Is the Glass In CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors CM11800 Flat or Convex
Question:
They fit great and the drivers side works great. However the passenger side is really magnified. I realize that the stock mirrors make things smaller on the passenger side but the tow mirror is magnified much beyond a normal view like on the drivers side. Is this the way it is supposed to be?

Expert Reply:
The glass that is in the CIPA towing mirrors, # CM11800, is not convex like on a typical passenger side mirror. Instead it is flat glass like your driver side factory mirror or the rearview mirror.
Typical passenger side mirrors are convex which is why you see the warning sticker stating objects in mirror are closer than they appear. Flat glass does not distort how the images appear so that is why it looks different.
