2019 Honda Ridgeline
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.
by: Laura 03/22/2024
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!

2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
One was broken when I got them. It will be returned. The other one was securely attached. After 6 hours on the road it fell off into five lanes of traffic at 60 miles per hour. I did not go back to attempt to pick it up. Worthless junk. Do not buy.

While it is not perfect, these mirrors work reasonably. With our Subaru, special care is required to attach the the mirrors. This is due to he closeness of the gap between the movable reflexive part and the housing.
by: Daniel09/16/2023
I believe this is a good product. The best rear/side view I can attain to improve my rear/side view on the extremely undersized stock mirrors on our 2019 Suburban.
However, I have lost three mirrors in travel that have literally fell off the stock mirror frame. I even enhanced the last one with a stop nut to keep the clamping screw from possibly loosening during travel. Thought maybe it was loosening up from road vibrations. Also, the third mirror dropped off just this past weekend while rolling down the road. Needless to say, there is nothing left of the mirror after hitting the pavement. I still have a pair of mirrors that strap onto the stock mirrors that have never fallen off. I will probably use them until I find something better.
If you guys have any suggestions to keep these mirrors mounted, let me know.

I do have a set of towing mirrors that will work for you and they are a snap on mirror part # KS80920 on our site. Instead of using clips like universal mirrors they slide onto the existing mirror which gives it a snug fit. It is rare to loose a slide on mirror and based on your experience I think you would be happier with them.
by: Ron 05/22/2023
Well so far they fit easily onto my existing mirrors and they extend way out which is what I need. Haven’t used them yet on the road but I think they will work well.

Mirrors work good but they won’t stay attached on the passenger side. I lost one it blew off going 60 mph, so ordered a 3rd mirror from you, that one also blew off but I was able to recover it. If you have any tips on getting them to stay on I would really appreciate it.
by: Leonard04/03/2023
The mirrors look great and fit as I expected but I have not driven the truck yet to see how they will handle the rough ride, (Vibration) from the truck. My reason for not giving the Excellent rating. The mirrors gave me an additional 5 inches of visibility on each side of my 1995 Ford F250. GREAT!! I expect this to be just what I was looking for

I have not actually used the mirrors as it is winter in Billings Montana and none of my camping locations are open, but I did tried the mirrors on my vehicle to make sure they fit.

Fits great; highly adjustable; price is right!

The mirror vibrates alot which makes it unpleasant to use. If it was easier to put on I would just for backing up
But not worth it

Chevrolet Colorado
This mirror was the only one I could find that would work on my 2021 Chevy Colorado pickup. I have been very pleased with the mirrors. I have learned to check the tightness of the screw on clamps, each time I stop. I have lost two of these from road vibration. I now have 3 of them, so I have a spare if another one gets lost or broken.
by: Jim 03/22/2024
Quick shipping. Mirrors fit exactly as in simple assembly instructions. You can actually exceed 10 feet width with these mirrors.

Now I can see behind me asI drive with my camper on back.
by: Mark h10/06/2019
Mirror extensions. Very easy to put on. Fit like a glove and now I have great vision behind the trailer. Well worth the cost. Placed on Toyota Highlander 2018.

Only fair at best. One came off at freeway speed. The other needed a bungee cord to keep it from going out of position at freeway speed.
by: Kathy09/16/2022
I use these on a Ford Escape when towing my 13' camper. I will admit it took me a few tries to make sure they were tight enough to stay on but I figured it out. I make a point to check the knobs whenever I stop on my travels. After being on the road for a while my eyes adjust to just using the towing mirrors. I don't really notice much, if any, vibration from them. Glad I made the purchase.
by: Tony10/08/2022
Positionally, the mirror performs well. However, the tension brackets provide inadequate clamping strength. The mirror is essentially a sail that wind is pushing against as you drive down the road... constantly challenging the two lone clamps. You can only tighten the clamps so much before tension partially releases and you need to re-tighten. I lost one of these mirrors five minutes into my second 9 mile test drive on the freeway. I ended up employing a bungee/zip tie contraption as a safety net so I don't lose the other mirror. My vehicle is a 2014 Honda Odyssey.

to much trouble to keep on. used zip ties and still could not get them to stay on. tightened them down as much as I could.

