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.

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!
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.

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.

This set of mirror failed the cut.
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
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.

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.

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.
by: Jeffrey06/14/2024
Worked well. Just came up on a year since purchase and lost one mirror while driving. Have not decided to replace it just working with one now
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.

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: N06/18/2024
Junk! Mirror was installed per manufacture instructions and fell off during trip. etrailer customer has failed to step up and will not allow a return or reimbursement.
Don’t waste your money. Buy something else from somewhere else.
by: Kathleen05/23/2024
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

Now I can see behind me asI drive with my camper on back.
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: Jim 03/22/2024
Quick shipping. Mirrors fit exactly as in simple assembly instructions. You can actually exceed 10 feet width with these mirrors.
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.

Easy to install and easy to take off.
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!

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: David 06/06/2024
They’ll do the trick for what I need. Seem to be well built and easy install. Would recommend.
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.

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

- Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2023 Toyota TundraWe have one set of universal style tow mirrors that fit your 2023 Toyota Tundra with the K-Source mirrors part # KS69ZR which we had the chance to install on a similar 2022 Tundra which I attached a review video for. We found the install was easy, the mirror was stable, and the wider view provided was helpful.
view full answer... - Are There Extended Towing Mirrors Which Fit With Factory Extendable Towing Mirrors 2006 Ford F-350?As your 2006 Ford F-350 already has the pull out style mirrors like the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors # KS61213-14F you would only be able to add the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2 that will clamp onto the top of the mirror housing. There currently is no one manufacturing custom fit mirrors which will slide onto the style mirrors you have.
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... - Can the Arm On the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors Be ReplacedIt sounds like you may have the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors part # CM11980-2. If that is the case then although they don't offer the replacement parts you need, you can purchase just one mirror instead of the entire set, the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror part # CM11980.

The 2004 - 2014 Ford F-150 trucks are what they fit. For your 2008 Ford E-150, we have custom extendable towing mirrors and then universal fit options. For the full replacements you can use # KS61199-00F for electric adjustment or # KS61201-02F for manual adjustment. If you don't want to replace the mirrors then I recommend using the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors...
view full answer... - Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2015 Nissan FrontierThe best tow mirror solution we have for your 2015 Nissan Frontier would be the K-Source tow mirrors part # KS3990 that we had the chance to install on a 2015 Nissan Frontier and found they fit great, provided excellent visibility and were very secure. I attached a link to a demo video that shows us installing and using these mirrors on your exact truck. The part # CM11980-2 is a fit for your truck but it's not my favorite option as I just don't really like how it attaches to the mirror...
view full answer... - Will CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors Prevent Factory Mirrors From Rotating on 2019 Nissan PathfinderI reached out to CIPA and the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2 is tapered to insert into the gap between the vehicle mirror housing and the mirror face. Since it will allow for normal mirror operation it will also give you enough clearance for your mirrors to rotate down when in reverse. I have attached an installation video for your reference.

They clip to the top of the mirror housing and will give you a wider view behind you. I attached a review video for these for you to check out too.

These towing mirrors clamp onto your factory side-view mirrors to extend your lines of sight and the length of the bars can be adjusted to position each mirror closer to or farther from your Toyota Highlander so you can get the view point you are needing. I have included a couple pictures of these towing mirrors on a 2020 Highlander so you can have an idea of how they look...

- 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.

Not only does this offer you 7-1/2" wide x 4-5/8" tall surface area of additional visibility, these mirrors also come with adjustable bars that allow you to position each mirror closer or farther from your vehicle. As far as attachment, the CIPA mirrors clamp onto your current factory side mirrors. If you need an idea of how the mirrors install,...
view full answer... - Recommended Towing Mirrors for a 2020 Honda RidgelineThere are really only two types of towing mirror options for a 2020 Honda Ridgeline, clip-on and clamp-on. If you have already tried the clip-on then the next option you'll want to try is clamp-on, the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors part # CM11980-2 which work well for most vehicles. That said, this is not really a popular tow vehicle so towing mirror options are limited. There are no custom fit options but I do think these will work well for this vehicle.

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.

This has not yet been tested but I would say it is a pretty safe bet to assume they will. For a set of towing mirrors that we have confirmed fit of, 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...

- Towing Mirror Recommendation for 2017 Nissan FrontierWhile we don't have a set of custom install tow mirrors for your 2017 Nissan Frontier we have universal style mirrors like the part # CM11980-2 which we know will work well on your vehicle. These mirrors are very stable and provide an excellent viewing angle while towing. Plus these are very easy to install.
view full answer... - Recommended Towing Mirrors For An Airstream Interstate Class B Motorhome Hey David, Most of the clip-on style towing mirrors use straps, which could end up blocking the camera built into your mirror. The CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2 has a small tapered clip that will slip into the space between the mirror and its housing and block that tightens down to hold the towing mirror to the factory mirror. We haven't had this newer style of mirror in to test strap-style mirrors so this mounting style is likely going to be the only option. The spacing...

For your Explorer Platinum I recommend taking a look at the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2. We have actually installed these on your model Explorer (see attached image and video) and found them to fit perfectly. These are really nice mirrors that will just clamp to the factory mirror housings...

- Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2011 Toyota FJ CruiserI have a solution for you, but because of the slightly odd shape of the mirrors on your 2011 FJ Cruiser, the K-Source # KS69ZR aren't a good choice. Instead, I recommend using the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror - Clamp On - Adjustable Length - Steel # CM11980-2 since they only clamp to the tops of the mirrors, which makes them a much better fit for your FJ. I've seen where other FJ owners have gone to these when they needed towing mirrors and have been very happy; I've also clipped one...

- 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.

Apart from giving you 7-3/4" height x 5-1/8" width of additional visibility to your factory mirrors, the K-Source mirrors' straps fit snugly to create a vibration-free experience.

I like this type of mirror better than the CIPA Clamp On # CM11980-2 mirrors just because its a bit more of a secure fit in my opinion. Some vehicles like your 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL 550 do not have a custom fit mirror, but the universal CIPA mirrors have a great snug fit! They are about 7-1/2 inches wide and about 4-3/4 inches tall. They can tilt and pivot to get you the perfect...

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.

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.
