Amazing deal!
These are amazing! Great price, they were a little tough to get on but seems needed for high winds and weather. I would definitely recommend these. It fit our 2011 GMC Yukon XL Denali.

With the mirrors also came an instruction sheet on the best way to install the towing mirrors to the vehicle ...
I received my towing mirrors this afternoon and unboxed them. With the mirrors also came an instruction sheet on the best way to install the towing mirrors to the vehicle mirrors. I read the instructions before attempting to install them. Then as I tried to install them to the truck, I found it very difficult to get the bottom tabs to come up over the bottom lip of the truck mirror housing. I was exerting too much pressure (or what I felt was becoming too much pressure) for the truck mirror pivot post, so I stopped trying and took them off. I laid them in the yard in direct sunlight so as to warm them up and allow the towing mirrors plastic to expand just a pinch to facilitate fastening them to my truck without breaking something. After about 1/2 an hour of sitting in the sun I attempted to attach them to my truck again. Although heating them up with sunlight and they seemed to expand a hair in order to get the bottom lip of the towing mirrors over the truck mirrors, I found using a thin putty knife between the towing mirrors bottom lip/clip and the truck's mirror helped guide the clip/lip out and up just enough for them to snap into place as they should.The towing mirrors clip design seems tight enough where they are not going to fall off while traveling down the road and the looks of the towing mirrors are very nice. Inside the housing for the towing mirrors, each has two soft material strips to protect the finish of my truck mirrors and found that to be a nice touch. The shape of the mirrors on the towing part match the contour of the truck's mirrors perfectly without any undue gaps or spaces. The towing mirrors pivoting mirrors hardware seem to be firm/tight enough where they don't flop around, vibrate (too much) or lose its adjusted position but are giving enough where one does not have to fight with going too far up/down, left/right when adjusting them for the best view behind your towed vehicle.Although I would prefer the "Lock Down" feature of the towing mirrors I had on my 2000 Chevy (thumbscrew that tightened a padded bar onto vehicle mirror) I think these clip-on mirrors (for 2011 Chevy) will work quite nicely. I just wish these mirrors won't so difficult to attach. I haven't tried to take them off yet, but I can update this review if there are any issues that arise.(July 26, 2015): OK, I've had these mirror extensions on for a while know and I can express my long-term review on them. As I stated in my initial review that the mirrors were a tad tough to latch into position but I just removed them from my truck. I did not have any difficulty removing the extensions from the stock mirror (no tools needed like when I installed them). The mirror lenses on the extension do vibrate a bit while traveling down the road but no more than any other mirror extensions I've used on other vehicles. When one adjusts the lens, they stay in their position and there is no need to re-adjust over time.The tabs that hold the extensions to your stock mirrors are very secure and you don't need to worry about them coming off unless you want them to come off. In fact, I was parked at work and an inattentive driver, that parked next to me, clipped my mirror on the passenger side. The other driver was backing out (I was backed into parking space while he was parked "Nose-in"). His mirror caught the mirror extension of the passenger side of my truck and pulled the extensions and stock mirror towards the front of my truck. The mirror extensions did not budge from its hold onto my stock mirror but the contact did snap two of the three bolt/studs off that secure my stock mirror to the door of my truck. I got my stock mirror repaired without any problem but I was impressed that the after-market extensions held without an issue. In closing, I would recommend these towing mirrors to anyone that needs to view their 6 while towing a trailer.

Decent, low-cost solution for occasional towing
I've used these on a 2012 Tahoe to pull a large Jayco popup from Oklahoma to Michigan and back twice. They offer some assistance, though their usefulness is in direct proportion to their cost. Simply put, they'll give you the $50 view. If you want the $350 view, spend the money and have OEM-style towing mirrors installed on your truck. These clip-on mirrors will enlarge your sight window a bit and allow you to focus on an area you wouldn't normally be able to see with your OEM mirror (like monitoring your trailer tires or things tied to the top of the trailer), but they aren't going to give you the view that a pair of extendable tow mirrors (i.e., "trucker mirrors") would provide. The pros: (1) they didn't fall off the truck; (2) I was able to install and uninstall them with relative ease without encountering the difficulties others have reported; (3) they weren't an eyesore when mounted to the OEM mirrors, as the fit is custom, so they kind of look like they belong on the truck; (4) the mirror stays put once you've adjusted it, and doesn't change position in the housing when you shut the door or hit bumps; (5) the mirror panels appear to actually be mirror glass, and not the cheap shaving-style mirror glass you would see in a shower mirror; and (6) they come with a decent cloth bag for storing them when not mounted to the truck. The only cons for me are the size and stability of the mirror. The mirror itself is a little too small to function well as a tow mirror; it needs to be both a bit wider and taller. I found it to be more of an oversized blind spot mirror that provided some added benefit for towing. It's also a little too sensitive to the vehicle and wind vibrations, and this is reflected (no pun intended) in the quality of the image you see in the mirror. They'll do the job if you're looking for an inexpensive way to improve your view of what you're hauling. If you're looking for a serious towing mirror, spend the money and have the OEM mirrors installed, because you're not going to get that capability here (nor should you expect to at this price). For what these are, they do a pretty good job.

Great buy for the price
Got these for my 2012 Yukon XL when we bought a new travel trailer. OEM mirrors were the standard and did not extend. These provided the extension to get better sight lines down the side of the trailer and even slightly behind.There are many comments on here about the installation. They snapped right on within minutes and came off just as easily by hand. You do have to push/rotate them a bit harder than it might seem like it should to get the bottom clips to snap on but its really not bad. More just the mental hurdle of pushing on the mirrors. Follow instructions and they are right now. Also came right off when I returned to daily driving with my Yukon. They come with a bag with padding to keep them in. Hanging on a hook in my garage for the next trip. You will NOT likely fit through an auto car wash with them on so I would't try.For travel they do vibrate a little. so it's not as clear and steady of pictures as the factory mirrors. BUT its not bad at all. It was never hard to see behind me. I'd recommend these over and over again, especially for the price.I had a thought that I'm not sure how they would work if needed in the winter. If I ever had that need I'd probably park inside if at all possible to install/remove.They also look very natural on the truck.

Extra mirrors
Great for pulling camper. Hard to get on and off, so they fit well and once on and traveling will not fall off.

Worked well on 2011 Yukon/20ft enclosed trailer
Only used once so far, but held on securely, didn't vibrate and for the first time ever, I was able to see cars hugged up tight behind the 20ft enclosed Hallmark trailer.
