Specs:
These adjustable, universal-fit dual lens towing mirrors expand your field of vision so you can better see your trailer or anything else that is behind you. The ratcheting strap system gives you a snug fit that reduces mirror vibration. Because the mirror arms adjust into several shapes, it can be attached to either the driver's-side or passenger's-side mirror on a variety of vehicles. Each of the mirror's mounting arms is jointed behind the mirror so the arms pivot inward or outward, and 2 additional joints in the middle of each arm add further adjustability so you get the perfect fit.
Built-in clips on the arms will grab the lip between the glass on your factory mirror and the factory housing. These clips are also adjustable to fit the thickness of your mirror housing.
The ratcheting system uses heavy-duty rubber straps to tighten the towing mirror securely over your existing mirror. A quick-release button in the middle of the ratchet lever allows you to unlock the ratchet mechanism for fast strap adjustment or easy removal of the mirror. When you install the towing mirror, use the ratchet lever to tighten the straps. When you have the straps securely on your mirror, close the ratchet covers over the ratchets to lock them in place.
A ball joint behind the mirror allows you to manually adjust the mirror face to different viewing angles. You can also turn the entire mirror face to a horizontal or vertical position - whatever works best for your application. Rubber pads on the straps protect the back of your factory mirror to prevent scratches when this mirror is installed for towing. Tools and other hardware aren't needed for installation, and the tight fit means there is no danger of losing these mirrors on the side of the road. You'll be ready to travel in minutes, and the increased field of vision will allow you to cruise the highways stress free.

Universal dual lens towing mirror clips over one of your existing side mirrors to give you an extended rear view. A ratcheting strap system creates a snug fit to reduce vibration. Driver's and passenger's side. Tool-free installation.This is my second pair of towing mirrors. The first ones were the twentysomething dollars and a big disappointing. I was spending over five minutes to arrange them just to start driving and have them move and be almost useless. These are fitting so much better on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee! The attachment system is ferm and with a better grip on the mirror, the entire assembly is suddenly part of the car and the best thing is that you can adjust the two mirrors without moving the entire thing. When in the right position, you can see a lot more in the mirror so you can confidently move your trailer. Very satisfied with this product, fits very well despite being universal.
Razvan C - 06/10/2021These tow mirrors worked great for my first time out with our travel trailer. They were easy to install and adjust before heading down the road. Once on the road, the mirrors do shake some, but I figured they would based on other reviews. It's not terrible, and you can still see what's behind and beside you. I would actually give these 4.5 stars because of the shaking. And it's really only the larger mirror of the two. The outer mirror is pretty stable. All in all, I like this product and would recommend them to anyone looking for nice tow mirrors that work well and are easy to install.
This is the third set of mirrors I have installed on different vehicles. I bought these for my 2019 Ford Expedition and tow a 25 foot trailer. Once they are installed on the vehicle's mirrors they work fine, providing both near and distant views of the trailer and road. Because of the rounded shape of the Expedition's mirrors these mirrors are finicky to install, requiring multiple adjustments to get them properly placed. This is as much a criticism of the Expedition's mirrors as it is the K-Source mirrors--they are "universal" after all. The first time I used the mirrors I was fearful that they would come off at 70 mph but they stay in place and there is limited amount of vibration--I get a clear view. I was attracted to these mirrors because of the double view and that has been excellent.
The best thanks so much , very easy to install and use . Doesn’t vibrate when you drive. I recommend it. etrailer.com , you nailed again. Good product as you recommend it for my truck. Thanks
I've tried multiple mirror styles on the Ford Explorer and these are the best. They stay on the mirrors which are curved and do a great job while towing the camper. The view is excellent and the quality outstanding. Highly recommend these. Other mirrors actually fell off on the highway as the small tabs that slide into the vehicle mirror housings are made of white metal and as you put pressure on them they crack. The ratchet style connectors make this a perfect device for these curved mirrors on the car.
