Good but had problems (2 outages in a month)

Normal fix -- Had something similar on my GMC 3/4T Duramax and they lasted for years. This pair is fine but the mount is prone to vibration and on the passenger side the rubber mount has broken and one of the two bolts has been lost. I managed to use a coupler and wing nut so the mirrors can still be used - but 2 breaks/failures on something so new? is that easy? Why did it only get 3 stars.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Works perfectly! for tow mirror

I bought two of these to use on our Suburban when towing a trailer. Cheap, but works great. Both mirrors swivel so you can get the view you want. I was worried about how solid they would be with just two rubber bands, but they hold on with minimal air puff - even at 120km/h. They flutter a little in the air, but unless you're looking to install something permanently on your car, they're great!

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Useless features

Good product for the price

Overall a good product. The two mirrors on this product are adjustable to provide a good view. It sticks to the car mirror pretty well and seems to stay in place. It keeps the car mirror completely clear for a better view. I used to use a suction cup mirror attached to a car mirror. It made it difficult to see as it took up space on the mirror. What didn't I like about Copa and why am I rating it a 4? because the mirror vibrates at higher speeds and in windy weather. Otherwise I recommend. I…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • No machine

Does what you need, but not the best.

Can't say I love them but they do the right thing. I use them on a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee when towing a small RV. There is a strong vibration, due to which it is difficult to see, especially with a large mirror. A smaller outside mirror is more stable. Adjusting can be tricky as you're setting them up while seated, but if you then move around, wind resistance pushes the mirrors inward, distorting the angle. I will keep using them until I find a better one.

Pros
  • Does not obstruct existing mirrors
Cons
  • Reliability

Not bad for a clip-on product

Would recommend this to anyone towing a trailer. Since my previous truck had factory folding mirrors, I had to say that this is the best alternative, but it's close. The vibrations from the car are noticeable, installation was fairly easy although it seems that the towing mirrors can eventually come loose if they are not properly secured around the car's mirrors. The instructions show that the straps go straight down to buckle up. I found crossing the straps to buckle up made it more secure to…

Pros
  • Easily adjustable arms fit most applications
Cons
  • Legacy

Poor fit best for outdoor accessories

Mirror did not fit securely on my Dodge Dakota 05. The adjustable rubber straps seemed to hold up well when the car was not moving, but once on the road, the mirror frame's top and bottom clips came loose and the straps couldn't hold it in place. Separate mirrors on the unit (convex and flat) weren't difficult to adjust, although the flat mirror was more difficult to aim. Overall, the devices were only marginally more powerful and useful than without them. I have a small trailer that is 6'6"…

Pros
  • Dual adjustable mirrors increase field of view
Cons
  • Not bad but...

The mirrored shape of the 2018 Honda Pilot makes them barely fit.

Nice cheap towing mirrors. $25 for two. They seem to be working. During the first ride I adjusted a lot and tried to get the passenger side set up properly. The biggest issue is the pentagon shaped mirrors on the 2018 Honda Pilot. Because of this, the bottom clamp doesn't fit very well. Especially on the passenger side. There's a blind spot camera which makes the shape even weirder. They stayed on while driving. As expected strong vibration. But it costs $25 to have some. As far as I can see…

Pros
  • Quick installation without tools
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
