Comparing K-Source # KS3891-2 vs CIPA # 7070-2 Universal Fit Towing Mirrors
Question:
K-Source KS3891-2 vs CIPA 7070-2- These mirrors look to be nearly identical, but the K-Source cost double when they are on sale! Are the K-Source that much better than the CIPA in terms of quality or use? What are you getting with the K-Source that youre not getting with the CIPAs for that price difference? Thanks!

K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2 # KS3891-2 and the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2 # 7070-2 are very similar products from two different manufacturers. What you get with the K-Source mirrors that you don't get with the CIPA mirrors is the ease of mounting and removal. The CIPA products have rubber straps to give you a tight grip, but they don't give you the ratcheting or quick release. I've attached videos of each installation for you to compare.
