CIPA Side View Mirrors

My PU had Std factory mirrors when I purchased it. When I bought a camping trailer I purchased a set of mirrors that clip over the fator mirrors. They proved unsatisfatory because the glass was small and they were hard to adjust. The CIPA extendable Side View mirrors work great, they have a large viewing surface, are fully adjustable with the factory remote switch and they extend far enough so that it is easy to maneuver with my 36 foot 5th wheel camper attached.

All I can say about these mirrors is wow. These mirrors are a breeze to install and set up. I highly recommend these if you are towing anything. I pull a 37' 5th wheel with a 2008 Chevy 2500HD and have tried a variety of different mirrors and these are simply the best. Other mirrors I have tried continually viberate out of position forcing me to continually stop. These slide over the existing mirror housing and lock into place using a thumb screw and a small plastic wedge. You will need to periodically check the tightness of the screw but other than than, install and enjoy the ride.

The mirror housing matches the factory very well. The problem is the glass. It delivers a distorted fun house reflection. It is good enough to do the job, but it can make you dizzy looking in it. Also they could include the nuts for mounting and/or directions. Be careful when removing the old mirror not to drop the nust into the door, they need to be reused. That would have been nice to know ahead of time.

Very good towing mirror for the price. Very easy to install and they work well on my truck. However, when tightening down the UTM to my stock truck mirro, it is hard to get a full grip on tightening knob. I have big hands, and my fingers don't get a complete grip around the tightening knob. I bypassed this issue by using a cloth (to protect the plastic knob handle) inside a channel lock.

The mirrors look great and magnify more than stock mirrors. However (depending on the car) When you take off the stock mirror the place where the mirror once was looks rather goofy. Also (i dont know if it specifies) they are not power mirrors. But other than that they are definatly flashy looking mirrors
