The clips will adhere to the plastic housing of the mirror, and then there is a strap that will cross the back of the mirror to clamp the...

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2008 Honda Ridgeline
  • I have a towing mirror option for your 2008 Honda Ridgeline that is very similar to the snap-on mirrors you are looking for, but there are no snap-on style towing mirrors that will fit the Ridgeline. Snap-on mirrors are custom fit towing mirrors and at this time, there are no mirror manufacturers that have designed a mirror specifically for your truck. Instead, I recommend looking at the CIPA Dual-View Clip-On Towing Mirror, # 11953. This mirror will fit your truck and I attached a demonstration...

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2001 GMC Sierra With Full Chrome Mirrors
  • We do have universal fit towing mirror options that will work with the full chrome mirrors on your 2001 GMC Sierra, however, the custom slip-on towing mirrors that we carry are only designed to fit the base model OEM mirrors that have either the black or chrome cap (see photo).

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2013 Ford F-150 XLT
  • Don't worry, I can help explain the towing mirrors and help you find the right ones for your 2013 Ford F-150 XLT.

  • Can a Stick On Hot Spot Mirror be Used on a 2011 Chevy Silverado with Heated Mirrors
  • The best option for a hot spot mirror for the heated mirrors on your 2011 Chevy Silverado would probably be a stick on mirror like # 49304 that you have referenced. However, depending on how hot the factory heated mirrors get, it may cause the adhesive on a stick on mirror to loosen up and the mirror will fall off. The factory heated mirrors will heat up whether there is a stick on hot spot mirror or not so it will not affect the performance of the factory mirrors.
