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.

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.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.
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.

Great
These mirrors did not fit my truck, so I ended up giving them to a friend. He stated that they fit; however, they are not a tight fit, and they rattle at highway speeds.
It needs some extra work to attach it. It does not come with sufficient fasteners to secure it over the existing mirror. I created an engineering marvel using zip ties. It works fine once it is installed.
I had some trouble installing the mirror extensions on my 2012 Chevy Tahoe. As you can see in the photo below, the J-hook with the flat disc is not long enough to reach the adapter. It measures 3 inches from the large hole in the shell to the inside of the OEM mirror. Since the J-hook is only 3 inches long, there is no way to attach the knob to it. All the other applications seem to place the large hole in the shell much closer to the edge of the mirror. The shell does fit very nicely to the OEM mirror with no gaps. I solved the problem by using 'ball bungees' in place of the J-hooks. These are used to attach tarps to metal frames, awnings, etc. I used three ball bungee's (2 on top and 1 on the bottom). I think these work much better. The extension mirror is tight against the factory mirror and the bungees hold it there without scratching the paint. I like this set-up much better so I won't need the KLV 4010 kit. You might consider a re-design. I didn't like the threaded J-hooks. It was very hard to screw on the knobs the first time without cross-threading them and I suspect they are prone to breakage. If someone bumps in to the mirrors in the parking lot, the bungees just stretch and nothing breaks. Probably a lot cheaper too.
They fit the mirrors but the screws are not long enough. Can not figure out how to make them work. Very frustrating with the wait that we had in getting them.

You mentioned that they were not fitting and I wanted to ask a few questions. Would you be able to send pictures of your mirrors? Are they black capped mirrors?

As you can see the mirrors fit the truck without the hardware. The problem the screws are not long enough. In one photo I am holding the brackets down and the 1 bolt does not even go through the bracket hole. As it is now I can not tighten it onto the truck mirror.

I reached out to the manufacturer and they will send out a new hardware kit to you.
Doesn't fit my truck mirror well.

Would you be able to provide more details as to how these didnt fit well? Custom fit mirrors like these should be an easy and snug fit.

Actually my truck got totalled and I wasnt able to use them.
They appear to be what I wanted but haven't installed them yet.
Must love them, this is the second time I have purchased a set as I had them stolen in Valle parking. They are a little hard to put on, but are secure and I leave them on all the time. I really do love them and pull my trailer with great view behind me. The installment video was very helpful sandi
Fit well on the mirrors. The only issue we had was that the foam pieces on the passenger side mirror were not on right, we had to modify them so that they fit securely. Handy husband so no big deal.
Directions not clear. Not as user friendly as the snap and zap mirrors.
These mirrors did a pretty good job for my truck. They have a flame design on the front of the housing that I'm not wild about but I don't see them when I drive so...what the heck. The housing doesn't interfere with the factory mirrors view or function. The smaller outside mirrors are a little small and it takes a while to find just the right place to set them. I will say that once they are set they have remained in place and don't require continuous adjusting. There is slight, and I mean slight, wiggle in the mirror but no vibration or distortion even at highway speeds. Overall, I'm satisfied with the performance of these pretty affordable alternatives.

A year later these mirrors havent broken, chipped or gotten loose. They still dont vibrate and continue to be a solid piece. Id recommend them again.
They worked great and were easy to remo ve
Only thing I missed was not having a means to track the package. Haven't had an opportunity to try them yet but can't imagine they will be a great improvement.
I am a new travel trailer owner. These mirrors are really great. They fit my 2014 Tahoe like a glove. I only rated 4 stars because I have not finalized installation. If I can figure it out, I would rate 5 stars. By the way, customer service was superb! I will order more product from etrailer.

Excellent product. I have made multiple trips pulling my 28 camper and using these mirrors. I was able to accept a couple back in campsites vs. pull-thru sites due to the ability to use the mirrors to accurately back into a narrow site. Proper placement of the cushion strips made for not only a secure fit but also protected the factory finish on the mirrors of my 2013Tahoe. Thanks eTrailer!
the mirrors fit my truck like a glove the only thing i have a concern about is the mounting pieces to hold the mirror on, i don't know if the plastic will hold up in cold weather when the temps fall to sub zero

Hey Patrick, thanks for the follow up message. I am still liking the purchase I made , the mirrors are wonderful and still working as they should with weekly use , and the brake control box is also doing what its supposed to be doing and is used weekly also . I am happy with the purchase I made and will for sure use etrailer.com for future items on this truck and the others that i own .
use them all the time
The mirrors worked as designed, but they are a little smaller than the originals, therefore harder to see a large area.
Mirror extensions were advertised as direct fit for my vehicle but the included hardware did not. Directions were unclear and the installation video wasn’t for my vehicle

I will have our customer service team reach out to you. These mirrors will fit a 2011 Cadillac Escalade as long as they do not have the chrome cap onr the mirrors.
At first the install seemed easy, but after figuring it out these things are awesome. I use them every time I throw on my camper and haven't had any blind spot issues. I paired them up with a backup camera from etrailer and now can backup and hook up my boat up without any problems.
We used the mirrors this past weekend. They worked great, fit well and had very little vibration/shaking at 70 MPH. I echo what many have said about the attachment hook bending when tightening them down. I wonder how long they will last. Friends of ours have a 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 which take the LVT-1800. Those only require the hook to hold them in place not the hook, other bold and bracket as required on these. It appears the back of LVT-1800 mirror reached further across so the bolt and bracket are not required. The LVT-1800 looks to be a much better design and I wish the CTM-1600 were the same. Etrailer was great to work with so much so that I just placed another order for some other items.
Overall I am very happy with the mirrors. They fit very snug to my Yukon's factory mirrors. The mounting hardware was to short for my application, the reason for 4 stars. It may have been because of the factory chrome pieces on backs of the mirrors. But with some minor design improvements they fit well, ie. zip-tie to extend the back loop. Another inch of thread would have solved the problem. The longview mirrors hold position very well. I also like that I could still fold in my power mirrors while in camp. Which doesn't seam like a big deal until you have kid walk into them because they are not use to them being there.
The mirrors fit the truck very well. Video was a big help in putting the holder together. 2013 Silverado
Biggest problem was following the directions as to where to place the felt pieces. Called etrailer rep and although she was helpful, she had the same problem with the directions. Etrailer rep was very courteous and helpful.
Called Longview, where the mirrors were sent from. Not a professional answering machine message and later found out it was a personal cell phone. I was told to put the felt pads where they rub on the mirror. Not as professional a place as etrailer.
I have had CIPA mirrors on other trucks and have liked them. These mirrors seem very similar other than the way they are locked onto the truck mirror.
