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.

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.
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today we'll be reviewing part number CTM3000. These we're the original custom towing mirrors from Longview. They are a slide on design and both the driver and passenger side mirrors are included. The slip on mirrors are going to provide excellent towing visibility. The mirrors come complete with hardware and they're easily installed in just a few minutes without any tools. It's going to use a positive hook and knob method to secure the mirror.
Once that's fully secure, it's also going to help reduce wind noise and vibration. It has these nice, padded, adhesive-backed pads that go on this portion of the mirror. That's going to absorb any of that vibration. It's also going to protect the factory mirror from being damaged by the slip on mirror. One of the neat features about these mirrors is that they are not going to restrict the breakaway function of the OEM mirror housing or the adjustment of the glass mirror on your factory mirror. Again, the driver and passenger side mirrors are included.
You can see that they are very aerodynamic. They're also going to maintain the aerodynamics of the factory mirror. They easily install. It's a tool free installation. They're not going to scratch or mark your OEM mirrors and they have a premium glass that's really going to help minimize distortion and glare. The way this works is you would install the pads according to the instructions.
Again, they just have the backing there. Once you peel that off it's going to have adhesive so it will stick to the surface that you need it to. Once you have those installed, you can slide this portion over the factory mirror. You're going to take the hook, hook inside the factory mirror between the housing and the mirror. The threaded portion comes back through this hole and then all you have to do is install the little thumb screw there and that's going to secure it all in place.
Just get that all the way tightened down and it's going to give you that nice secure fit that you're looking for. We'll go over a few measurements. We're just going to use one mirror since they are both going to be the same. You can see here that the mirror face is a manual adjustment. You can achieve the angle that you need simply just by pressing in on each corner. The mirror face is going to give us a measurement of 4 3/8" by 5 1/2". The overall length of the mirror itself from the edge of the housing to the edge of the housing and I am including the mount location here in the back, it's going to give us a measurement of about 16". Again, that's going to be the same for each mirror. That's going to do it for today's review of part number CTM3000. These are the Longview original custom towing mirrors for both the driver and passenger side of your vehicle. .

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.I’m not able to give an accurate review as the truck has been off the road. The mirrors seemed to work fine for the short time I used them
Works well, not much vibration.
A one year review...sheesh. this was one of the worst purchases I've made. I ordered these for my towing rig, a 1991 dodge ram 250. They constantly fell off whenever I would shut the doors. Constantly. I would always have to slide them back on into position. Maybe because they're chrome mirrors I dunno. The sticky pads inside did not hold them firm. But my dad bought a new truck and 5th wheel and I mentioned these mirrors by name for him to avoid.
Threw them in the trash. I don't know if the mirrors were at fault or my truck just vibrates too much. Rear vision was useless as the mirror vibrated so bad. I tried to tighten mounting knob but it snapped off. I tried another type of universal towing mirror but the angle of the Dodge door wouldn't allow the installation.
I recently tried Dometic aero mirrors and had same issues as the slide on mirrors, bad vibration and mounting screws came loose.
Frustrated
Very good product fitment is perfict, have had no issues at all, and etrailer.com is great to work with, I will defying be doing more business with them in the future.

Still works great after a year
Received my order promptly, packed very well. Connected them to my side mirrors, slid them right on without any problems. I was a bit worried they would be loose but they are very snug with the rubber pads attached to them. I had been using the side view mirrors with the rubber straps but those mirrors had a lot of vibration to them, these have no movement whatsoever, highly recommend these, very satisfied customer!
Good product but I was a little worried about the way they attached so I added a self tapping screw through the bottom and into the stock mirror housing. Good and solid and the hole is not visible when the screw is removed.
The fit and view seem fine. Using both pads there is very little vibration. A better fit than the strapped set I used in the past. I would recommend them.
Mirrors snapped right on! Great extension of view and minimal vibration.
The mirrors look good and fit very well I would recommend them to anyone looking for a set of tow mirrors
The product is serviceable but would have been nicer with a slightly larger mirror.
They did real good made my life better pulling 5 wheel and camper
Good mirrors for my older dodge
I received the mirrors very fast,ans are exactly what I expected thanks!
Easy transaction,product was just what I wanted and shipped right away. I would use them again
Installed the mirrors and they fit great had my worries but great product for a greater price
Great product, super fast shipping. Thank you!
5,000 plus miles and counting. Leave them on even when not towing. No wiggle. Mountings still secure. Aerodynamic and much more attractive than other mounting systems. Pricy but well worth it. Toyota did not even offer towing mirrors for the 1st generation Tundras!!!
Be aware. The pad coming with those mirrors is way to small. There will be spots, where the inner of the mirrors touches the plastic of your real mirror. It will strach them! Tried to pad the mirror more from the inside. But its not possible to get such a thin pad like the one coming with these mirrors. In this case, they get to thick and dont fit anymore.
Currently on use on a 1995 Chevy Suburban (aftermarket mirrors).
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.
Their customer service is top notch. I ordered mirrors in November after my fall trip and put them in the garage. In March I opened the box to discover 2 parts were missing. They sent me new parts and I'm in business. Thanks!
Mirrors are easy to take on and off and feel very secure. Which makes them work very well for towing my camp trailer during the summer.
i do question longevity of these mirrors because attachment is based on tension of a plastic threaded bolt.
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.
