the finish had some minor inperfections but they are after all temporary mirrors. I would buy rhem again. Great price for great reults. I also parked truck in the hot sun and put a cord around mirrors just to form it tighter to my mirrors on second set not needed, just me
Be aware. The pad coming with those mirrors is way to small. There will be spots, where the inner of the mirrors touches the plastic of your real mirror. It will strach them! Tried to pad the mirror more from the inside. But its not possible to get such a thin pad like the one coming with these mirrors. In this case, they get to thick and dont fit anymore.
Currently on use on a 1995 Chevy Suburban (aftermarket mirrors).
These mirrors seem to be well-made and are advertised as fitting all Ford vans from 1997 - 2002. I own a 1999 E350, and while the mirrors slide over the existing mirrors, they do not quite match the external shape of my mirrors - which are the stock factory mirrors . My mirrors are also a bit wider than these mirrors were designed for, so the hole for the attaching clamp does not extend far enough to the inside for the provided attachment clamp to fit through it. I was able to fabricate a clamp using a large picture hangar hook, a 3.5 inch 10-32 bolt, an aluminum sleeve cut at 45 degrees, a couple of washers and a nut, so I will be able to use the mirrors, but it has taken a bit of doing. Can't really find anything else other than complete factory mirror replacement, so for me, they should do the job.
Excellent service again, thank you etra iler
Their customer service is top notch. I ordered mirrors in November after my fall trip and put them in the garage. In March I opened the box to discover 2 parts were missing. They sent me new parts and I'm in business. Thanks!
The mirrors have performed excellently for a year. I will most likely need to change trucks before I will need to change mirrors. thank you for a great product.
Product will work exactly how I expected, however the plastic is a lot cheaper feeling than I was hoping for. Gotta be careful with the hardware that feels like software so that I can get my moneys worth.
Mirrors are easy to take on and off and feel very secure. Which makes them work very well for towing my camp trailer during the summer.
i do question longevity of these mirrors because attachment is based on tension of a plastic threaded bolt.
The CTM2500 Fit my 2000 Ford E250 van power factory mirrors very nicely. They mounted easily and with the single screw knob clamped up tight. They also folded-in with the factory mirrors. I have not had the opportunity to "use" the mirrors while towing yet. The CTM2500 mirrors look real good mounted on my van (see photos).
Well built, easy install.
Bought the custom extensions mirrors for my Silverado to aid in backing up our new camper trailer. Easy to install and remove. Videos were a great help. They not only helped in parking the camper but added a great deal of visibility while driving which makes for a safer trip.
These work great on my 2001 Mazda truck. I use them when towing my 17 travel trailer. I’ve tried various clip-on, suction cup, and strap-on extension mirrors. Some time or another, these mirrors will suddenly give and fall off. I don’t have to worry about that with these Longview mirrors. Wish I had found these years ago.

After a year review: we decided to get rid of them long ago. Do not waste your money, unless you want to use it for a short period at the time to park, etc.