ROBERT F - 09/16/2020These KSource 3990 towing mirrors seem quite substantial and well designed to fit on my pickup truck, a 2004 Tacoma. I was a bit surprised at how thick the plastic is and how solid they feel attached to the existing mirrors. The securement system took a few minutes to figure out but seems well engineered and doesn't interfere with any motorized adjustment of the original mirror. The smaller fisheye type mirrors on the outside give a very wide view behind the truck and trailer. The larger mirrors on the inside do vibrate somewhat and I will probably attempt to shim them somehow to cut down on the vibration. Both mirrors are quite adjustable for viewing angle so I have three separate viewing angles on each side of the truck, including the original mirror. That is a whole lot of reflections! It took about an hour of towing my 16 foot camper trailer to adjust the mirrors, especially the passenger side mirrors, I had to pull over several times to tweak that side. So far the mirrors are a helpful addition to my towing rig. This would be a five star product if K Source could address the vibration of the larger mirrors, but in my book, so far so good. These mirrors do provide a wide view and a good sense of what is beside and behind the truck and trailer at a distance, but they can't provide a view of what is directly behind the trailer. I don't think any mirror can, that function is more into backup camera territory.
Received the mirrors and installed them the same day. They feel good and I don't have any trepidation concerning them staying on while traveling. Bought them for my 2017 Tahoe for when pulling a camper trailer, the factory mirrors just don't have enough viewing for backing up. Have not traveled with them on yet but think they will greatly enhance the viewing the car and trailer.
This extension mirror work well for towing our small trailer. It's supposed to fit our 2015 Audi Q5 which was what I entered when ordering. The problem is this mirror housing has an extreme curve and the mirror would slide off without another attachment aid. Before taking on the road the first time I attached a nylon strap with a Fastex buckle (3 ft from REI), tying the mirror arm back to where the mirror connects to the car body, and that did the trick.
I bought these to go on a 2016 Toyota 4 Runner. I can't give them more then 3 stars because I haven't used them yet. I am hoping that the straps that go around the back of the mirror will keep the mirrors on the drivers side from blowing off on two lane highways when on coming 18 wheelers go by me at high speeds. I have owned the Cipa Universal mirrors, #CM1198-2 for two seasons and have had them blow off 3-4 times during this on coming traffic scenario described above. The ratcheted straps look like they will help to prevent this blow off problem
Easy to install and provide better field of view for towing trailer. I like the easiness of the installation and can’t see any office so far.
Not fully understanding why Ford didn’t put tow mirrors in a vehicle boated to have the largest towing capacity of any SUV I had to look for other options on my Expedition. I’ll be honest I was suspect of the clip & strap mirrors but after 20,000 miles in 12 months I haven’t lost one and they are solid on the mirror. I’ve recommended these several times. Well worth the purchase.
Using on an 2017 Ford Expedition. Installing them is easy. The universal mirrors does increase the viewing area when pulling a large travel trailer. I gave 4 stars because it is hard to get it adjusted to get the right coverage with the smaller mirror. For short trips I leave them in place rather than taking them off and then having to go through the process of readjusting. Not a bad purchase but if I had to replace them I would probably go with a single mirror instead of the dual mirror. The original expedition mirrors can cover about 85% of the needed view without moving the mirrors so its that last little bit that I am trying to see easily (without readjusting original mirrors on the fly)
Even though I bought the mirror extensions in March, I am just now having the chance to use them. I have them installed and they look like they are going to work just fine. I am not the most adept at putting things together and figuring out how they are to work, but once I got the hang of it, they are easy to use.
Donald E - 07/08/2021These are really nice. The ratchet straps seem strong . They mounted easily and have remained secure at 80+ mph. The independent adjustments for each mirror section is nice. I definitely recommend these mirrors for towing
lee s - 06/23/2021I bought these for my 2014 Expedition as there were no "slip-on" type mirrors available at the time. After some trail in fitting these they worked well. I towed a 22' car hauler from Kansas to Reno NV and back with no problems. I did find that after they were on the vehicle awhile the straps needed to adjusted and tightened up but the ratchet type straps worked well for that. Also, no marring of my painted mirrors. They even retract with the folding mirrors I have on this truck. Pictures attached are the only two I have kind of showing the mirrors, not too good. etrailer has always been good to deal with. I would recommend these strap on mirrors. I wish they made the slip on type mirror for this year Expedition as it has a cleaner look.