Toyota 4Runner
When I picked up our Yamaha boat with our 4Runner, I could not see to change lanes on the way home. Never knew mirror extensions existed until a quick search online. Decided it was cheaper than a new truck with tow mirrors and I’m glad I bought these. I was hesitant at first, thinking they’d look tacky, but I mounted mine on the bottom of the mirror and they aren’t bad looking. They extend out plenty allowing me to see to back up and change lanes while driving. And they are extremely adjustable. And they can be removed in seconds when not needed. Do your homework before purchasing like I did, that way you’ll know if you over tighten the mounting screws you can potentially break the bracket. Knowing this, I just snug mine down with a reasonable amount of effort, and they stay put. Whoever designed these, thank you for creating a solution to what could have been a very expensive alternative had we purchased another vehicle with tow mirrors.

These mirrors worked great every time I used them, never had an issue. Would definitely recommend them.
by: John08/02/2023
The mirrors are of high quality and worked well on my 2016 Escalade. Until one didn't. Blew off on the highway. My fault, I am sure, but I thought they were plenty tight. In fairness, the Escalade mirrors did not lend themselves well to trailering add-ons. Now have a 2022 Silverado with Snap and Zap mirrors by K-Source that clamp over the factory mirrors. Work great and look great. Got them from you as well. Always impressed by your available inventory and great service!
by: David06/20/2022
works great, no issues with the product. I mounted them on the bottom of the mirror, just worked better that way. The issue I had was the driver side mirror folding in a couple times from trucks going past due to the added surface area.
David

All still good. No other folding in of the mirrors.

Great but we use a bungee cord to keep them on, safety
by: Manuel07/04/2020
Good mirrors allow you to see the back end of the trailer. Super easy instal and setup. Everything going well on our first ever trip with our new trailer and new mirrors, until return trip. My passenger side mirror was blown away. Contacted CIPA the manufacturer a week ago and never heard anything back from them they are just dismissing my inquiry. That the only reason for the low rating
by: Chris12/09/2023
I put these on my 2020 Ford Ranger. Tightened everything as tight as possible but only went about a mile at 40 mph and one flew off in ditch. Design should be set up so wind against it makes it tighter not fly off. Oh well, live and learn.
by: Patrick11/08/2019
These mirrors have been fitted to a 2014 VW Tiguan, pulling a Taxa Cricket trailer. I have had to modify the rubber pads on the mirror clamp by cutting each pad almost in half (see photo) to accommodate the car mirror design (see photo). I will glue the pads to the clamp to keep them from getting lost. The mirrors will do the job for which they were purchased. I have not yet driven at speed, but I do not anticipate any problems. The mirrors are securely attached.

2011 Toyota Tacoma
Needed extensions to see very narrow rowing-scull trailer behind my 2011 Toyota Tacoma. Can now see nearly whole trailer when going straight, and through all backing operations. Mounted unit to bottom of existing mirrors with extension mirror hinged downward (like other Tacoma customer). Added LocTite to fastenings. Quality of materials very good. Mirror sizes perfect, and convex shape just right. Thanks for a good product.

- Towing Mirror For A 2017 Coachmen Leprechaun With E-Series CutawayI do have a solution for you, but it will be a universal towing mirror. The CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clamp On - Qty 2 part # CM11980-2, will fit your 2017 Coachmen Leprechaun with the Ford E-Series Cutaway. I have included a product description link, a video of this mirror being installed on a 2014 Ford Van, and a video demo link below.

view full answer... - Tow Mirror Solution for 2019 Jeep Cherokee SummitWhile we don't have any custom fit tow mirrors that fit your 2019 Jeep Cherokee like the CIPA part # CM11401 that you referenced we do have universal tow mirrors like the CIPA part # CM11980-2 which we've test fit on similar Cherokees and found they fit well and would allow the mirror to still fold. Check out the install video I attached for these mirrors on a 2019 Cherokee.

