The upsides are;
1. they are easy to install and are adjustable.
The down sides are;
1. The clamps do not stay tight. They came loose and I lost the first mirror on our 2nd trip with them. It was about 5 miles on the highway. I then ordered another one from Amazon. I lost the second one after 8 trips at the exact same spot. I was doing 55 -60 mph no bumps, passing vehicles ,etc. to blame. I checked the tightness both times prior to leaving, careful not to under or over tighten. The third one, from Amazon, has a loose clamp which I cannot tighten.
2. The nut which tightens the adjustable bar on one assembly will not stay tight.
3. The mirror will not stay tight for a trip over 30 miles. All you will see is roadway or (usually) the sky.
It's primary advantage over other universal mirrors is that you can extend it out much further, meaning you can actually see behind your trailer, which is, after all, the whole point if these things. Most of the other universal mirrors, including the other CIPA ones, are universally useless in this respect.
It's quick to put on and take off, and, crucially, doesn't interfere with the operation of the existing power mirror (at least on my Honda Pilot). It also gives a clear image and doesn't vibrate too much.
Now for the negatives. There are two main flaws. The first is that, if you don't take precautions, you WILL eventually lose the mirror. There's too much surface area sticking out into the airstream for the little clamps to hold. Some day you'll be driving at 65mph and a large truck will pass by in the other direction and your driver side mirror will be gone. I'm just buying my 5th one of these for this reason! I plan to make some mods this time: either a retaining loop, or some grip tape, or something. We'll see! Oh, and don't be tempted to try to prevent this by over tightening the clamps. They're made of plastic and will snap if you do this. Yep, lost one that way too. That's the other flaw.
They're also rather expensive compared to other universal mirrors, but, since the other universal mirrors don't really work at all, these are still better value in my mind..
So, get these, but maybe consider adding a retaining leash.