Bought these to use on an Audi SQ5, catalog says they fit THEY DONT EVEN COME CLOSE. Mirror case angle keeps the straps from ever gaining sufficient purchase to hold without slipping off. After I reviewed other reviews I found one for an sq5 who also concluded that they dont fit but came up with a work around involving other straps. I’m not going to drive country with a mirror hanging on with a bungee cord. Terribly misleading and a total waste of time and money. I should have read all the way through the reviews, but seller should also and not make false claims. Using these as per instructions would create a dangerous condition and would fall off in five miles.
Really like this product. Easy to install/remove, quite steady, and provides great visibility with both flat and convex mirrors. The only con would be they don't stick out just quite far enough on my Nissan Pathfinder to see down the full side of the trailer. They do provide great visibility, don't get me wrong. I personally simply like to be able to see down the entire length with just a sliver of the trailer visible in the inside edge of the flat mirror. Otherwise, I recommend this product
Brad H - 04/05/2021Once the initial adjustment is made, the mirrors are easily removed and re-installed when needed again. They are stable and nicely extend my rear view, including being able to see vehicles in close proximity to the back of my trailer. I haven't had an opportunity for extensive use to date but feel confident they will perform as expected. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an inexpensive tow mirror.
Richard H - 04/02/2021I had purchased another set of towing mirrors somewhere else and hated them. They got tossed. So I bought the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors and hoped they would be better. What a difference. I love them. They never come off unless I want them too. Thanks for a great product.
The product works as described. It took me a minute to understand how to adjust the straps but I was able to do it. The instructions could have been better. The mirror extenders fit perfectly on my Colorado side view mirrors. They shake a little but that was expected - no issues. After installing them the first time the reinstalling was easy. Very satisfied.
Actually, the product itself is 5-star. However, it does not work on a 2019 Honda Ridgeline, or any other factory mirror with V-shape on the bottom of the mirror. If I clamp it to the flat, outer portion of the factory mirror, it's too easy to fly off (photo 2) If the factory mirror is flat on the bottom, they should work great!
The clip on mirror works well once it is firmly attached to the mirror of the truck. I remove the clip on mirror when I am not planning to tow the trailer for a while. The clip on mirror is easy to install once you make sure that the locking and holding features are in the proper location.
These tow mirrors worked great on my 2018 Tacoma. I wouldn’t have been able to see around my trailer without them. I pulled a trailer about 2500 miles, over a two week period, often at highway speed & mirrors didn’t move a millimeter. I’m very pleased with them, easy to put on & take off. Didn’t scratch the paint on the factory Tacoma mirrors at all.
I purchased the KS3990 Universal Dual Lens Clip-On pair of mirrors and found them to be easily installed on my 2016 F-150 Ford truck mirrors. The on-line help video for the 2016 F150 was helpful. They seem to be fairly well secured onto the existing mirrors, which are NOT actually rectangular in shape, as was portrayed in the video. In addition to the upper outside corners, the lower horizontal edge (towards road) has a slight upwards tapering effect. I have test driven the vehicle with the 26 ft. travel camper in tow and the mirrors seem to provide much improved visibility on both sides. We will be taking a weekend trip in the near future to confirm that these mirrors are completely adequate.
DISAPPOINTED! I purchased these towing mirrors for a 2014 Dodge Durango. The side view mirror housings are slick chrome and tapered away from vehicle. Therefore these towing mirror straps will not keep them on at all. I tried x crossing the straps but that didn't work. They need an additional strap to hook to the vehicle side of the housing to keep them from sliding off.
