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:

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:

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:
2019 Subaru Ascent

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:

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:

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:
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.



by:
2010 Toyota Tacoma

Fits great; highly adjustable; price is right!



by:
Pontiac Montana

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:

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:

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:
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:

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:

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



by:

Now I can see behind me asI drive with my camper on back.



by:

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:

Quick shipping. Mirrors fit exactly as in simple assembly instructions. You can actually exceed 10 feet width with these mirrors.



by:

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.



by:

Easy to install and easy to take off.



by:

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:
2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

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.



by:
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:

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



by:

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

6/20/2023

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



by:

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

    The CIPA tow mirrors part # CM11980-2 are a confirmed fit for your 2006 GMC Canyon and would be a good option. 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.

    We 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...

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.

  • Will the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror # CM11980 Fit a 2002 Ford Explorer
    The CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror # CM11980 is a universal tow mirror. 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.

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 with Telescoping Mirrors
    As 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.

You may also want to check out the K-Source # KS3891-2 which will fit most mirrors up to 11-1/2" tall. If your mirrors do not fall within these dimensions you're probably looking at something like the # CM11980-2 which would clamp on to the top of your factory mirrors. If they're as big as imagine they are this is probably going to be the...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for a 2020 Honda Ridgeline
    There 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.

The CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors part # CM11980-2 are what I recommend in the meantime.
