CIPA 11050 Suction Cup Rearview Mirror, Black, 8" W x 4" H

Like others, I got this for my boat, and it's been working great (have used it several times). The mirror is adjustable to many different positions, and it seems pretty well constructed. I've read other reviews where they say it broke during install, but I didn't have any problems at all...maybe they got a bad one, but mine seems tough. The suction cup is great, and even stays on when going over big wakes with my boat which can be quite a jarring experience. The size of the mirror is just about right. Not too big or small. It doesn't seem to get in the way too bad when driving the boat. Also it gives you a pretty good view of what's going on behind you. Overall, I'm very pleased with this item because it works good and didn't cost much money at all. There are other mirrors out there that cost 5 times as much and don't seem to do much more than this one.

I looked at all the other mirrors advertised and reviewed. Most mirrors are for cars and are made out of plastic with a reflective coating and don't give a great image. I believe this mirror might actually made of glass. I don't know if mirrors for cars cannot be made of glass due to regulations but I guess it does not apply to this product because it is for a boat. I use it in an RV because the RV has no rearview mirror. I needed a way to keep and eye on the kids without turning around. The field of view is perfect. The suction cup worked perfect and stayed on the windshield even when left up for several weeks. In side the accordian rubber boot is a series of nuckles to get the perfect bend and you can tighten the nuckles if you you need to. Over all this mirror worked perfect. Not only is this a value, but I could not find another mirror at any price that would do what I needed to do.

I purchased this for use as a baby mirror to mount in my truck. Mirror glass quality is excellent. It has a convex surface which gives you a nice wide view of what your baby is doing. However, the suction cup window mount leaves much to be desired, it continuously loses suction pressure and falls off the window, especially in outdoor temps over 80°F. For a few more bucks, you can replace the mount with a Garmin Navigation Lever-type Suction Mount from Amazon and you will have an excellent baby mirror. The Garmin mount has an excellent tight fit in the mirror with no modification required at all. The only tool you need to do the upgrade is a Phillips screwdriver. The outcome is excellent, especially when you compare it to what you get for $20 at the baby store.

I'm using it in place of the original rearview mirror in my van. It works! I gave up fixing my original mirror attachment to the windshield glass (adhesive method) using different adhesives. It took me time to think of a solution. I looked around on Amazon and found this mirror. Anyway, I'm pleased with the sharp view of this CIPA glass mirror. The suction attachment position for the angle of my windshield glass did not allow me to put the mirror where the "objects are closer than they appear..." etched line but it is upside down which does not bother me at all. The letters are barely visible. See the two photos. The mirror suction cup seems to work well been three weeks before it got a bit loose that vibrations of the van made the mirror vibrate a little so I knew it was time to give the suction cup a push to refresh the suction pressure. I'd guess after several years of being in the sun the plastic suction cup will need to be replaced (my van is always exposed to sun..never garaged). So far, mirror has not fallen off yet.

First off it works good. It allows me to see the tube towing behind the boat and occupants in the boat. Then the suction let loose while underway and it flew right off into the water ...bye bye. That being said I purchased something half the price and luckily still have it. So it's a good mirror but way over priced for what it is.

I purchased this item based on a recommendation on my RV forum to use in my motorhome, so I could watch the coach behind me when I was driving, since I don't have a rear view mirror inside the coach. I couldn't put it on the windshield because I have an electric sunshade that it would interfere with, so I tried to put it on top of my dash, but it wouldn't stick. I then purchased an adhesive disk, also from Amazon, that is supposed to work with suction cup mounts exactly like this. I tried the two together, because I didn't want to stick the adhesive to the dash until I was sure it would work. No matter how I pushed the cup onto the disk, it wouldn't hold, so now I'm stuck with both a useless mirror and a useless disk.

I purchased two suction cup mirrors for my LiteBoat 1x Sport Rowing Shell so that I can see behind me while rowing. They securely suction to the carbon fiber and stay put rain or shine. I tether them each with a stainless steel safety cable lock in the event I accidentally bump them so that they are not lost to the depths of the water way. Great value, great quality, great field of vision, delivered quickly... highly recommend!

I purchased 2 of these mirrors for our cars despite many reviews that the stems are made of cheap pot metal and they tend to snap. The reviews were true, the metal stem it pretty brittle looking, however there is a workaround! There are two screws on the under part of the mirror that connect the mirror to the stem, between the two mirrors I purchased one was on much tighter than the other so tight that I felt if I were to adjust it in its current state it would have snapped. So: 1: if you receive a mirror that is hard to adjust remove it from the window and flip it upside down exposing the two screws on the back of the mirror that attach it to the stem. 2: loosen the screws slows until the mirror is no longer stuck on the stem and can move without feeling you'll break it. 3: done! Place it back on the window They are not the highest quality but given the price, size, and clarity of these mirrors you just can't beat them.