The length of the bars can be adjusted to position each mirror closer to or farther from your Honda Passport. Custom fit clip on mirrors have not yet been released by venders for this vehicle.

They are very adjustable so getting the view you want will be easy. The dual clamps on each one will help to attach it to the outer housing on your mirror to get a good hold that will be very solid.

However the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clamp On - Qty 2 # CM11980-2 works well with almost all vehicles we have tried. My favorite option is the CIPA Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2 # 11953-2 because they fit on the factory housing and hold tight while allowing more viewing adjustment for best view. That is my recommendation for you. I've attached videos of both...

Due to the tapered size of the outer housing I can see how the straps aren't going to be as secure as you'd like. The best option would be the CIPA set part # CM11980-2 which would clip just to the top of the of the mirror housing which would eliminate any issues caused by straps or the shape of the mirror housing.

- Towing Mirrors for 2018 Ford ExpeditionWe can help you with towing mirrors for your 2018 Ford Expedition but the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors # CM11550 (set of two) and # CM11551 (driver side) only fit the F-150 pickup. For your 2018 Expedition we do not have any custom-fit mirrors but we do have universal fit towing mirrors that you can see on the linked page. For dual-lens mirrors I suggest CIPA # 11953-2 for your Expedition. We also have the K-Source # KS3990. Both are sets of two mirrors with a dual-lens design. For a single...

If that is the case then I recommend the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors part # CM11980-2 or the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS3891-2. These mirrors will both do an excellent job of extending your field of view. The CIPA mirrors will be easier to take on and off the vehicle but the downside of this easy on/off install is that they are not as secure as the K-Source mirrors. The added security from the straps are then...

- Air Ride and Shock Kit for Tandem Axle Trailer Plus Inverter and Towing MirrorsTo improve the ride quality of your tandem axle trailer the Lippert Center Point kit part # LC1565391 is a fit and would work well along with the shock kit part # LC281255 as long as you have 3,500 lb axles on your trailer that are 2-3/8 inches in diameter. Then for an inverter, converter charger, and automatic transfer switch the # 34275013 is a really great option. The CIPA tow mirrors part # CM11980-2 will fit your 2013 Dodge Durango Citadel as well. The prices are also available...
view full answer... - Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2007 Nissan TitanI have a solution for you, but the CIPA # CM11401 is designed to fit on mirrors for Dodge Ram trucks. Unfortunately there are not a slip-on style mirror available for your Nissan Titan, so I instead recommend using the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2 which are a universal fit towing mirror that will fit on your 2007 truck. I've linked a review video of these mirrors on a newer Nissan Titan that I recommend having a look at.
view full answer... - Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 with Telescoping MirrorsAs long as your mirrors don't have the chrome casing on them the best solution is the CIPA Towing Mirrors part # CM11980-2 which will clip to the top lip of your telescoping mirrors for a wider viewing angle. There are no slip-on style mirrors that fit the telescoping mirrors you have on your truck currently.
view full answer... - Replacement Clamps for CIPA Tow Mirrors part # CM11980-2Yes, we do offer replacement clamps for the CIPA tow mirrors part # CM11980-2 that you referenced. For that you'd want the part # CM11980C which is a single clamp.

If your Tundra has the turn signals built into the glass, or no turn signals on the mirrors, these will work well for you. If you've got the external turn signals you can instead use the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2, which are a clamp on mirror with extendable...

- Towing Mirrors for 2017 Nissan TitanThere are options for towing mirrors for your 2017 Nissan Titan, but not for replacement mirrors that you would be able to extend out.

- What is Difference Between CIPA Towing Mirrors # CM11980 and # CM11980-2The difference between the two part numbers is the quantity of the mirror assemblies that comes with it. The part # CM11980 is the mirror sold individually whereas the # CM11980-2 is for a pair of them.

We haven't had a chance to test fit it on a 2002 Ford Explorer as of yet, but I see no reason why they wouldn't fit. We have confirmed that this mirror fits over 100 different vehicles, 4 of which have been different model year Explorers (see linked videos). They will not affect any of the functions of your stock mirrors. If you were wanting to order 2 of them then we have those listed as part # CM11980-2.
