CIPA Replacement Mirrors





CIPA USA is based in Port Huron, Michigan, a small suburb near Detroit, the heart and soul of the automotive industry. Most of CIPA’s business is supplying OEMs with the best mirrors and accessories possible. The ability to swim (and survive) in the supplier shark pool means they have mastered the manufacturing and delivery of first-rate products. In turn that means that the OEM-replacement and unique aftermarket parts they sell are all of OEM quality.

The origins of CIPA date back to 1926. Today, they’re based in Port Huron, Michigan, right at the foot of the Detroit automotive industry. For nearly a decade, they've provided quality mirrors to the aftermarket as well as OEM units to many of the world's leading automotive manufacturers including BMW, Mercedes, Volvo and Volkswagen. The ability to meet the intense demands of being an OEM supplier means a superior product for the aftermarket as well.

Dealers and consumers should look for custom towing mirrors that utilize First-Surface OE grade glass, which increases resistance to image distortion and eliminates the occurrence of "ghosting" and multiple images. This can happen with second-surface mirrors, due to the user having to look through the thickness of the glass before a reflection is seen. All CIPA mirrors use first-surface glass, whether they’re OEM replacements or unique aftermarket parts.

CIPA makes mirrors for towing, for your off-roader, ATV, or UTV. Whether it’s an OEM-style mirror or a more custom solution that hangs on your original mirror or replaces it entirely, CIPA mirrors are made to OEM standards. Whenever possible, CIPA mirrors attach to the original mounting points as your OE mirror, so you don’t need to drill any holes. For occasional towing use, get CIPA towing mirrors that attach to the door with vinyl-covered hooks and nylon straps.

Works Well as Aftermarket Replacement in Nissan Quest
I drive a minivan leased from a transit agency for a commuter vanpool. The windshield was replaced with a non-Nissan windshield that did not come with a mirror attached. The stock Nissan mirror is a "one-and-done" part - it cannot be removed from a windshield without seriously damaging the mounting bracket, and attempts to install the mirror from the original windshield failed (miserably) - the mirror would come off the windshield any time it was adjusted. Although not specifically listed for this application, I determined that the CIPA mirror would likely work without any modification to the windshield. I installed the mirror a couple of weeks ago, and I no longer have any issues with the mirror coming off the windshield. The spring tension in the mirror arm is a little tight, which is my only issue with the mirror. Since I am not the only driver of the van, re-adjustment of the mirror is a regular occurrence, and it's a little tricky to get this mirror set just right. That might improve after a while.

Will Not Fit 2022 F150
This mirror is most likely what I want but the clamps won't open enough to fit mirror housings.
